About NASCO
An Egypt specialist for those who travel here, and for those who bring them. For more than 75 years we have planned with care and coordinated on the ground, from private Nile journeys to cruise turnarounds.
Destinations
Where we take you
From the pyramids to the Red Sea, we plan journeys and experiences across Egypt, with our home in Alexandria.
The pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum, with the life of a great modern capital around them.
Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings and the Colossi of Memnon, on both banks of the Nile.
Philae, colourful Nubian villages and one of the most beautiful stretches of the Nile.
Our home city, with its Corniche, its harbour and more than two thousand years of history.
Gateway to the Suez Canal, with its colonial waterfront, lighthouse and a front-row view of the world’s shipping.
Marinas, reefs and time by the water, easily combined with the Nile Valley.

Information we collect
Details you give us. When you send an enquiry or write to us, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, company, email address, phone number and the details of your request.

How long we keep it
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or as long as the law requires, for example for accounting and tax records.

We work with partners in several countries, so your information may be processed outside the country where you live, including in Egypt and the European Union. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to keep it protected.
