What makes this trip

14 Day Private Egypt Trip

Trade the long flight from Australia for a fortnight along the Nile — this private Egypt trip takes you from the Great Pyramids of Giza to Mediterranean Alexandria, the war memorials of El Alamein, and a traditional Dahabiya sail through the quiet southern Nile, finishing at the colossal temples of Abu Simbel. It's a private journey (with a small-group Dahabiya cruise) built for Australian travellers who want to see Egypt slowly and properly, in comfort and away from the crowds.

This 14-day Egypt holiday package opens in Cairo with the Pyramids, the Sphinx, Saqqara and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then heads to Alexandria for its catacombs, Pompey's Pillar and the modern Library. You'll pause at El Alamein — a place of real meaning for Australian visitors, where the Commonwealth Cemetery honours those who fell in the North African campaign — before flying to Luxor for Karnak, Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings. From there your Dahabiya glides through spots the big ships never reach — El Kab, Gebel El Silsila, Edfu and Kom Ombo — followed by Abu Simbel, the Temple of Philae, and a memorable high tea at Aswan's legendary Old Cataract Hotel.
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 with free Wi-Fi, 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 — add nights, upgrade hotels or adjust the pace to suit you. No pressure, no obligation, and a price with no hidden extras.
