How Many Days Do You Need in Egypt?

13 August 2026

Realistic itineraries for 4, 8, 10 and 14 days, and what you can comfortably see in each.

4 days

Cairo only: Giza pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Saqqara and old Cairo. A strong first taste without domestic flights.

Cairo plus a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. This is the classic Egypt trip and the one most travelers should choose.

Cairo, a Nile cruise, and either Abu Simbel or a few nights on the Red Sea.

Cairo, Alexandria, a full Nile cruise, Abu Simbel and the Red Sea, or a desert extension to Siwa and the White Desert.

Domestic flights need airport time at both ends.

Cruise embarkation and disembarkation days are half days.

Two temples in one afternoon is possible, but rarely enjoyable.
