Born on  September 18, 1977 , Yousri El Shorbagi’s journey into the world of tourism began long before he became a renowned figure in Egypt’s travel industry. His story is one of passion, perseverance, and a deep-rooted love for history, culture, and human connection. 

Early Beginnings
At the young age of seven, Yousri began working in a carpet-making factory. It was here, at just eight years old, that he first heard about the tourism business. The factory owner explained how the carpets they produced were sold in galleries for international visitors. This idea captivated Yousri, planting a seed of curiosity about tourism and the cultural bridges it could build.

By the age of twelve, he had his first direct experience interacting with foreign visitors. Inspired, he devoted his teenage years to reading about Egypt’s history, heritage, and the global tourism industry, already envisioning his future in this field.

Education and Early Career

In 2001, Yousri graduated from the *Faculty of Archaeology – Islamic Architecture Department*. Guided by the advice of his professors, he began studying foreign languages while at university. Italian became his first new language, and by the end of his third level of study, he decided to put his skills into practice. During summer breaks, he traveled to Hurghada to work in the tourism sector, gaining experience in customer service and cross-cultural communication.

Throughout his third and fourth years of study, he also worked in galleries as a salesman, combining academic knowledge with practical exposure. This blend of scholarship and hands-on experience laid the foundation for his future career.

After graduation, he moved to Sharm El-Sheikh, where he worked for nearly two years in tourism sales before enrolling in a two-year program to obtain his professional guiding license.
 

Passion for Travel and Exploration
Travel was always Yousri’s personal passion. Despite the challenges Egyptians face in securing visas, he was determined to explore as much of the world as possible. His journeys took him across the Baltic States (Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania), the Czech Republic, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, England, and Turkey . 

Rome left him enchanted, Prague fascinated him with its charm, and Istanbul reminded him of Egypt’s influence within Ottoman art and architecture. Each trip broadened his perspective and deepened his understanding of how travel could shape lives.

 Building Egypt Tours Club
By 2014, after more than a decade of guiding, Yousri realized his greater mission: to transform each traveler’s visit to Egypt into an unforgettable life chapter. He founded  Sharm Tours Club, which later evolved into  Egypt Tours Club —a company designed to cover the entire country.

For ten years, Yousri worked tirelessly, often single-handedly managing every detail to ensure guests received exceptional service. His dedication paid off. Egypt Tours Club became a well-known and trusted brand with a growing base of loyal clients worldwide.

 The Next Dream: Vagus Travel Co.

In 2024, Yousri launched his next visionary project: Vagus Travel Co. Unlike standard travel agencies offering pre-designed itineraries, Vagus Travel focuses on tailor-made experiences crafted for each traveler’s unique personality, needs, and preferences.

With over 23 years of real experience in tourism, Yousri understood that no two travelers are the same. Colors, personality types, moods, time of day, voice tone, even body language—all influence the energy and emotion a person carries during a journey. With this philosophy, Vagus Travel Co. was created to design trips that are not just vacations, but transformative personal experiences.
 

 A Vision for the Future

From making carpets as a child to building internationally recognized travel brands, Yousri El Shorbagi’s life reflects his belief that travel is far more than movement between places—it is a path to self-discovery, connection, and unforgettable memories.

Through Egypt Tours Club and Vagus Travel Co., he continues to share his lifelong dream: turning every traveler’s journey into a story worth remembering.
