A 7-day Egypt trip from India pairs Cairo (pyramids, museums, 3 days) with Luxor and a short Nile cruise or day trips (4 days) — direct and one-stop flights from Delhi and Mumbai reach Cairo International Airport in roughly 6–9 hours depending on route. Winter (October–April) is generally the more comfortable season, since summer daytime temperatures can be very high, especially in Upper Egypt (Luxor/Aswan).
Sample 7-day plan
Days 1–3: Cairo
- Day 1 — Arrive, settle in, evening at a Nile-side restaurant.
- Day 2 — The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx in the morning; the Egyptian Museum (or the Grand Egyptian Museum, depending on what's open) in the afternoon.
- Day 3 — Islamic Cairo (Khan el-Khalili bazaar, historic mosques) and Coptic Cairo's old churches.
Days 4–7: Luxor & the Nile
Fly from Cairo to Luxor (roughly 1–1.5 hours). Spend 2–3 days visiting the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and Luxor Temples, and the Colossi of Memnon, with the option of a short Nile cruise or felucca sail before flying back to Cairo for your onward journey home.
Budget guidance
As of mid-2026, a mid-range 7-day trip (3-star hotels, a guided Giza tour, domestic flights to Luxor, local and mid-range dining) for one traveller from India typically runs roughly ₹70,000–₹1,20,000 excluding international flights, which themselves vary (roughly ₹35,000–₹65,000 round-trip depending on route and season). Treat this as a rough band, not a quote.
