7-Day Egypt Tours
Seven days is the most popular length for a first Egypt vacation – long enough to cover the three essential regions (Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan) without feeling rushed. A typical 7-day Egypt tour opens with two nights in Cairo for the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then flies south to Luxor for Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings, and connects to a 4-night Nile cruise that finishes in Aswan with Abu Simbel as a day excursion. Our private 7-day tours include a dedicated Egyptologist guide throughout, all internal flights, all temple admissions, and hotel stays in each city.

Practical questions
What travelers ask about this style of tour.
01Is 7 days enough to see Egypt?
Seven days is enough to see the highlights – Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and a Nile cruise – but not enough to go deep. You'll cover the Pyramids, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Abu Simbel, and the main Nile temples on a cruise. What you'll skip: Alexandria, Siwa Oasis, the White Desert, Dahab, and any unhurried exploration of a single site. For a first trip, 7 days is the right call; for a return visit, plan for 10–14.
02How much does a 7-day Egypt tour cost from the US?
Prices on this page currently start from $610 per person (7 days, two people sharing); each card shows its own from-price. Add 25–35% for Christmas, New Year, and US spring break weeks. International flights from the US are separate.
03Is a Nile cruise included on a 7-day Egypt tour?
Yes – the standard 7-day itinerary is Cairo → fly to Aswan → 3-night Nile cruise sailing north to Luxor (via Kom Ombo and Edfu) → Abu Simbel as a day excursion. Land-only 7-day variants exist (Cairo + Luxor hotels) but the cruise is the default for first-time visitors and what most clients book.
04When is the best time for a 7-day Egypt tour?
October through April. Daytime temperatures sit in the mid-70s°F to mid-80s°F, dry, low humidity. November to February is peak – Christmas and New Year sell out six months ahead. Spring break in March or April aligns with one of the best weather windows. We don't run 7-day southern itineraries in July or August by default – Aswan and Abu Simbel hit 105–115°F.
05Do I need a visa for a 7-day Egypt tour?
Yes for US passports. Easiest: the e-Visa (visa2egypt.gov.eg, $30, single entry, 3–5 business days). Or get a US$36 visa on arrival at the digital consoles in the immigration hall. Passport must be valid 6+ months beyond entry date. We include full visa guidance in your booking confirmation, and your Cairo desk planner walks you through the e-Visa form if it helps.
