How Many Days Do You Need in Egypt from Australia?

After a long journey, a longer stay gives Cairo, the Nile and the coast each their own days. Here is what each length covers and who it suits:

One of the 10 days Egypt tour packages combines Cairo, Upper Egypt temples and time at Hurghada. For 12 to 14 days, we plan the route with you.

Our guide explains how many days you need in Egypt in more depth.

Which Egypt Tour Packages from Australia Fit Your Trip?

The main choice in an Egypt holiday package from Australia is how you split your days between Cairo, the Nile and the Red Sea. This table compares 3 routes:

The Nile and Red Sea routes both use a domestic flight from Cairo. These 2 packages show the routes in practice, and the last point explains the cruise nights:

• Nile route: the 6 days Cairo and Nile cruise holiday from Aswan to Luxor has 2 nights in Cairo, 1 before and 1 after a 3 nights Nile cruise, with domestic flights between the stops.
• Red Sea route: the 7 days Cairo and Hurghada package pairs Cairo's monuments with unhurried days at a Hurghada resort, linked by a domestic flight.
• Cruise nights: a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan runs 4 nights, and the Aswan-to-Luxor direction takes 3 nights.

Every published itinerary is a starting point, so we can stretch a route into a tailor-made Egypt trip with extra nights.

What Does a Private Egypt Package Include?

Your package covers the Egypt side of the trip: guiding, transport, hotels and entrance fees. A licensed, government-certified Egyptologist leads every tour. You can also browse Egypt tours with your own guide and car.

A typical package includes these items, plus a Nile cruise on routes that have one:

• Guide and driver: your Egyptologist, a private driver and an air-conditioned car.
• Hotels: accommodation with daily breakfast.
• Entrance fees: included for the sites in your itinerary.
• Transfers and flights: airport transfers, plus domestic flights or train tickets on most routes.

How Do You Fly to Egypt from Australia?

Travel Joy Egypt does not sell international flights, so you book your own from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth to Cairo. Flights from any of them usually have one stop, through a Gulf or Asian hub. Settle the number of days first, then book flights that land you in Cairo when the programme starts.

Best Time to Visit Egypt from Australia

October to April is the best window, with mild daytime temperatures for touring Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. December to February is peak season and falls in the Australian summer. Peak season brings the heaviest crowds at the Pyramids and on Nile cruise routes. October, November, March and April are quieter.

Our guide sets out the best time to visit Egypt month by month.
