Lowest round trip fares recently found on Aviasales for each month, London to Egypt, checked 14 October 2026. Prices move constantly, so read this as the shape of the year rather than a quote.
Egypt planning is one shape decision and one temperament decision. The shape: Cairo holds the pyramids and the museums, and everything else that matters sits on the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, so the trip is two bases joined by the overnight sleeper or a 1 hour flight. The temperament: the hassle at the big sites is real and survivable, and travellers consistently report that a guide at the heavy hitters converts it from siege to sightseeing.
How many days do you need in Egypt?
8 days: 3 days in Cairo, the sleeper south, 2 days in Aswan with Abu Simbel, and 2 in Luxor.
A 3 or 4 night Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor replaces the middle days like for like. Less than a week means choosing Cairo or the Nile, not compressing both.

Why this page exists. Every RoamWeek page has to say something true of it and false of its siblings. For Egypt that is the question of how long to stay, which the duration pages below answer one length at a time.
