Ten days.
"Originally this calendar was engineered to begin with the day of the appearance of Sirius/Sopdet at sunrise. Despite the fact that the Nile may have already begun to rise, this date was considered to be the beginning of the season of Akhet. In the civil calendar each season is composed of four months, each month is made up of three weeks, and each week consisted of ten days. The total number of days in the civil year is 360. At the end of the last month of the civil year five days were added that were considered to be independent from the year. These were viewed as the days in the year on which several gods were born as these days were outside of the mundane civil calendar and thus of a spiritual nature. These were termed the Heriu-renpet or "the Days Upon the Year," however Egyptologists refer to them as the epagomenal days."

There were 10 days in a week in ancient Egypt.
Also - 3 weeks in a month - 4 months in a season and 3 seasons in a year.
Thatv equals 360 days in a year.
