Explore nuestros 2026 ToursCapítulo 1: ¿Por qué 14 días Es el lugar dulce
Egipto es inmenso. Una semana apenas rasca la superficie.

Este itinerario se ve acelerado para evitar quemaduras, asegurando que no se pierda un solo punto culminante[citación:1][citación:10].
Inmersión histórica
Desde la meseta de Giza hasta el Valle de los Reyes, tendrás tiempo para explorar profundamente, no solo mirar.
Fotografía Oro
La hora de oro dispara en los templos principales, el amanecer sobre Luxor de un globo de aire caliente, y la luz etérea del desierto blanco, todo posible con 14 días.
Relajación del Mar Rojo
Después de días de hopping en el templo, 3-4 días en la costa te permiten recargar en playas prístinas o debajo de las olas [citación:1].

Capítulo 3: El Cairo – La capital milenaria (Días 1 a 4)
Día 1: Llegada
Upon landing at Cairo International Airport, your private transfer (arranged by Egipto Fotografía Tours) will whisk you to your hotel. Choose between a stay in Giza with pyramid views or in Zamalek for a more laid‑back vibe[citation:1][citation:5]. In the evening, take a gentle stroll along the Nile Corniche or enjoy a welcome dinner at a rooftop restaurant.
Photography Tip: If you're in Giza, the sunset light on the pyramids from your hotel terrace is a perfect warm‑up shot.
Día 2: La Meseta Giza – Iconos de Eternidad
Comience temprano (alrededor de las 8am) para golpear a las multitudes y el calor. Su guía egipcia te guiará por la Gran Pirámide de Khufu, la Pirámide de Khafre, y la Pirámide de Menkaure. Párese ante la esfinge enigmática y visite el Museo del Barco Solar[citación:5]. Un paseo en camello al mirador panorámico ofrece una oportunidad clásica de fotos.
Pro Tip: The sound and light show in the evening is best enjoyed from your hotel terrace or a nearby restaurant—skip the crowded on‑site version.
Tour Integration: This is exactly how our Tour fotográfico privado de pirámides unfolds, with a professional photographer capturing you against these timeless backdrops using Sony A7IV cameras.
Día 3: Museos " Bazares - El Corazón de El Cairo
Spend the morning at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to Tutankhamun's treasures and countless royal mummies. If the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is fully open by 2026, dedicate your time there—it's set to be the world's largest archaeological museum[citation:5].
After lunch, dive into the labyrinthine alleys of Khan el‑Khalili. The scent of spices, gleam of lanterns, and calls of merchants create a sensory overload. Practice your haggling skills and perhaps enjoy mint tea at El Fishawy café[citation:1].
Photography Tip: Use a wide‑angle lens for the bustling market scenes, and ask permission before photographing shopkeepers—a smile and a small purchase often open doors.
Tour Integration: Our 2-Día El Cairo & Giza Tour packages these highlights with perfect timing, ensuring you avoid the midday crush.
Día 4: El Cairo copto " Saqqara opcional
This morning, explore Coptic Cairo—the oldest part of the city. Visit the Hanging Church (Al‑Muallaqa), the Coptic Museum, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue[citation:5]. It's a serene contrast to the Islamic quarters.
Optional Extension: If you're passionate about pyramids, skip the afternoon rest and take a trip to Saqqara to see the Step Pyramid of Djoser—the world's oldest monumental stone structure. Continue to Dahshur to witness the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid, often with far fewer tourists[citation:5].
In the evening, board the Watania Sleeper Train to Aswan. The journey takes about 12–13 hours, and you'll have a private compartment with dinner and breakfast included[citation:2].
Capítulo 4: Nubian Gateway " El Nilo - Aswan " Abu Simbel (Días 5 a 6)
Día 5: Llegada de Aswan – Temples & Felucca Dreams
Wake up to the sight of palm trees and the Nile. Upon arrival in Aswan, you'll be transferred to your hotel. After freshening up, take a motorboat to Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, magnificently relocated to Agilkia Island[citation:2].
Visit the Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries—it offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient stone‑working. In the late afternoon, experience a felucca sail around Elephantine Island and the Agha Khan Mausoleum as the sun sets, painting the Nile in gold.
Photography Tip: The light on Philae in the late afternoon is sublime. Bring a polarizing filter to deepen the blues of the water and sky.
Día 6: Abu Simbel – Obra maestra de Ramsés II
An early start (around 4am) is required for the convoy to Abu Simbel. The three‑hour drive through the desert is rewarded by the sight of the Great Temple of Ramses II and the smaller temple of Nefertari, carved from a mountainside and relocated to save them from Lake Nasser[citation:2][citation:10]. You'll have about two hours to explore before the return journey.
Back in Aswan by early afternoon, you can visit a Nubian Village on the west bank. The colorful houses, friendly locals, and the chance to see crocodiles (as pets) offer a vibrant cultural immersion.
Tour Integration: Our 7 días Egipto Discovery Tour includes Abu Simbel and a Nubian Village visit, with all logistics handled so you can focus on the experience.
Capítulo 5: El crucero del Nilo – Aswan a Luxor (Días 7–9)
Día 7: Embarque " Kom Ombo by Sunset
Today you board your Nile cruise ship. After lunch and settling in, the ship sails north to Kom Ombo. This unique double temple is dedicated to two gods: Sobek (the crocodile god) and Horus the Elder. Visit in the late afternoon when the low sun casts dramatic shadows across the reliefs[citation:2]. The onsite Crocodile Museum is a small but fascinating addition.
Día 8: Templo de Edfu y la cerradura de Esna
Early morning arrival at Edfu. Disembark and take a horse‑drawn carriage to the Temple of Horus—the best‑preserved temple in Egypt. Its towering pylons and dark interior are incredibly atmospheric[citation:2].
Return to the cruise and sail toward Luxor. The passage through the Esna Lock is a fascinating piece of modern Nile engineering; watch from the deck as the water level adjusts. Enjoy onboard entertainment in the evening, often a galabeya party.
Día 9: La Ribera Occidental de Luxor - Ciudad de los Muertos
Disembark in Luxor. Today is dedicated to the West Bank. Start with the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs like Tutankhamun and Ramses II were buried. Your ticket typically allows entry to three tombs (excluding special ones like Seti I or Tutankhamun, which require separate tickets)[citation:2][citation:5].
Next, marvel at the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el‑Bahari, a stunning structure built into the cliffs. On the way back, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have guarded the Theban plain for 3,400 years.
Optional Sunrise Magic: Book a hot‑air balloon ride over the West Bank. Floating above the temples and tombs as the sun rises is an unforgettable photographic experience.
Capítulo 6: Relajación del Mar Rojo de Luxor (Días 10 a 12)
Día 10: Templos Karnak & Luxor – Luego a la Costa
Spend the morning at the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious building ever constructed. The Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 gigantic columns, is a photographer's dream[citation:2]. Afterwards, visit Luxor Temple, which is beautifully situated in the heart of the city and offers a different, more intimate atmosphere.
In the early afternoon, you'll be driven approximately 4–5 hours through the Eastern Desert to Hurghada on the Red Sea[citation:1]. Check into your beachfront resort and let the sound of the waves wash away the temple dust.
Día 11: Mar Rojo – Snorkeling o buceo
The Red Sea is a world‑class destination for underwater exploration. Book a boat trip to Giftun Island or one of the pristine offshore reefs. Snorkel among vibrant coral gardens and technicolor fish. If you're a certified diver, the walls and drop‑offs are legendary[citation:1][citation:2].
Photography Tip: If you have an underwater housing or a GoPro, this is the day to use it. The clarity of the water is extraordinary.
Día 12: Safari del desierto o segundo día de dicha
You have options. Take a quad bike or jeep safari into the Eastern Desert, visiting a Bedouin village and watching the sunset over the dunes. Alternatively, enjoy a second day of diving, or simply lounge by the pool with a good book. The marina area in Hurghada offers excellent seafood restaurants for your final evening by the sea[citation:1].
Capítulo 7: Regreso al Salida de El Cairo (Días 13 a 14)
Día 13: Volar a El Cairo
A short one‑hour flight brings you back to Cairo. Use this final afternoon for any missed sights—perhaps revisit the Egyptian Museum if you skipped it earlier, or shop for last‑moment souvenirs. Consider a farewell dinner on a Nile dinner cruise with entertainment.
Tour Integration: Our Viaje de día de Alexandria can be added here if you have an extra day, but with 14 days, you'll want to save Alexandria for a future journey.
Día 14: Salida
Después del desayuno, su traslado privado le llevará al Aeropuerto Internacional de El Cairo para su casa de vuelo, lleno de miles de imágenes y recuerdos indelebles.

Photography Masterclass for Your 2‑Week Egypt Trip
Para capturar a Egipto en su mejor, siga estos consejos profesionales de nuestro equipo:
- Gear Up: A 16‑35mm wide‑angle is essential for the Hypostyle Hall and giant statues. A 70‑200mm telephoto lets you isolate details and compress the pyramid landscapes[citation:4].
- Golden Hours: Be at Karnak or Philae just before sunset. The low light warms the stone and creates long, dramatic shadows.
- Filters Matter: A circular polarizer cuts through haze and deepens blue skies—vital for outdoor temple shots.
- Respect Rules: No flash inside tombs. Tripods often require special permits; we handle that for you[citation:4].
- People First: Always ask before photographing locals. A small tip (baksheesh) is appreciated if you take a portrait.
Our Tour privado de pirámides and Tour de descubrimiento de 7 días are designed with photographers in mind—we manage permits, timing, and even offer post‑processing workshops.

Capítulo 9: Egipto práctico – Consejos para un viaje de 2 semanas
Mejor tiempo para visitar
Octubre a abril ofrece las temperaturas más cómodas para hacer turismo. Diciembre y enero son la temporada pico-libro temprano. Mayo, Septiembre y principios de Octubre son meses de hombro con buen tiempo y menos multitudes[citación:1].
Visa de entrada
La mayoría de las nacionalidades pueden obtener un e‐Visa en línea antes de viajar o un visado a la llegada a los principales aeropuertos (se requiere efectivo). Comprueba con tu embajada local los últimos requisitos[citación:1].
Moneda & Tipping
Libras egipcias (EGP) para pequeños gastos; USD es ampliamente aceptado para consejos y tours más grandes. Tipping (baksheesh) está arraigado—presupuesto 10-15% de su costo de viaje para consejos a través de guías, conductores y personal del hotel[citación:1]. Llevar pequeñas notas.
Código de vestimenta y etiqueta
- Modest clothing: Cover shoulders and knees, especially in mosques and Coptic areas. Lightweight cotton is your friend.
- Footwear: Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are essential for temple floors and desert paths.
- Haggling: Expected in markets. Start at half the asking price and smile.
- Hydration: Drink bottled water constantly—the dry heat dehydrates quickly.
