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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Having been born into an aviation family, I was always destined to become a passionate traveller, and have a lifelong fascination for aviation, airports, and exploring new destinations.
Travel is in my blood, and my love for my job shines through, going above and beyond for my clients to ensure their needs are met with warmth, kindness, and an attentive ear.
With a diverse background in the travel industry, my vast experience started with corporate travel for blue chip New Zealand companies, followed by a never-ending OE in London and Sydney in the Music & Film industry looking after global superstars and celebrities. Now back home in the Bay, I’m helping travellers with their holidays, corporate customers heading away for business, and specialising in group travel - whether travelling for sports, education, weddings, conferences, or events. I’m experienced in catering to a wide range of travel preferences and needs.
Whether you're planning a budget-friendly adventure or a luxurious getaway, I’ve tried it all, from economy to first class, I’ve even chartered private jets! I have great first-hand knowledge and I’m eager to share it with you to create a trip full of unforgettable experiences for you.
Nice to meet you! I love traveling with my husband, whether it's hiking the Camino de Santiago, biking through Latvia, or relaxing on beach holidays in places like Greece and Fiji. Recent highlights include cruising Norway and exploring Puglia, Italy—though I’m always guilty of overpacking!
