The Verdict
Our take, one travel-curious founder to another.
Eight days can suit a focused first Egypt trip; fourteen days can add an extension or give the same route more breathing room. The better choice depends on your flights, cruise schedule, interests and comfort with transfers. Ask for the day-by-day plan and full inclusions. A longer itinerary should improve the experience, not simply add more rushed stops.
