21 Day Best of Egypt Tours

Egypt Best Vacations all-inclusive 21-day packages typically include:

• Airport transfers + all domestic transport (flights, private vehicles)

• 5 star hotels (Cairo, Alexandria, Red Sea resort, desert camp)

• Nile cruise (Luxor ↔ Aswan) with full board

• Most meals (daily breakfast, lunch/dinner on cruise, selected meals elsewhere)

• English-speaking Egyptologist guides throughout

• Entrance fees to all listed sites (Pyramids, GEM, Valley of Kings, Karnak, Philae, Abu Simbel, Catacombs, etc.)

• Red Sea beach time + desert excursion (White Desert or Siwa)

Excluded: International flights, Egypt entry visa, tipping, optional hot air balloon, spa services.

The difference is completeness + Abu Simbel. With Egypt Best Vacations:

• 15 days = Cairo + Alexandria + Nile cruise + one finale (Red Sea or desert)

• 18 days = Cairo + Alexandria + Nile cruise + BOTH Red Sea and desert

• 21 days = Cairo + Alexandria + Nile cruise + Abu Simbel + Red Sea + desert + extra breathing room

You get the mighty temples of Abu Simbel (a full-day marvel many miss), plus both water and sand ecosystems, plus more time to linger at every site. No rushing. No compromises.

Yes. Every 21-day best of Egypt tour from Egypt Best Vacations includes a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan (typically 3–4 nights). You’ll visit the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae Temple. The cruise becomes a moving hotel – no packing/unpacking – and the river views are among the journey’s finest moments.

Yes – and this is a major differentiator. Many 15–18 day packages skip Abu Simbel due to time constraints. Egypt Best Vacations 21-day tours include the full-day excursion to Abu Simbel from Aswan. You’ll see the magnificent temples of Ramses II and Nefertari. It’s often described as the single most awe-inspiring site in Egypt. With 21 days, you have time for this wonder without sacrificing anything else.

Yes. You get both:

• Red Sea (Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh) – Snorkeling, diving, or pure beach relaxation (2–3 days)

• Desert (White Desert or Siwa Oasis) – Surreal chalk rock formations, overnight under stars, or remote salt lakes

Shorter packages force a choice. 21 days gives you the full spectrum – turquoise water and otherworldly sand – in one seamless journey.
