About Kemetale

Who We Are


Our story began in 2013 when founders Mohamed Hassan and Ahmed El Leissy met through mutual friends. From their shared love for Egypt and a genuine desire to host others, Kemetale was born. With over 15 years of experience traveling across the country, we've built a strong network of local partners, guides, and artisans. This allows us to offer you truly authentic experiences—from connecting with local communities to discovering places only insiders know.

At Kemetale, we believe a journey should be more than just a trip—it should be a meaningful "Tale" you'll want to share. Our name, Kemetale, combines the ancient Egyptian word "Kemet" (Black Land), a symbol of life and prosperity, with "Tale," representing the unique story you'll create with us.

Our Commitment


We're deeply committed to responsible travel. By partnering with local and environmentally-friendly providers, we ensure your journey not only feels authentic but also directly supports the local community.

This commitment is a cornerstone of our philosophy, and you can see it in every detail of our Dahabeya. We've collaborated with handpicked artists, artisans, and designers to source everything on board, from the unique decor to the high-quality furnishings. This approach allows us to celebrate and preserve Egypt's rich artistic heritage while providing a direct livelihood for the talented individuals who create these exceptional pieces. With us, your travels become a way to not only experience but also contribute to the vibrant cultural tapestry of the region.
