Signature journeys
Start with one of our proven itineraries – every one is private and fully adjustable – or let us build yours from scratch.
Signature journeyCairo · Giza · Saqqara · Luxor · Esna · Edfu · Kom Ombo · Aswan · Abu Simbel · Cairo
Our signature private itinerary: four nights in Cairo for the pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum and Saqqara, a four-night five-star Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, then Abu Simbel and a slow final day in Aswan. It is the trip we recommend most to first-time visitors from Australia and New Zealand.
LuxuryCairo · Giza · Saqqara · Luxor · Dendera · Abydos · Edfu · Kom Ombo · Aswan · Abu Simbel
Fourteen unhurried days staying at Egypt's grand historic hotels, with one senior private Egyptologist who stays with you throughout and a four-night cruise on a small luxury ship. The extra time goes on experiences most tours skip: Nefertari's tomb, Dendera and Abydos, and private access arranged where it is available.
CruiseCairo · Giza · Luxor · Esna · El Kab · Edfu · Gebel el-Silsila · Kom Ombo · Aswan
A 10-day private trip built around five nights on a dahabiya, a traditional two-masted sailing boat with only a handful of cabins, from Esna to Aswan. Before you board, you see Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum and Luxor with your own Egyptologist.
CruiseCairo · Giza · Aswan · Abu Simbel · Kom Ombo · Edfu · Luxor · El Gouna · Cairo
Nine days of ancient Egypt (Cairo, Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Abu Simbel and a three-night Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise) followed by five nights on the Red Sea at El Gouna, with coral-reef snorkelling at the Giftun Islands. It is the best way to combine sightseeing and a real rest in one trip.
FamilyCairo · Giza · Aswan · Abu Simbel · Kom Ombo · Edfu · Luxor · Hurghada
A private 11-day Egypt tour planned around children aged roughly 6 to 16: shorter touring days, afternoons at the pool, and hands-on experiences such as a camel ride at Giza, a felucca sail, a Nubian village visit and Red Sea snorkelling. A family-friendly Egyptologist guide makes the history fun.
Short breakCairo · Giza · Luxor · Edfu · Kom Ombo · Aswan · Abu Simbel
A tightly planned private 8-day tour that covers Egypt's headline sights: the Giza pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor's temples and royal tombs, and Aswan with Abu Simbel. Domestic flights and road transfers are timed so you see the most with the least backtracking.

Why travel with Noble
A generalist agent books Egypt once in a while. We plan it every day – so we know which cruise boats are worth it, when to reach the Valley of the Kings before the coaches, and which guide will make your trip.
Specialist knowledge of every site, season, cruise ship and hotel – from Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum to Siwa and the White Desert.
University-qualified, licensed Egyptologists who bring 5,000 years of history to life – never a coach tour, never a crowd of strangers.
International flights, stopovers, internal flights, transfers, cruise and hotels – one itinerary, one booking, priced in Australian dollars.
Met at the aircraft door in Cairo, escorted through arrivals, and supported around the clock by our team on the ground until you fly home.
We sequence every day to beat the heat and the crowds – sunrise starts at the big sites, long lunches, golden-hour temples.
We recommend what’s best for you, not what’s easiest to sell. No hidden surprises – just clear, reliable guidance and a quote in Australian dollars.

Nile cruises & dahabiyas
A Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan is the heart of any Egypt trip – temples at Edfu and Kom Ombo by day, the river sliding past at sunset.
We know the fleet ship by ship: the genuinely five-star cruisers, the boutique ships with a handful of cabins, and the traditional sailing dahabiyas that moor at quiet islands the big boats can’t reach. We’ll match the boat, cabin and sailing date to you – and add a private Egyptologist on board.
New for Egypt travel
The world’s largest museum devoted to a single civilisation opened fully in November 2025, beside the Pyramids of Giza.
For the first time, Tutankhamun’s entire collection is displayed together, alongside Khufu’s 4,500-year-old solar boat and the colossal statue of Ramesses II in the atrium. We build in the time it deserves – with an Egyptologist who knows the galleries – and pair it with the Pyramids for an unforgettable day.

With 14 days or more you can add the Red Sea, Alexandria or the Western Desert. See our sample Egypt itineraries.
October to April is the best time to visit Egypt, with warm, dry days of roughly 20–30°C in Luxor and Aswan. December and January are the busiest months. Spring (March–April) and autumn (October–November) offer the best balance of weather and crowds. Read the month-by-month guide.
