Egypt is a bucket-list destination for Australian travellers and pairs perfectly with a Gulf stopover or a wider Middle East and Europe adventure. There are no direct flights from Australia, but Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth all connect to Cairo with a single stop via Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Singapore — Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad and Singapore Airlines all offer smooth one-stop routings of roughly 19 to 22 hours. Australian passport holders can obtain an Egypt e-visa online before they fly or a visa on arrival.
Our Egypt tours from Australia are fully guided in English and combine the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, the temples of Luxor and Aswan and a Nile cruise into relaxed, well-paced itineraries. Given the long journey and the seven-to-nine-hour time difference, we recommend a slightly longer trip and an easy opening day so you arrive rested. Many Australians pair Egypt with Jordan, Dubai or a Nile cruise for a complete Middle East experience — you'll find those combinations below alongside classic and luxury options. The best time to visit is between October and April, when the weather is warm and ideal for sightseeing.
