About this experience
This itinerary is for a first visit that wants the three classic regions without extending to ten days. Allow two nights in Cairo, two in Luxor and two in Aswan. Instead of promising a Nile cruise, enjoy a private guided road journey from Luxor to Aswan via Edfu and Kom Ombo. Domestic flights, hotel grades, site tickets and a safe international connection are determined by your exact dates.
