First and foremost, it's important to remember that Egypt is a large country with plenty to explore beyond its most famous attractions like the Pyramids of Giza and the Nile River. If you want to get a more well-rounded view of the country, plan on spending at least 10-14 days here. This will give you enough time to visit cities like Alexandria or Aswan, explore ancient temples in Luxor, take a Nile cruise, and even venture into the Western Desert for some off-the-beaten-path adventures.
