RouteLuxor → Edfu → Kom Ombo → AswanAbu Simbel remains optional unless confirmed in writing.
Important page discrepancies: The page title and FAQ suggest that Abu Simbel is included, but the Day 4 itinerary, overview and optional-tour notes repeatedly describe it as an extra-cost excursion. This script therefore treats Abu Simbel as excluded unless the booking confirmation expressly includes it. The route clearly starts in Luxor and ends in Aswan, yet the general information incorrectly says check-in is in Aswan, and the Day 5 paragraph incorrectly refers to a final transfer in Luxor. Day 1 also lists breakfast despite midday embarkation, while Day 5 implies disembarkation after breakfast without listing the meal separately.

Review the programme or confirm your 4-night Nile Cruise

Confirm whether Abu Simbel is included, the vessel, cabin category, Luxor embarkation time, Aswan departure transfer and arrival/departure meal service before booking.
