11 & 12 Day Egypt Tour
Packages

This length suits travelers who want to go beyond the essentials — repeat visitors, Egyptology enthusiasts who want Dendera and Abydos alongside Karnak and Luxor Temple, families who want cultural sightseeing plus a proper resort stay, or anyone who prefers a relaxed pace with a full day or two built in for rest rather than back-to-back excursions.

The family holiday package covers the same Cairo, Aswan and Luxor sightseeing core but swaps the final leg for 4 nights at a 5-star Sharm El Sheikh resort with a Galabeya party built into the cruise, kid-friendly pacing, and beach time. The In-Depth Cultural tour instead spends the extra days on additional temple sites — Abydos, Dendera, the Valley of the Queens — for travelers who want maximum historical depth over resort time.

A Dahabiya is a traditional, wind-powered sailboat with just a handful of cabins rather than the 50-150 passengers on a standard cruise ship — it's a quieter, slower, more intimate way to experience the Nile, stopping at riverside villages larger ships bypass. It costs significantly more per person, so it's best suited to travelers who value the exclusivity and pace over trying to see the maximum number of sites in the shortest time.

Yes — our 11-day oasis tour is built exactly for this, combining Cairo and the Great Pyramids with a multi-day 4x4 desert route through Bahariya, the White Desert, Dakhla and Kharga oases, then finishing in Luxor for the classic East and West Bank sites. It's the most adventurous itinerary in this duration range and a good fit for travelers who've already done a standard Nile cruise.

Yes — two of our packages in this range pair a full Cairo, Nile cruise and Abu Simbel circuit with 3-4 nights at a Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh resort at the end, so the cultural sightseeing stays intact and the beach time is simply added on top rather than replacing anything.
