The Perfect 7-Day Private Egypt Itinerary If you have about a week to spend in Egypt, you can comfortably see the country's essential highlights — the Giza Pyramids, a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, Karnak Temple, and the Valley of the Kings — without feeling rushed.

This guide walks through a realistic 7-day structure, explains why the sequence is built the way it is, and shows where a private trip gives you options a fixed group tour simply can't.
