Hurghada Circular Route

Hurghada - Sinai - Cairo - Aswan - Luxor - Hurghada

Spend a day in Hurghada before taking the ferry across the red sea to Sharm El Sheikh (1.5 hours) and heading up the coast to one of the less developed resorts of Nuweiba or Dahab.

You can use either of these as a base from which to explore Sinai or simply as a relaxing, chilled beach resort in which to unwind.

Have you fill or snorkelling, trekking, camel riding etc for a few days before taking the overnight bus journey to Cairo.

You can then spend two days in Cairo enjoying the pyramids, museums, markets etc (Click for a full Cairo itinerary) before taking an overnight train journey south to Aswan .

Aswan is one of the most scenic places in Egypt and ideal for enjoying the Nile by Sail boat. If you have time it is possible to arrange a trip to Abu Simbel from here.

After no more than two days, take a 5 hour train journey north to Luxor (perhaps broken up with a visit to Kom Ombo or Edfu). You’ll have two days in Luxor , the former site of Thebes and the capital of the Ancient Egyptian Empire.

When it’s time to go home, Hurghada is only a five hour bus journey away.

This is a circular route and works just as well in reverse. You should just consider what you want to do first: beaches and deserts or monuments and wonders?

It’s a tough one I know
