Backpacker Concierge Launch!

After 4 years in the making, Backpacker Concierge is open for business!

The Backpacker Concierge travel consultancy was founded by Eric Monkaba, a former tour leader for several of the region's largest tour operators. For years, Eric witnessed first-hand the steady degradation of product offered by the major players, as quality was being sacrificed for shareholders' returns. Not to mention, the negative impact these companies were having on the local culture and work ethic was an unfortunate side effect. Eric was left wondering, "isn't there a better, more responsible way to go about this?"

Backpacker Concierge has positioned itself as the one-stop solution for globe-trotters, whether they be true backpackers or are simply looking for more unique experiences. By actually listening to their customers, the Concierge team is able to put together a program that compliments the clients' tastes and utilizes the expertise of their expansive network of service providers.

The team recognizes and understands the apprehension some adventure-seekers may have when it comes to traveling in Egypt. And therefore, adds a personal touch to every excursion, itinerary, and experience, such as:
  • free, local mobile phone and SIM card upon arrival
  • an "our doors are always open" policy - call us 24/7 for assistance
  • English-speaking service providers along the way
Additionally, Backpacker Concierge is only working with a select network of tried, trusted, and reliable partners, such as:
  • affordable boutique hotels with personalized service
  • international, non-government organizations (NGO)
  • Fair Trade and microfinance start-ups
  • eco-friendly sailboats for multi-day trips
  • Brooke Animal Hospital-approved/supported animal owners (for camel, horse, and donkey excursions)
