✦ Tru Photo Books
A photobook of your summer: Sahel, Gouna and every trip
Every summer leaves a thousand photos spread over five phones. One book puts the whole family’s summer in one place, in order, on paper.
In short
A Tru Photo Book turns a summer or a trip into a printed book from your own photos: a summer on the North Coast (Sahel), a week in El Gouna, Dahab or Sharm El Sheikh, or a trip abroad. It is an A5 hardcover (14.8 × 21 cm), case-bound, with 26 or 50 pages of 200 gsm archival matte paper, printed and bound in Cairo and delivered across Egypt or picked up at a Tru booth. To order, message Tru Booth on WhatsApp.
The summer, in one book instead of five phones
A family summer is photographed by everyone at once: the kids on the beach, the dinners, the sunsets, the road trip back. By September the photos are scattered across every phone in the family, and nobody sees most of them again.
A Tru Photo Book gathers them into one A5 hardcover, printed on 200 gsm archival matte paper, which keeps the glare down on bright beach photos.
Summers and trips that make good books
- A Sahel summer
- The North Coast season, from the first weekend to the last: the beach, the compound, the friends, the late nights.
- El Gouna, Hurghada and the Red Sea
- A week by the sea, the boat trip, the diving, the lagoons.
- Dahab, Sharm and Sinai
- The mountains, the reef and the road there.
- A trip abroad
- A honeymoon, a family holiday or a trip with friends: one book per trip.
- The whole year
- Not one trip but every trip and outing of the year, month by month.
- A summer at a Tru booth
- Walked into a Tru booth on the North Coast? The strips belong in the book next to the beach photos.
Making a travel photobook
Collect everyone’s photos
One shared folder for the whole family, with original files rather than WhatsApp-forwarded copies.
Tell it by day or by place
A trip reads best day by day; a long summer reads well place by place or weekend by weekend.
Mix wide views and close-ups
Give a big landscape or sunset a full page, and group the small moments, the food, the details, four to a page.
Choose 26 or 50 pages
One trip often fits in 26 pages; a whole summer or a long trip is happier in 50.
Message us to order
We print and bind the book in Cairo and deliver it across Egypt, or you pick it up at a Tru booth.
Tips for beach and travel photos in print
- Bright beach photos print beautifully on matte paper; very dark night shots lose detail, so choose the clearest ones.
- Straighten the horizon before you send a sea photo: on a full page a tilted sea is the first thing you notice.
- Videos are not photos: if a moment only exists as a video, take a screenshot of the best frame only as a last resort, since it prints softer.
- Leave out the twenty near-identical sunsets and keep the best one.
- Write down where each set was taken; it helps keep the order of the book.
Travel photobook questions
Can I make a photobook from my phone photos from the beach?
Yes. Send the original files from the phones; bright, sharp photos print very well on matte paper.
How many pages for a summer photobook?
One trip often fits in 26 pages; a whole summer or a long trip suits 50. Extra pages can be added in blocks of four.
Can I combine photos from the whole family’s phones?
Yes. Gather them in one shared folder and send the originals; the book can mix everyone’s photos.
Do you deliver to the North Coast or the Red Sea?
Books are delivered across Egypt. Tell us your city when you order and we confirm delivery, or pick the book up at a Tru booth.
What size is the travel photobook?
A5 hardcover, 14.8 × 21 cm, with 26 or 50 pages of 200 gsm archival matte paper, printed and bound in Cairo.
