Other personal expenses during your trip may include:
Yes, Australian passport holders require a visa for Egypt. The easiest and most common method is to obtain visa upon arrival in Egypt. You can also obtain a single-entry e-Visa online before you travel via the official government portal. It’s straightforward, avoids queues on arrival, and is valid for tourism.
Book you online visa on this official website: Egypt Online Visa Portal
There are no direct commercial flights from Australia to Egypt. The most common and efficient routes have one stop in the Middle East:
Via Doha (Qatar Airways)
Via Dubai (Emirates)
Via Abu Dhabi (Etihad Airways)
Total travel time is typically 18-22 hours depending on your Australian departure city and layover.
Peak Season (Oct-April): This is the Australian summer/spring. Weather in Egypt is ideal – warm days, cool nights. It’s also the busiest and most expensive time.
Shoulder Months (May, Sept, early Oct): Still very good weather, slightly fewer crowds, and potentially better prices. May can start to get hot.
Low Season (June-Aug): Coincides with the Australian winter. It is extremely hot in Upper Egypt (Luxor, Aswan), but cruise and tour prices are at their lowest. If you handle heat well, it can offer great value.
Given the long flight, a trip of 10 to 14 days is highly recommended to make the journey worthwhile. A classic 10-12 day tour typically covers:
Cairo (Pyramids, Grand Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo)
A Nile Cruise (Luxor to Aswan, 3-4 nights)
Possibly an extension to Alexandria, Abu Simbel, or the Red Sea (Hurghada/Sharm El-Sheikh) for relaxation.
Egypt Best Vacations offers a wide a range of tour packages for the Australian tourists. They’re ranging from 4 days to 15 days covering the wonders of Egypt with a Nile cruise and Red Sea beaches.
This is the #1 concern. The consensus from the Australian government’s Smart Traveller advice and tour operators is that major tourist areas are generally safe. The advice is to:
Egypt Best Vacations confirms that Egypt is a safe and welcoming destination for Australian travelers. We are fully committed to your security and peace of mind throughout your journey. We take every measure to safeguard you during your trip.
Group Tour: More affordable, social, fixed itinerary and dates. Ideal for solo travelers, couples, or those who want a structured experience.
Private Tour: More expensive, but fully customizable (pace, interests, dates), offers flexibility and personalized attention. Great for families, photographers, or special interest groups.
Many Australians opt for small-group tours (max 16 people) for a balance of value and experience.
Egypt is conservative but used to tourists. The key is modesty and comfort:
For Men & Women: Light, loose, breathable clothing covering shoulders and knees is respectful, especially outside resorts and in local areas.
At Historical Sites: Comfortable walking shoes, hat, and sunglasses are non-negotiable.
On a Nile Cruise: Resort-style wear is fine on board; cover up when going ashore.
In Mosques: Women will need to cover their hair (a scarf suffices).
“Pharaoh’s Revenge” is a common worry.
Water: Do not drink the tap water. Only drink bottled or filtered water. Egypt Best Vacations will provide you water during the tours.
Food: Eat at reputable places recommended by your guide. Avoid salads that may have been washed in tap water and unpeeled fruit from street stalls. Cooked food is generally safe.
Precautions: Pack a good travel medical kit including electrolytes (Hydralyte), diarrhoea medicine, and hand sanitizer.
This is CRUCIAL. Given the cost and distance, comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory. Ensure it covers:
Medical evacuation (the most important).
Trip cancellation/interruption (due to unforeseen events in Australia or Egypt).
Activities you plan to do (e.g., hot air ballooning in Luxor).
Declare any pre-existing medical conditions.
Egypt Best Vacations does Not provide a travel insurance, so, we recommend to buy it beforehand.
Buy a local SIM card at the airport (Vodafone Egypt, Orange, Etisalat) – data is cheap and reliable.
Alternatively, activate your Australian provider’s roaming plan, but this is often more expensive.
Most hotels and Nile cruises have Wi-Fi, but it can be slow.
