10–14 day Egypt tours — the complete country, once, properly
Cairo, Alexandria, an extended Nile cruise, the White Desert and the Red Sea — the complete country in two weeks, on 100% private tours with a Ministry-licensed local guide.
Two weeks changes what kind of trip this is
At 10–14 days, Egypt stops being a checklist and becomes a journey. Cairo gets its full three days. The Nile cruise stretches to 5–7 nights — slow mornings on deck, temples without a stopwatch. Abu Simbel is a given, not a stretch. And two landscapes most visitors never see enter the plan: the White Desert’s chalk formations under an unpolluted night sky, and the Red Sea reef as the finale.
Everything is 100% private with Ministry-licensed local guides, and the pacing is the point: by the second week, the trip is genuinely personalised — your consultant knows your interests, your questions, your rhythm, and shapes the remaining days around them.
The tours below include the great combinations too — Egypt with Jordan, Dubai, or Turkey — for travellers making one long journey of it.
“The 14-day guests are the ones who email me a year later. Not because they saw more — because somewhere around day nine, Egypt stopped being a destination and started being familiar.”

The full arc — compressed to 10 days by trimming the desert or Alexandria, stretched to your exact dates.
Cairo in full depth
Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum (Day 1), Islamic Cairo and the Coptic Quarter (Day 2), Saqqara’s Step Pyramid and Memphis (Day 3) — three days let your licensed guide go deep at every site instead of rushing.
Alexandria day trip
Qaitbay Citadel on the site of the ancient Pharos Lighthouse, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa — and seafood lunch on the Mediterranean Corniche.
Extended 5–7-night Nile cruise
Fly to Luxor and sail: Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo — then Aswan (felucca, Nubian Village, Philae) and the Abu Simbel day trip by flight.
White Desert safari
Through Bahariya Oasis, the volcanic Black Desert and Crystal Mountain — then overnight camping among wind-sculpted chalk formations, under a completely unpolluted sky.
Red Sea finale
Snorkelling at Orange Bay in the Giftun Islands, an Eastern Desert 4x4 at sunset, and genuine beach recovery before flying home. After two weeks of monuments, the contrast is extraordinary.
What a 10–14 day package includes
Two-week trips are where month choice matters most — shoulder-season savings of 20–30% compound across 14 nights.
The levers on a two-week trip
White Desert
A 2-day, 1-night camping extension from Cairo via Bahariya — Black Desert and Crystal Mountain en route. Addable to any Cairo-based itinerary.
Red Sea finale
3 days in Hurghada after the Nile circuit — Orange Bay snorkelling, a sunset 4x4, and real rest. The perfect conclusion.
Second country
Jordan (Petra + Wadi Rum), Dubai, or Turkey (Istanbul + Cappadocia) — budget 4+ extra nights per country.
Cruise upgrades
Stretch to the full 7-night sailing, step up to 5★, or switch to a 6–12-guest dahabiya houseboat.

What our guests say about traveling local
Genuine reviews from real travelers on our multi-day tours and Nile cruises. Egypt Tours by Locals is operated by Egypt Planners — a licensed operator building complete Egypt travel packages, not just day trips.
"Our guide didn't just show us the Pyramids — she made us feel what it meant to build them. The private morning at the Grand Egyptian Museum with no crowds was extraordinary. A truly local experience, not a tourist conveyor belt."
"Our consultant knew every guard, every way around the crowds, and told us stories not in any guidebook. We've done tours in 30 countries. This was the most engaged we've ever been."
"They designed our entire 12-day itinerary personally, then guided us through every day. As history enthusiasts we had very specific requests — they exceeded every one. Their knowledge of Nubian culture in Aswan was extraordinary."
