Egypt in Two Weeks: The Grand Tour
Fourteen days is enough to go deep: Cairo, the full Nile, Abu Simbel, the Red Sea, and maybe Alexandria or the desert.
With two weeks you can stop choosing and start adding. A 14-day trip lets you cover the icons at a relaxed pace and weave in the places most visitors miss.
Week one: Cairo and the Nile
Spend three or four days in Cairo, including the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and a day at Saqqara and Dahshur. Then fly south for a full Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor, with Abu Simbel from Aswan.
Week two: coast, culture or desert
This is where two weeks shines. Add a relaxing stretch on the Red Sea for snorkelling and downtime, a day or two in Alexandria for a Mediterranean change of pace, or, for the adventurous, a desert escape to the White Desert or even Siwa Oasis.
Pacing it right
The luxury of fourteen days is space: rest days, slower mornings, and time to actually enjoy places rather than tick them off. Don't fill every slot; leave room to wander.
How to shape it
Because every trip we run is private and tailor-made, a grand tour like this is easy to build around what you love, whether that's history, beaches or desert. Browse our longer Egypt packages or, if you're tempted to add a neighbour, see our Egypt and Jordan guide.
