About us
Not a big tour operator in London or New York. A small team of locals — Mohamed, Ahmed, Sara, and a handful of trusted partners — running private tours directly from Hurghada, Egypt.
Mohamed started guiding international tourists in Hurghada in 2014. Early on it was occasional groups — a day at the Pyramids, another at the Red Sea reefs. He picked up English at the University of Hurghada and later spent 2008–2012 studying in Budapest, which is how Hungarian came along too.
Over the years, more families started asking the same question: "Can you organize this for us directly? We don't want to overpay through the hotel concierge or get a guide who doesn't actually speak our language." By 2020, Mohamed was running private tours full-time — with his own van, his own trusted drivers, his own restaurant relationships in Cairo and Luxor.
Oh Yes Tours launched in 2026 as a small team of locals based in Hurghada, focused on international visitors who want depth over scale. The mission is simple: local knowledge + direct communication + transparent prices. No big-brand markup. No commission stops at rug factories.
"Most tourists only see the hotel and the bus. We want to show you the city — the way we live in it."
We live in Egypt. We don't learn how a tour works from a brochure — we know it from our daily lives. Mohamed has been guiding from Hurghada since 2014.
English-speaking, no interpreters. WhatsApp replies within 1 hour during the day, within 4 hours overnight. Pre-trip support, in-trip support, post-trip support.
Prices are quoted upfront with everything itemized — guide fee, transfers, entries, meals. No hidden costs, no "tipping mandatory" surprises, no late-night upsells.
Weather changes, flights are delayed, plans shift. We adapt in real time. If your private day-trip needs to start an hour later because your flight was late, we just adjust.
