AKTG Sales Director NSW & NZ, Anoushka Kudav, has recently returned from Egypt; here she explores what you can expect on an Egyptian journey with A&K, and why now is the best time to go.
Abercrombie & Kent has had strong and sustained growth in demand for Egypt, reflecting “renewed global interest, long-term investment and growing confidence in the destination among luxury travellers”.
The luxury travel tour group says it has seen demand rising across the UK, US and Australian markets for those primarily seeking exclusive private travel, small-group journeys and high-end celebrations.
The reason for the surge in demand, it says, is partly due to the long-awaited opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum. Located beside the Giza Plateau, the museum is the largest in the world dedicated to a single civilisation and, for the first time, brings together the complete collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures.
A&K also offers a variety of tours in Egypt, from tailor-made journeys to small-group and small-jet journeys.
River cruising is also in high demand, and the Nile, where you can float past the temples of Luxor and Aswan, is an appealing option.
Set to be one of the most luxurious and spacious vessels on the Nile, A&K’s newest riverboat, Nile Seray, will make her debut in late 2026 and is now taking reservations.
Expect 32 expansive suites, all with Juliet balconies and private Jacuzzis, two high-end dining areas, a spa, gym, and a chic top deck with the feel of a private club, where you can lounge in canopied daybeds by the pool.
Every cruise also includes insider access to spectacular tombs in the West Bank: Queen Nefertari, Seti I, Ramses VI, and King Tutankhamun.
AKTG Sales Director NSW & NZ, Anoushka Kudav, who has just returned from a trip to Egypt aboard Nile Adventurer, says travelling with A&K made the journey feel effortless.
“From fast-track VIP service at arrivals to site visits and private docking for our Nile river boats in Luxor and Aswan, every touch point flowed smoothly – which makes a huge difference in a destination like Egypt.”
She says the fact that A&K operates through its own ground operations, not outsourcing to third parties, made the quality of guest experiences a standout.
“The quality of the Egyptologist guides is exceptional – they don’t just share facts; they bring the stories to life with years of experience behind them. A&K offers a visit to Abu Simbel as an inclusion rather than a value add – this is a MUST!”
And she says A&K’s Philanthropy program, Funtasia Cultural Centre in Luxor, supports local children through education and creativity programs, reflecting its long-term commitment to the communities it operates in and ensuring travellers can give back when they travel to the region.
“I can say with confidence there’s no better way to experience it than with Abercrombie & Kent.
“With more than 40 years of expertise in the region and our own local team on the ground, every detail is seamlessly orchestrated – from experienced Egyptologist-led tours, to sailing the Nile aboard our award-winning A&K Sanctuary riverboats, consistently recognised and featured by Conde Nast Traveller for its world-class design and experience.”
