7 Days in Hurghada: The Perfect One-Week Itinerary
A week in Hurghada is enough to see the reefs, the desert and at least one of Egypt's great ancient sites — if you plan the rhythm well. This is the itinerary Hurghada Day Trips suggests to most guests, with swaps for different travellers.
The plan
| Day | Plan | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arrive, pool, Marina dinner | Recover from the flight |
| 2 | Orange Bay & Giftun | Best first sea day |
| 3 | Pool morning + Super Safari | Desert at sunset |
| 4 | Luxor day trip | The big history day |
| 5 | Rest day or hammam | Recharge after Luxor |
| 6 | Dolphin House or Mahmya | Second sea day |
| 7 | City tour, souvenirs | Easy last day before flying |
Swaps for families
Replace the Dolphin House with the Sindbad submarine, and choose the private Luxor trip for more breaks.
Swaps for couples
Swap the Super Safari for the stargazing safari and book a private yacht for day six.
Want the Pyramids instead of Luxor?
Swap day four for the Cairo day trip by plane. If you're a keen diver, remember not to fly within 18–24 hours of diving.
Frequently asked questions
Can I do Luxor and Cairo in one week?
Yes, but leave a rest day between them. Consider the two-day Cairo trip for a less rushed experience.
