Before booking Egypt, decide your trip length, travel pace, must-see places, guide preference, and total budget.
1. How many days?
· Short trips should stay focused.
· A week gives you more room for Cairo and Upper Egypt.
2. Land tour or Nile cruise?
· Land tours can move faster.
· A cruise connects several Upper Egypt sites with fewer hotel changes.
3. Private guide or self-guided?
· A licensed Egyptologist can explain the history and help manage timing at major sites.
4. How much heat and walking can you handle?
· Pyramids, temples, and tombs can require long outdoor periods.
· Build rest into the day.
5. What is your full budget?
· Add international flights, visa, package, tips, insurance, meals, and optional tours.
