Count usable days after arrival and before departure. Then decide whether you mainly want resort time, local excursions or long historical journeys.
Three days: a focused short break
A short stay can fit one chosen sea experience, flexible city or hotel time and an additional activity. It leaves less room to move a sea day or recover after a long trip. Use the three-day plan as a suggested sequence, not a combined package.
Five days: room for balance
Extra usable days can separate a full boat outing from a desert activity and make room for one historical trip without removing all rest time. A weather buffer is useful, but no product's availability is guaranteed simply because you have more days.
Seven days: breadth or a slower pace
A week can support both local activities and selected long-distance sightseeing. Decide whether you want one historical trip plus several rest days or a more demanding plan with both Cairo and Luxor. More time is not a reason to reserve every day.
Count journey lengths honestly
Cairo lists 16-18 hours; Luxor 14-15 hours. Island and diving/snorkeling boat programs commonly list approximately 7-8 hours, while Desert Safari runs approximately 15:00-19:30. Keep onward departure time separate from excursion returns. If you want multiple destinations, request a custom plan instead of assuming a combined product exists.

No. They work best for a focused choice rather than every sea, desert and historical program.
Are these lengths sold packages?
