A small company, on purpose.

Nile Travels was founded in London by Elwy & Heddy, on a simple conviction: that Egypt, the deepest destination on earth, deserved to be travelled at depth, and almost never is. We design a small number of journeys each year. We own the boats we sail. And we answer our own telephone.

The promise

Many of our guests are private people, and some are public ones. So: we publish no client names, no testimonials with attribution, and no photographs of guests. Itineraries are shared on a need-to-know basis within our own team.

Non-disclosure agreements are available as standard, and we are happy to work directly with family offices, security teams and household staff.

Discretion is not a service we offer. It is how the company is built.

Travel with discretion

Privately arranged journeys grounded in trusted local relationships.
