Why go long

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 arc

How two weeks actually flows

The full arc — compressed to 10 days by trimming the desert or Alexandria, stretched to your exact dates.

1–3

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.

5–9

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.

10–11

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.

12–14

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.

★★★★★

"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."

Answers

10–14 day Egypt tours — questions & answers

What can you see in 10–14 days in Egypt?

The complete country: Cairo in depth (Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Islamic Cairo, Saqqara — 3 days), an Alexandria day trip, a 5–7-night Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan (Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae), Abu Simbel by flight, and a 2–3-day extension — the White Desert or a Red Sea finale, or both at 14 days.

What is the best 14-day Egypt itinerary?

Our most popular arc: Days 1–3 Cairo, Day 4 Alexandria, Day 5 fly to Luxor and visit Karnak, Days 5–11 a 7-night Nile cruise with Abu Simbel, Days 12–13 the White Desert safari with overnight camping, Day 14 return via Cairo — or swap the desert for three Red Sea days in Hurghada.

What is the White Desert — and is it worth adding?

One of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth: chalk formations sculpted by wind into abstract shapes, in Egypt’s Western Desert 4–5 hours from Cairo, with overnight camping under a completely unpolluted sky. It needs 2 days minimum — and travellers consistently name it the surprise highlight of the trip.

Should I add the Red Sea to a 14-day tour?

Yes — it’s the perfect conclusion. Three days in Hurghada after the Nile circuit is a complete change of register: world-class reef snorkelling, a desert 4x4 at sunset, and genuine rest before the flight home. Hurghada is 3–4 hours from Luxor by road, so it slots naturally after disembarking.

Is a private guide worth it for a two-week tour?

On a long trip, private guiding compounds: by the second week your consultant and guides know your interests, your questions and your pace, and the commentary builds instead of resetting. Ministry-licensed local guides handle the sites, and one consultant — usually Maro Saeed — stays your single thread from first message to departure.

How much does a 14-day Egypt tour cost?

Private 10–14 day complete Egypt tours start from $1,680 per person — including your Ministry-licensed local guide throughout, 4-star hotels, a 5–7-night full-board Nile cruise, all domestic flights, the Abu Simbel flight excursion and all entrance fees, itemised line by line.

What is included in a 10–14 day package?

A Ministry-licensed local guide for the entire duration, 4-star Cairo hotels, the Alexandria day trip, a 5–7-night full-board Nile cruise, all domestic flights (Cairo–Luxor and Aswan–Cairo), the Abu Simbel day trip by flight, all monument entrance fees, and 24/7 WhatsApp support. International flights are the only thing you book yourself.

Can I add the White Desert to any itinerary?

Yes — it works as a 2-day extension (1 night camping) on any Cairo-based itinerary: drive to Bahariya Oasis (4–5 hours) visiting the Black Desert and Crystal Mountain en route, camp among the chalk formations, and return the next afternoon. Full-service camping — tents, bedding and Bedouin cooking included.

Who plans your trip: every extended itinerary is designed by our Cairo team led by Maro Saeed, Tour Consultant & Travel Advisor — one contact across all fourteen days, and every country if you combine.
