Welcome to Spirit of Egypt Tours - Let us give you the best experience for your hard-earned money
Budget travel and tours Egypt from Australia - Direct
To keep our prices low, we only offer two choices of itinerary, but you can be sure that it will encompass more than you ever dreamed possible in 14 days.
Why not take a third week just to relax western-style if you want, swim,sunbake, shop, or just dine with the locals. You could stay longer on a farm in an oasis or village, enjoy the lush green farm life with all its beautiful healthy animals & birds and the contrast of the surrounding desert. Or stay in Alexandria by the beach near the famous library.
After 14 days on our tour, you will know exactly where you would like to spend an extra week, while you're so far from home.

Testimonials
"I'm so grateful that I spoke with Colleen before I went ahead and booked a tour. I would never have known how magnificent the White Desert is or that there are even waterfalls in the desert. Not to mention the lovely people we met at Baharya Oasis. I thought an oasis was a small pond, but this place supports 35,000 people! And the pyramids in places you least expect and the many temples - wow. Thanks heaps Colleen."
Samara Millar (Perth, WA)
"I'm glad I found out about Spirit of Egypt Tours before I booked through a bigger company. Because I was a little afraid of going to a Muslim country (but I wanted to meet the people not just see the sites), I didnt realise I had a better option until my friend Tarah did your tour. She told me how safe it is there too, not like you think from TV and other stories. She was right. Also, my souvenirs didnt cost anywhere near as much as other tourists paid, thanks to Abdul. He was so good at bartering, sometimes even shouting, but he was the life of the party."

Talaat Harb Square, Downtown Cairo
Shop til you drop at the many modern boutiques where you'll find state of the art designs in clothing & shoes very unique and cheap.
Not Included:
Personal travel insurance
You can easily purchase this online at competitive prices or through your own prefered agency. Overseas travel insurance is offered by many reputable organisations in Australia.
Tourist Visa
You can purchase your own Visa in Australia through various means online and some banks. There is a facility provided at Cairo Airport for tourists to purchase their Visa upon entry and at a greatly reduced price, however I wouldnt recommend this on your first trip just in case you do have a problem with entry. I can assist you with contact information if you need, for the Egyptian Embassy in Sydney so you can arrange your visa well in advance of your departure. This is the most reliable and cheapest way from within Australia.
