Who Is Yousri El Shorbagi?

Yousri El Shorbagi is an Egyptian tourism professional, archaeology graduate, former licensed tour guide and business leader. His career brings together academic knowledge, practical guiding experience, international travel, marketing education and destination management.

He is the CEO of Egypt Tours Club, the traveler-facing brand that creates private tours, tailor-made journeys, Nile cruises, day tours and cultural experiences across Egypt. He is also the founder of Vagus Travel Co., an Egyptian DMC serving international travel agencies, tour operators, private groups and specialist organizations.

“Travel is not only about visiting a place. It is about understanding its history, meeting its people and returning home with a deeper connection to the destination.”
Academic foundation

Studying Archaeology and Understanding Egypt’s Heritage

Yousri graduated from the Faculty of Archaeology in 2001. His studies gave him a strong academic foundation in Egyptian history, archaeology, architecture and cultural heritage. This education later became the basis of his professional approach to guiding, tour design and tourism leadership.

He continued his academic development by completing two diplomas in history and archaeology. These studies deepened his understanding of Egypt’s historical periods, monuments, artistic traditions and architectural development.

From knowledge to interpretation

Becoming a Licensed Egyptian Tour Guide

After completing the required professional guiding diploma, Yousri obtained his official Egyptian tour guide license in 2006. Guiding allowed him to transform academic knowledge into clear, engaging stories for travelers from different countries and cultural backgrounds.

Working directly with visitors taught him that a successful journey needs more than historical facts. It requires good timing, reliable transport, flexibility, attentive communication and an ability to understand what each traveler expects from Egypt.

A lifelong curiosity

A Passion for History, Architecture, Heritage and Theater

Yousri has always enjoyed reading about history, architecture and cultural heritage. His interests extend beyond ancient Egypt to cities, religious buildings, artistic traditions and the wider development of human civilizations.

He also enjoys watching plays in theaters. For him, theater, literature, architecture and archaeology are different ways of understanding people, values and historical change. This broad cultural interest continues to influence how he presents Egypt and designs meaningful journeys.

Learning through travel

Travel Experience Across More Than 20 Countries

Yousri has traveled to more than 20 countries across Eastern and Western Europe. These journeys gave him firsthand experience of different tourism systems, museums, heritage sites, hotels, transport services and visitor expectations.

International travel helped him understand the guest experience from both sides: as an Egyptian tourism professional welcoming visitors and as a traveler navigating unfamiliar destinations himself. This perspective shapes the emphasis he places on clarity, comfort, local support and honest communication.

Connecting expertise with communication

Three Marketing Diplomas and a Modern Tourism Vision

Alongside archaeology and tourism, Yousri studied marketing and earned three professional diplomas in marketing. These studies strengthened his understanding of customer needs, branding, communication, digital tourism and the way travel experiences should be presented to international markets.

His combination of archaeology, guiding, travel and marketing gives him a distinctive perspective: the ability to protect historical depth while presenting Egypt in a modern, accessible and traveler-focused way.
