My wife and I have a trip to Egypt planed for this year and I am considering buying either the 14mm f2.8 or 10-24mm f4 lens for the trip. Any advice? My camera is an X-T2.

I have never used the 14mm so can't speak of that. I do own the 10-24mm though and I cannot imagine going on a trip without it hence that is what I would pick. Of course that is totally subjective. Since X-T2 doesn't have IBIS, I think the OIS of 10-24mm is more useful than just one stop unless you are shooting moving subjects but even then 2.8 probably won't be enough.

The Sigma 16mm 1.4 is also a great lens (I have one as well) and while even at nighttime you probably won't shoot at 1.4 all the time due to probable lack of depth of field it is still nice to have. There is also the Viltrox 13mm but kinda too wide for my taste. Might suit you well though.

Either way I would pick 10-24mm no matter what. You can get a used mark I version for a low price at the moment. Same goes for the 14mm though so both are a good deal price-wise.
