Egypt

Pyramids, pharaohs and pinch-me moments

Safari Desert Egypt

A land of ancient wonders and stunning landscapes

Egypt is a bucket list destination for so many of us – who didn’t grow up with images of pyramids and the Sphinx etched into our memories from storybooks and movies?

The only trouble is figuring out how to fit it all in.

Of course, you’ll want to explore ancient treasures like the Great Pyramids and the bustling mosques and bazaars of Cairo. Then there’s Luxor – the world’s greatest open-air museum – home to jaw-dropping sites like the Temple of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings.

But don’t stop there. Marsa Alam is a diver’s dream, with pristine reefs and crystal-clear waters, while Aswan offers serene Nile-side beauty and a glimpse into Nubian culture. Or unwind on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, where luxury resorts and golden beaches offer pure relaxation.

This is a land where anything feels possible – a place of stories, colour and unforgettable moments. The memories you’ll make here? Pure magic.

Chat to our Egypt specialists and start planning that bucket list trip today.

Flight time

The flight from Auckland to Egypt takes roughly 23.5 hours with a stopover, but it's worth a long flight to see so many ancient wonders.

Best time to go

Winter in Egypt brings crowds to beaches, pyramids, and Nile cruises, but only the bravest try and endure the heat in July and August. For fewer crowds and pleasant weather, March, April and October are great.

Time difference

Egypt is 10–11 hours behind New Zealand depending on daylight saving in both countries. Hopefully the distraction of incredible sights will help with the jet lag.

With 12 years in the travel industry and young kids of my own, I genuinely understand how much effort (and emotion!) goes into planning the perfect family holiday. 

I specialise in creating trips that work in real life- with smart flight times, family-friendly stays, and experiences that keep everyone happy, from toddlers to teens (and parents too). 

I'm here to listen, ask the right questions, and take the stress off your shoulders, so you can focus on making memories instead of managing the logistics.
