An 11-day Egypt itinerary is the most complete way to see the country. It is longer than the standard week-long trip. This extra time allows you to move beyond the famous Pyramids. In 2026, 11 days is the top choice for travelers who want to see the Nile Valley plus a second major region like the Red Sea or the Mediterranean Coast. At Egypt Fun Tours, we use these 11 days to create a “no-rush” experience. You will see the world-famous sites. But you will also discover hidden temples that most tourists miss.

11 days gives you the freedom to customize your trip.
The “Triple Crown”: You can visit Cairo, the Nile, and the beach in one trip.
Hidden History: You have time for the temples of Abydos and Dendera. These have the most colorful carvings in Egypt.
Ultimate Relaxation: You don’t have to fly every day. You can spend 3 full days by the Red Sea to recharge.
This is our #1 seller for 2026.
Perfect for those who love Greco-Roman history.
For the adventurous traveler.
To maintain authority, we share these 2026 travel secrets.
Many people think you must fly to the beach. In an 11-day tour, we recommend a private car from Luxor to Hurghada. It takes about 4 hours. You see the beautiful Eastern Desert mountains along the way.
With 11 days, you have time to see Saqqara and Memphis. Most short tours skip this. But Saqqara is home to the Step Pyramid, the oldest stone building in history. It is essential for understanding the Giza Pyramids.
It is enough for the “Grand Highlights.” You can see the Nile, Cairo, and the Red Sea. You would need 15 days to add the Siwa Oasis or Mount Sinai.
No. The standard tourist visa is valid for 30 days. You can get it at the airport for $25 USD.
Most of our guests say yes! The 11-day plan usually includes a 4-night cruise. This is the best way to see the rural side of Egypt.

In April 2011, my husband and I, after great debate, took a trip to Egypt. Because of the political situation, we decided to book a tour for our time in Cairo and Luxor. We are very happy that we did, since these are two cities that should not be missed.
I had waited 60 years to get to Egypt; in fact, it was my 60th birthday gift to myself. I went with my oldest daughter, and the experience was excellent. It was meticulously planned by the tour company and was designed for me and my daughter. I never had a
We first went to Egypt in July 2010. We were to pass through Cairo on our way to Africa, and we had arranged to be picked up from the Cairo airport and shown around the city during our 6-hour layover. This was arranged through emails with Hamada, of Egypt Fun
After a rocky start (the driver had been in an accident on his way to pick me up,) the company very quickly sent another driver/guide named Mohammed, who was a real pro. Thoroughly enjoyed my first day in Egypt!
Our US-based agency takes small groups of experienced travelers to the most beautiful and exotic places in the world. In Dec ’19 – Jan ’20, we used the services of Egypt Fun Tours to plan, organize, and conduct an amazing trip to Cairo, Giza, Saqqara, Luxor, and Aswan. The New
I am tempted to say “my friend Hani” runs an amazing service, because that is how he makes you feel. I first went on the 9-hour layover tour in summer 2011. Hani and driver picked me up at the airport at 3am, and by the time I left at noon
My friend and I took a layover tour with Egypt Fun Tours on June 13, 2012, while awaiting our connecting flight to Dubai. If you email them at one of the email addresses found on their website, www.egyptfuntours.com, they respond within a day. Let them know what you want to
Great trip organised. I had a 12-hour layover in Cairo and had a great time with Sherif, who answered every question I had on ancient Egypt. Highly recommend.
I had a really short layover in Cairo and didn’t want to be stuck in the Cairo Airport for several hours. It was like Mission Impossible: Egypt Fun Tours’ mission was to show me around Cairo during my short 5 hour layover which was made even shorter because my plane
My friend and I planned a whirlwind trip to Dubai, the Dead Sea, Petra, Cairo, Luxor, and Sharm el Sheikh for early November 2011 – 6 cities in 10 days! We allotted one afternoon and evening for Cairo, and we wanted to see as much as we could! We drove
