Egypt Itineraries Starting in Cairo

Suggested Egypt Itineraries: 2 - 3 Weeks

Upper Egypt and Sinai Adventure

(Cairo – Aswan – Luxor – Dahab – Saint Catherine – Cairo)

Spend the first two days in Cairo (see full Cairo Itinerary) visiting the Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum and the markets before taking an overnight train south to Aswan, and then working your way back north.

Spend one day in Aswan enjoying the river Nile and its surrounding by sail boat and depending on the tightness of your schedule and budget spend a second day making the trip south to Abu Simbel.

On Day four/five you can relocate to Luxor where the majority of Pharoahnic monuments are located (Valley of the Kings/Queens, Karnack, Hatchetsup etc) and stay for two days.

From Luxor you can take a bus to Hurghada to catch the ferry to Sinai. The ferry brings you to Sharm El Sheikh (1.5hours) where you can stay, or head north to less developed resorts like Dahab (1 hour bus/tax) and Nuweiba (2 hours)

It’s a long day of travel but the rewards are great. You can enjoy the all the wonders that the rugged Sinai peninsular has to offer including diving, snorkelling, trekking, and camping to mention but a few.

After two or three days in Dahab you can take a bus to Saint Catherine to visit the monastery and climb the sacred mountain.

Once you have recovered, an overnight bus journey will return you to Cairo in time to catch the flight home. If you have time to spare, an afternoon in Alexandria is highly recommended, a mere two hour train journey away.
