Egypt Verified
Visit Egypt — 261 heritage sites across 36 cities, hand-checked, with verified prices and honest advice.
About the startup
Egypt Verified is a hand-checked atlas of Egypt's heritage and real travel costs, live at egyptverified.com.
Most travel content about Egypt repeats the same dozen sites, with prices copied from outdated listings. Egypt Verified does the opposite: every one of its 261 sites across 36 cities was gathered and verified by hand, from real sources and on the ground, covering six civilisations — Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Coptic, Islamic and Modern.
What's live today: • The Atlas — a satellite map of Egypt with every city marked and its sites one click away • Egypt Gems — a photo browser filterable by city and civilisation, with the full story of each site • Verified entrance prices showing their source and the date checked (23 sites priced so far — nothing is estimated by the system) • Honest, human safety advice for each visit (heat, tombs, roads), written by an HSE engineer • Custom trip planning — travellers tell Hassan their dates, budget and pace, and get a route built around them • Six languages: English, Arabic, German, French, Chinese and Japanese • Events, ECO Egypt, Egypt Abroad, Learn and Healing sections, plus saved favourites with Google sign-in
Business model: the information is free for travellers. Egypt Verified refers qualified travellers to licensed Egyptian tour agencies and earns a referral commission. The founder has 50+ agency contacts in Egypt and worldwide to offer Egypt Verified as their single source for real prices, authentic information and verified guides.
Goal: one destination that holds all of Egypt — not the famous handful, but every spot worth standing in.
Founded by Eslam Essam, an Alexandrian chemical engineer and HSE professional.
