A 14 day Egypt tour gives you time for the full ancient route, Cairo, Luxor, a Nile cruise and Aswan, and then several days of rest on the Red Sea, without early starts every morning. We publish two fixed two-week programs, both luxury and both ending in Sharm El Sheikh. For a two-week trip at another budget or with a different shape, we extend one of our 10 or 11 day tours through our tailor-made service.

This page compares the two programs, explains how the fourteen days are used, and shows honestly how to build a 2 week Egypt tour from a shorter package. For general itinerary ideas rather than bookable tours, see our Egypt travel guide.

How the Two Weeks Are Used

Royal Egypt Tour

The first nine days are full sightseeing and the last four nights are almost entirely free. You start with three nights at the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza, with Giza and Saqqara on one day and the Grand Egyptian Museum and Khan El Khalili on the next. A night at the Hilton Luxor Resort lets you see Luxor Temple in the evening before the cruise. The MayFair then sails four nights from Luxor to Aswan, with the West Bank, Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae visited along the way. In Aswan you stay at the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract and fly to Abu Simbel, then continue to the Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh for the beach. This is the two week luxury Egypt holiday for travelers who want the classic sites at a five-star level and a proper rest before going home.

A Family Egyptian Adventure

This program swaps the big cruise ship for a dahabiya, a traditional two-masted sailing boat carrying only a handful of cabins. Its size lets the crew tie up beside river islands for the night and pull in at the sandstone quarries of Gebel Silsileh, and the river days mix temple visits with swim stops and village walks. Cairo and Luxor come first, and Sharm El Sheikh comes last. It is built for families whose children need breaks between monuments, but it suits any traveler who wants a quieter river. Our dahabiya Nile cruise page explains this style of sailing, and our Egypt family tours page lists shorter options for families.

Is There a 12 Day Egypt Tour?

Not as a fixed package. Between our 11 day Timeless Egypt and the two 14 day programs we do not publish a 12 or 13 day tour, and we would rather say so than invent one. A 12 day trip is easy to arrange, though: take a 10 or 11 day tour and add one or two nights where you want them. The same method gives you two weeks at budget or classic level, since both fixed 14 day programs are luxury.

Building Two Weeks From a 10 or 11 Day Tour

These are the tours most often used as a base, with their published price and what each one leaves room for. The extension is quoted separately through our tailor-made tours service, because the cost depends on the hotels and dates you choose.

Base tour	Level	Already includes	Natural additions for two weeks	Base price, double, Oct–Apr
Cheops, 10 days	Budget	4-night La Sara cruise, Abu Simbel, sleeper trains	Red Sea nights, Alexandria	$1,260
Romantic Nile, 10 days	Classic	4-night Le Fayan cruise, Abu Simbel, sleeper trains	Red Sea nights, Alexandria	$1,626
Nile Legend, 10 days	Classic	3-night Le Fayan cruise, Hurghada	More beach nights, Abu Simbel, Alexandria	$1,410
Sun Ray, 10 days	Luxury	4-night MS May Flower cruise, Abu Simbel, flights	Red Sea nights, Alexandria	$3,965
Ptolemy, 10 days	Luxury	3-night MS Mayflower cruise, Alexandria, flights	Abu Simbel, Red Sea nights	$3,390
Timeless Egypt, 11 days	Luxury	Hotels in Luxor and Aswan, no cruise, flights	Red Sea nights, Abu Simbel	$4,800 (starting price)

Our 10 day Egypt tours page compares all fifteen base tours in detail.

Which Two Weeks in Egypt Suit You

Couples or a milestone trip at five-star level: the Royal Egypt Tour, with its Four Seasons and Old Cataract stays. Our luxury Egypt tours page shows the shorter alternatives.
Families with children, or anyone who wants a quiet river: A Family Egyptian Adventure, for the dahabiya and the swim stops.
Travelers on a classic or budget plan: Romantic Nile, Cheops or Nile Legend extended with beach nights, which keeps the sleeper trains and the lower base price.
Travelers who prefer hotels to cabins: Timeless Egypt with extra nights on the coast.
Divers and snorkelers: any of the above with more Red Sea nights. Our Egypt and Red Sea tours page compares every beach combination.

What You Can Add Over Two Weeks

Two weeks leave space for sights that shorter trips skip. A day trip to Dendara and Abydos from Luxor adds two temples north of the usual circuit. A hot air balloon flight over the West Bank needs only one early morning. An extra night in Luxor or Aswan slows the pace, and a guided day in Alexandria adds the Greco-Roman city to the pharaonic story.

Timing can also shape a long trip. The sun shines directly into the inner sanctuary of Abu Simbel on 22 February and 22 October each year, and with two weeks it is easier to plan the route so you are in Aswan for one of those mornings. Our Abu Simbel guide covers the temples, and the best season to visit Egypt explains the weather month by month.

Booking a Two Week Egypt Tour Package

All our tours are private: your guide and vehicle are yours alone, and only the ship or hotel is shared with other guests. Delta Tours Egypt is a family-run company based in Cairo, arranging travel in Egypt since 1974, and our team is on WhatsApp throughout your trip. If two weeks is more than you can take, our 7 day Egypt tours cover the essentials in a week.

Tell us your dates, your budget and how many days you want by the sea, and we will send either the right fixed program or an extended version of a shorter one. Start your plan with a tailor-made Egypt tour.
