Important page discrepancy: The operational itinerary is clear: Cairo → Giza & GEM → Old Cairo → overnight bus/train to Aswan → Nile Cruise through Kom Ombo and Edfu → Luxor sightseeing → eclipse event → return to Cairo → departure. A What to Expect image caption incorrectly mentions Hurghada, but Hurghada does not appear in the actual 8-day itinerary and is therefore not included. Day 7 accommodation and return transport remain operationally flexible and must be confirmed in writing.
