Seven days is the point at which an Egypt trip transitions from efficient to genuinely comfortable.

The five-day version covers the essential sites. The seven-day version covers them with depth — an extra day in Luxor means the West Bank and East Bank are not competing for the same afternoon, an extra day in Cairo means Saqqara is a real option rather than a rushed addition, and the overall pace shifts from purposeful to pleasurable.

This is the itinerary we recommend most often to first-time travelers who ask what length of trip gives the best experience-to-time ratio. Seven days.

Who This Package Is For

• Travelers who want to visit Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan but cannot extend beyond five days
• First-time visitors who want a complete introduction to Egypt — ancient monuments, royal tombs, and Nile temple sites
• Those who have been told five days is not enough and want to know if that is true — it is enough for this specific itinerary, planned correctly

Common Questions

Can I swap the Abydos/Dendera option in on Day 5?

 Yes — if the East Bank in Luxor interests you less than Abydos, we can build the Abydos day trip in place of or alongside Karnak. Tell us your interests when booking, and we will sequence accordingly. Note: Abydos is a full day from Luxor — substituting it means the Luxor East Bank sites move to a half-day.

Is everything private or will I be with other groups?

All tours and transfers are private — your group only. Hotels are individual bookings. Nile cruise ships are shared vessels but your cabin is private and your guide time is private.

Can the itinerary be adjusted?

Yes — multi-day packages are built on a framework, not a fixed script. Sites can be resequenced, pacing adjusted, and optional additions discussed before departure. Tell us what matters most when booking.

What is not included in the package price?

International flights, travel insurance, personal expenses, tips, and anything listed as optional or premium in the itinerary. No hidden costs — everything included is clearly listed.
