The same three cities, three-star hotels and the overnight sleeper train instead of flights — the trip that made Egypt affordable for a generation of travellers.
The sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan is an institution. Private two-berth cabins, dinner and breakfast served at your seat, and you wake up in Upper Egypt having saved both a night's hotel and a day's travelling.
Hotels are clean, central three-stars. This is a real budget itinerary, not a luxury one with the price crossed out.
Airport meet and hotel transfer.
The classic Cairo day, then the sleeper train that evening.
Breakfast on the train, then Philae, the High Dam and a felucca.
Stopping at Kom Ombo and Edfu on the way north.
Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and the Colossi.
Karnak in the morning, sleeper train to Cairo overnight.
Arrive Cairo and transfer to the airport.

Comfortable closed shoes and light layers. Sites are dusty and often unshaded, so bring a hat and sunscreen. For mosques and churches, shoulders and knees should be covered, and women should carry a scarf for their hair.
Your hotel lobby — we pick you up and drop you back.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your tour starts. Cancel later or miss the pickup and the tour is charged in full.
