Egypt Itineraries Starting in Sharm El Sheikh

Suggested Egypt Itineraies: 2 - 3 Weeks

Sharm El Sheikh Circular Route

Sharm El Sheikh - Sinai - Cairo - Aswan - Luxor- Sharm El Sheikh

Spend a day in Sharm El Sheikh before heading up the coast to one of the less developed resorts such as Dahab or Nuweiba.

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.

On day 12 it’s time to start thinking about going home. Take a bus to Hurghada (5 hours) from where you can catch the ferry back to Sharm El Sheikh (1.5hours).

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.
