About This Tour
Two weeks combining Cairo's ancient sites, a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and four unhurried days on the Red Sea coast at Hurghada. This trip stays entirely within Egypt. It includes a real multi-day Nile cruise sailing from Aswan to Luxor with stops at Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Esna (nights 5 through 8), followed by four nights of beach time in Hurghada on the Red Sea before returning to Cairo for departure.
