Trade the long flight from Australia for nine unforgettable days along the Nile — this Egypt guided tour takes you from the Great Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Aswan, a peaceful Dahabiya sail through Upper Egypt, and the tombs and temples of Luxor. It's a private journey (with an intimate small-group Dahabiya cruise) shaped for Australian travellers who want the wonders of ancient Egypt without the crowds or the planning stress. Your 9 day Egypt itinerary opens in Cairo with the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then flies you south to Aswan for the island Temple of Philae and the Unfinished Obelisk. From there you'll board a traditional Dahabiya — a small sailing vessel that reaches quiet moorings the big cruise ships can't — gliding past Kom Ombo, Edfu and Esna. In Luxor you'll explore the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and the vast Karnak and Luxor temples. There's even an optional early-morning excursion to the magnificent Abu Simbel. Because we know you've flown more than 20 hours to get here, your first day is kept relaxed, and every domestic flight, transfer, entrance fee and expert Egyptologist guide is arranged for you. You'll travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle, stay in hand-picked hotels, sail full-board on the Dahabiya, and enjoy meals throughout as listed. Why book with us? We've been crafting Egypt journeys since 1955, our team is available around the clock across Australian time zones, and every itinerary is tailor-made — so you can add nights, upgrade hotels or adjust the pace to suit you. No pressure, no obligation, and a price with no hidden extras. The best time to travel is during the Australian summer (Egypt's cooler, ideal season) — perfect for escaping the heat back home over the Christmas break. Ready to make it happen? Enquire now and we'll send you a tailor-made Egypt guided tour quote in AUD, with flexible dates and free cancellation options available.
