At Anton’s Egypt Tours, the mission is simple, but ambitious: to provide the #1 travel experience in Egypt.
But this isn’t just about seeing the sights, it’s about truly living the Egyptian lifestyle, from the rich history and vibrant culture to the flavors and stories of its people.
“Travel has the power to shift perspectives,” says Jaclyn Yacoub, co-founder of the agency she built with her husband, Anton.
In 2019, Jaclyn and Anton turned a shared dream into a reality, launching a U.S.-registered travel agency based in Cairo. What began as a passion project quickly grew into a business that guides thousands of travelers each year while maintaining a focus on safety, authenticity, and heart. Their expertise and dedication have even been recognized on national and international platforms, including Jeopardy! and the BBC, solidifying their reputation as a go-to choice for Egyptologist-led adventures.
What surprises Jaclyn most is how travelers return again and again. What often starts as a “bucket list” trip transforms into a deep connection with the people, places, and experiences of Egypt.
It’s not just a vacation; it becomes a meaningful journey that draws visitors back to continue exploring and learning.
Anton, the COO and co-founder, shares how his upbringing surrounded by Egypt’s ancient history shaped his path. “Studying Egyptology wasn’t just an academic pursuit,” he explains. “Every tour I lead is an opportunity to share not only my story but the stories of my ancestors and the land itself.”
Jaclyn, the CEO and co-founder, recounts how a 24-hour stopover in Cairo became a life-changing 20-day stay, leading her to meet Anton and co-found the business. “Having traveled the world as a solo female traveler, I understood the importance of creating experiences that are safe, meaningful, and transformative,” she says.
What sets Anton’s Egypt Tours apart is the attention to personalization and cultural immersion. Each tour is crafted to connect travelers with Egypt in a way that goes beyond traditional sightseeing. From private, high-end tours led by certified Egyptologists to custom itineraries designed around each traveler’s interests, the focus is always on authenticity. Guests are encouraged to step into the rhythm of Egyptian life, experience genuine moments with locals, and leave with friendships that cross continents.
Jaclyn loves sharing hidden treasures with her guests, like the Valley of the Whales, a desert oasis once covered by ocean 40-42 million years ago, where whale fossils still remain. “It feels both adventurous and spiritual, like stepping into a whole new world,” she says. These are the moments that turn a trip into a lifelong memory.
Looking ahead, Anton’s Egypt Tours continues to expand its offerings. VIP experiences include private visits inside the Great Pyramid, sunrise at the Sphinx, and dawn meditation sessions. They also offer immersive team retreats and corporate packages designed to connect, recharge, and inspire. The company is even hiring passionate travel professionals to join their growing team!
From the paws of the Sphinx to private VIP tours for global companies, Anton’s Egypt Tours is more than just a travel service; it’s a gateway into Egypt’s soul, an experience that transforms the way travelers see the world.
