Most visitors only see the surface of Egypt. However, a 15-day trip allows you to go much deeper.
First, you avoid the “temple fatigue” that ruins shorter trips. Because you have more time, we build in rest days at luxury resorts. Second, you can visit the Dendera and Abydos temples. These sites contain the best-preserved colors in the world, but they are too far for short tours. Finally, 15 days is the perfect length for a Dahabiya Nile Cruise. This is a traditional, small sailing ship that offers a private and quiet experience.
Your 15-day journey begins where the Nile meets the sea. This region showcases the power of the Old Kingdom and the influence of the Greeks and Romans.
You will start your tour at the Giza Plateau. You will stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Sphinx. However, your 15-day plan also includes Dahshur. Here, you will see the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. These sites are less crowded and provide a peaceful look at early architecture.
Next, you will travel to Alexandria and spend two days exploring this coastal city. You will visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which is a modern tribute to the ancient Great Library. You will also explore the Catacombs and the Citadel of Qaitbay. This city offers a refreshing Mediterranean atmosphere before you head into the desert.
After the north, you will fly to Aswan. This is where the landscape changes to golden sands and granite rocks.
In Aswan, you will board a boat to visit the Philae Temple. This temple is dedicated to the Goddess Isis. Because you have time, you will also visit the Nubian Museum. This museum explains the history of the people who have lived along the Nile for thousands of years. Of course, you will take a private trip to Abu Simbel to see the colossal statues of Ramses the Great.
Then, you will begin your cruise. Whether you choose a large ship or a private Dahabiya, the experience is magical. You will stop at the Temple of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to the crocodile god. You will also visit Edfu, the most complete temple in Egypt. As you sail, you can watch the sun set over the palm trees from the comfort of your balcony.
When you arrive in Luxor, you will spend three full days here. You will visit the Valley of the Kings, where King Tutankhamun was buried. You will also explore the Karnak Temple Complex. This is the largest religious site ever built. Because your tour is 15 days long, we also take you to the Valley of the Queens and the Tombs of the Nobles.
Every great adventure needs a relaxing finish. This is why we end your 15-day tour at the coast.
You will drive from Luxor to the Red Sea. You will spend three days in Hurghada. Here, you can enjoy world-class snorkeling or diving. You can also take a glass-bottom boat tour if you prefer to stay dry. The turquoise water and white sand are the perfect way to process everything you have seen.
Managing a 15-day trip requires local expertise. Here are our top tips.
