14 Days Trip to the Best of Egypt
Overview
This magnificent 14-day tour offers an unforgettable adventure across Egypt featuring some of the most iconic ancient sites.
This 14-day tour spans Cairo, a Red Sea stay in Hurghada, and a Nile cruise through Luxor and Aswan, combining ancient monuments with beach and dive time and a full temple-and-tomb circuit along the river.
The trip opens in Cairo with a welcome Nile dinner cruise, followed by the Giza Pyramids Complex, the Sphinx, Saqqara's Step Pyramid, and ancient Memphis before flying to Hurghada for four nights that include free beach time, an optional scuba diving excursion among the coral reefs, and a desert quad-bike trip with a barbecue under the stars.
The group then boards a deluxe Nile cruise in Luxor, visiting Karnak Temple and an illuminated evening at Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, and Hatshepsut's temple on the West Bank, Edfu Temple by horse-drawn carriage, Kom Ombo's double-deity temple, Aswan's High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and Philae Temple, plus an early excursion to Abu Simbel's rock-cut temples, before flying back to Cairo for a final city tour covering the Grand Egyptian Museum, a mosque, a church, and a synagogue, and the Citadel with the Mohammed Ali Mosque.
The package includes flight tickets between Cairo, Hurghada, and Aswan, four nights in an all-inclusive Hurghada hotel, five nights on a bed-and-breakfast basis in Cairo, four nights on a full-board Nile cruise, airport transfers and transportation throughout, guided tours to all listed sites, and meals as mentioned in the itinerary; international flights, the Egypt entry visa, entrance fees to sites, tipping, personal expenses, and optional tours not listed are not included.
This itinerary suits travelers who want to balance Egypt's ancient-history circuit with several unstructured beach and activity days on the Red Sea rather than a purely sightseeing-focused two weeks.
