RouteCairo · Alexandria · Luxor · Nile Cruise · Aswan · CairoA small-group cultural route with four cruise nights.
Important page discrepancies: The inclusion list incorrectly states a Cairo–Aswan domestic flight, while the detailed Day 8 itinerary clearly uses Aswan–Cairo. The page also incorrectly describes all nine nights as hotel nights; the detailed itinerary allocates five hotel nights and four Nile Cruise nights. Day 5 lists breakfast only despite being a cruise day, so lunch and dinner should not be assumed without written confirmation. Alexandria is included on Day 3 despite another overview line calling it optional.

Confirm the train class and timing, Aswan–Cairo flight, five hotel and four cruise nights, Day 5 meal plan and all optional experiences before booking.
