Founder's Story
Amgad Elmasry
Founder · Expedition Egypt
Hello! My name is Amgad Elmasry. I was born and raised in Luxor, Egypt. Most of my life has been spent sharing the great ancient and cultural wonders of my homeland with travelers from around the world.
We Egyptians are proud of our history and heritage, and know that there is nothing else like the wonders of Pharaohs on earth. New discoveries are made every year for us to share with the world.
My family and I moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2013 and became citizens of our new home in 2019. But the sands of our homeland will never leave our blood. Before moving to America, I had gained experience in all areas of tourism and hospitality. After graduating high school in 1993, I worked as a cook, earning a diploma in culinary arts. By 2013, I had become a licensed Egyptian tour guide, with study in Egyptology, and had managed a cruise ship on the Nile for 4 years.
Experience in Egypt has given me opportunity in America to unlock the secrets of my homeland like no one else. Now, Expedition Egypt seeks to provide personalized experiences, exceptional value, and unforgettable expeditions through an ancient land that you will never forget!

"For generations in my family home in Luxor, a stone in the kitchen was used to grind down raw salt for the daily baking, and it was not realized until my great grandmother’s time that the stone was the top of a buried temple pillar. Our home sat above the now famous Luxor Temple!"
