09 Days Travel Packages To Egypt From USA 2026
Overview
Egypt For Travel’s 9-day travel package to Egypt from the USA covers the three most rewarding dimensions of an Egypt trip — ancient history, Nile sailing, and Red Sea relaxation — at the most accessible price point in our USA portfolio. Three days in Cairo with the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Three nights on a 5-star Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, sailing past Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu and the Valley of the Kings. Two nights all-inclusive at a Hurghada Red Sea resort with coral reef snorkelling. Everything included, private throughout, daily departures. From $1,549 per person.
Why This Is the Best-Value 9-Day Egypt Package From the USA
At $1,549 this package delivers the complete Egypt experience — ancient sites, Nile cruise and beach recovery — at a price that undercuts most comparable packages by hundreds of dollars. The key is the structure: 3 nights on the Nile cruise covers the full Aswan-to-Luxor route including Philae Temple, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. The 2-night all-inclusive Hurghada finish gives you genuine beach and snorkelling recovery time after the intensity of the ancient sites. Every day is private — your own Egyptologist guide, your own vehicle — with daily departures year-round.

What Makes the Hurghada All-Inclusive the Perfect Finish
After three days of walking ancient sites in Cairo and three nights on the Nile, most travelers arrive in Hurghada ready to do absolutely nothing — and the all-inclusive resort format is precisely the right setting for that. Hurghada sits on Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera with 320 days of sunshine per year, water temperatures of 26–28°C year-round, and reef systems that host over 1,200 fish species. The all-inclusive board basis covers all meals and soft drinks, meaning you can spend two full days entirely at the resort pool, beach and reef without making a single decision about food, logistics or cost. Optional activities available through Egypt For Travel: snorkelling trip to Giftun Island National Park, glass-bottom boat tour, or a desert jeep safari into the Eastern Mountains behind Hurghada.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this 9-day package and the 11-day all-inclusive?
The 11-day all-inclusive adds a 1-night Aswan hotel stay (giving you Aswan as a separate destination with more time at Philae Temple, the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk) and a 3rd night in Hurghada (soft all-inclusive vs full all-inclusive). The 9-day package at $1,549 is the better value for travelers who want the complete Egypt experience — Nile cruise and beach — at the most accessible price. The 11-day at $1,799 is better for travelers who want more time in both Aswan and Hurghada.
Does this package include Abu Simbel?
Abu Simbel is not included in this package but is available as an optional add-on from Aswan. The Aswan–Abu Simbel–Aswan return flight departs at 4:00 AM and returns by noon, leaving the afternoon free for other Aswan activities. The temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari carved into the Nubian cliff face are described by most visitors as the most extraordinary ancient site they saw in Egypt — more dramatic in scale than even the Pyramids. If your schedule allows, Egypt For Travel strongly recommends adding Abu Simbel. It can be confirmed at booking or upon arrival.
What is included in the all-inclusive at Hurghada?
The all-inclusive board basis at your Hurghada hotel covers all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurants), unlimited soft drinks, juices and water throughout the day, pool access and beach access. Alcoholic drinks, spa treatments, water sports equipment hire and optional excursions are charged separately. Egypt For Travel selects 4–5 star Hurghada hotels with direct beach access and reef snorkelling from the shore or by short boat transfer. The hotel is confirmed at booking based on availability.
What is the best time for Americans to do this tour?
October to April is ideal: Cairo and the Nile are 18–28°C, perfect for sightseeing, while Hurghada is 22–26°C, warm enough for comfortable beach and snorkelling. December (including Christmas and New Year) is the most popular booking window for American travelers — see our Egypt in December guide for detail. Summer (June–August) is hot in Cairo and Luxor but Hurghada’s Red Sea breeze keeps the coast comfortable. See our complete Best Time to Visit Egypt guide for month-by-month detail.
