The Ultimate 14-Day Egypt Itinerary: Pyramids, Nile Cruise & The Red Sea

Two weeks is the "Goldilocks" duration for an Egypt trip. While a 7-day trip feels like a sprint, 14 days allows you to marathon through history without burning out. This itinerary hits the "Holy Trinity" of Egyptian travel: the urban chaos of Cairo, the ancient silence of the Nile Valley (via a 4-night cruise), and the turquoise relaxation of the Red Sea. By balancing the intensity of the temples with necessary downtime on the beach, this plan ensures you see the highlights—from King Tut to the Blue Hole—without needing a vacation from your vacation.
