The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Pyramid-view Giza hotels from $17 a night with breakfast
- Highs of 79–83°F and lows near 60°F for touring
- $411 below the highest fare we saw for these dates
The catch: The flight out takes 19h 45m with one stop and lands at 11:55 PM, and resort fees and a checked bag aren't in the total.
Worth it if you want nine nights of pyramids, temples and bazaars; skip it if a 19h 45m trip with a stop wipes you out.
Worth it if you can handle a long trip there: $1,790 for two covers the flights at $1,640 plus the hotel at $150, taxes and fees included, before resort fees, a checked bag and spending money. It runs Nov 14–23, 2026, 9 nights. You fly Turkish Airlines from DFW with one stop, not a nonstop.

Why now
The fare we found is $820 per person, which is $411 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 33% gap across 12 offers we checked. For two, the flights come to $1,640, and a 9-night stay at MakaNn pYramids iNN adds $150, for $1,790 all in. Prices are as found when we checked and can move. Mid-November is a comfortable time to be on your feet: typical highs run 79–83°F with lows near 60°F, good weather for the Giza plateau and Luxor's temples. It's also the main season for Nile cruises between Luxor and Aswan, and you'd go before December and January, the busiest months. Nine nights gives you room for Cairo and a three-night cruise south without rushing either. If you've been putting off Egypt, this fall's numbers make a strong argument for going.
The kind of trip this is
This is a history and culture trip with a city base and a river stretch. Mornings start early at the pyramids and the museum, afternoons go to bazaars and mosques, and evenings can be a felucca on the Nile. It suits couples or two friends who like full days and don't mind some heat and crowds, with a slower stretch on a cruise in the south.
