With twelve days in Egypt, you can combine the country’s headline sights with slower stretches on the Nile and the Red Sea without feeling rushed. Many itineraries focus on Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, linking Giza, Saqqara, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings with a Nile cruise and a few days in Hurghada.

Others place more emphasis on time by the water, pairing boutique cruises with Red Sea bases such as Sharm El Sheikh for snorkeling, desert excursions, and relaxed resort days.

Every Egypt itinerary you see here is created by on-the-ground specialists, not pulled from a brochure. Our Egypt travel experts design these trips as flexible examples you can adjust to fit your dates, budget, pace, and interests.
