How Many Days Do You Need for Egypt from Canada?
A trip of 8 to 10 days suits a first visit and is enough for Cairo, Giza and a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. A 6 days tour is shorter and can still include Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. The table compares trip lengths for a first Egypt trip.
| Trip length | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 6 days | For example, Cairo, Luxor and Aswan | Travellers with limited time off |
| 8 to 10 days | Cairo, Giza, Luxor to Aswan cruise | First-time visitors |
| About 2 weeks | Egypt and Jordan together | Travellers wanting Egypt plus Jordan |
These lengths count your days on tour; the international flight from Canada is extra. Start with one of these package lengths:
- A week off: if you can take 7 days, browse the 7 days Egypt tour packages.
- A first visit: the 10 days Egypt tour packages sit at the top of the 8 to 10 days range suggested for a first trip.
What Does a Private Egypt Tour Include?
Alongside your Egyptologist guide and private car, a typical package includes:
- Hotels: 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels, chosen to match your budget and style.
- Meals: breakfast every day; other meals depend on the package, so ask us to confirm them for the one you choose.
- Entrance fees: included for the monuments on your route.
- Internal flights: on packages that use them, we book and coordinate the short internal flights between cities, such as Cairo to Luxor or Aswan to Abu Simbel.
- Airport transfers: included.
Do Canadians Need a Visa for Egypt?
Yes. Canadian citizens need an Egypt tourist visa, which costs $30 USD for a single 30-day stay. You can buy it on arrival or pre-register through the official e-Visa portal at visa2egypt.gov.eg, ideally at least 7 days before you fly. Check the portal for the latest entry rules before you book your flights.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Egypt from Canada?
October to April is the best window, when daytime temperatures are mild and comfortable for sightseeing. That window overlaps the Canadian winter, which makes Egypt a practical winter escape.
Add Jordan, a Nile Cruise or Beach Days on the Red Sea
You can add to your trip in 3 ways:
- Jordan: Egypt and Jordan combine well as a trip of about 2 weeks. See the Egypt and Jordan tour packages in one trip.
- Nile cruise: a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan takes 4 nights going south and 3 nights going north.
- Red Sea: ask for beach time at Hurghada and we build it into your itinerary.
