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.

Last year (2010) my wife and I did a 20 day trip in Egypt, mostly Do-It-Yourself. However, one of the first things we did was a trip to Bahariya oasis and to the White Desert — not so easy to do yourself, so we needed an agency. After e-mail back-and-forths
