The Grand Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

Egypt: Journey into Egypt

20 October to 31 October 2026

There are so many wonders to behold in Egypt. With a fascinating history dating back to 3,000 BC, there are so many facets to life in ancient Egypt that you could dedicate a lifetime to uncovering its secrets. Well ahead of its time in the ancient world, the Egyptian civilization was one of the most advanced. See evidence of their remarkable achievements in architecture and design touring Giza with an Egyptologist and standing amid a forest of columns in Karnak, the largest temple complex known to the world. The saying ‘Egypt is the gift of the Nile’ still rings true today, with the mighty river a great way to discover the beauty of the landscapes from the waters that run through the length of the country. Take a luxury cruise and admire the awe-inspiring monuments studding the banks of the river where one of the oldest civilisations in the world first began. Today, a tour in Egypt is more than an immersion into past glories – mud-brick villages sprout TV antennae, stone and glass high-rises stand alongside ancient monuments and friendly locals welcome visitors with open arms.

If you chose Egypt only, or Egypt and Saudi Arabia, depart from Australia on 19 October 2026
