Abu Simbel Day Trip from Aswan
Seven hours of road for the temples: worth it, but choose your departure time on purpose rather than by default.

- About 3.5 hours each way by road
- At the sites
- Ask us: time at the temples depends on your departure slot
Starting priceUSD 115Nile cruise

Judge a cruise by the boat's name and the hours ashore, not its star label. Ask for both before you book.
- On the road
- Sailing between sites; short transfers ashore
- At the sites
- Guided visits at every stop, set by the river schedule
Starting priceUSD 670Nile cruise
Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: 4 Nights

- On the road
- Sailing between sites; short transfers ashore
- At the sites
- Guided visits every day, set by the river schedule

Starting priceUSD 150Half-day tour
