Accommodation 2 hotel nights + 2 sleeper-train nights The structure stated in the official inclusion list.
Internal travel Cairo–Luxor–Cairo by sleeper train Round-trip rail travel with private station transfers.
Sightseeing Giza, Saqqara, Luxor and Old Cairo Three guided sightseeing days.
Important page discrepancies: The official inclusion list states two 3-star hotel nights plus two sleeper-train cabin nights. However, the detailed daily sections show a Cairo hotel on Days 1 and 2, a Luxor hotel on Day 3 and a Cairo hotel on Day 4, which would equal four hotel nights and no sleeper-train overnight. Day 3 also says the traveler goes to Cairo train station and reaches Luxor for a full sightseeing programme on the same day, creating a timing conflict. The general information mentions domestic flights, but the package itself confirms round-trip sleeper-train travel. This script follows the official inclusion list and flags the accommodation schedule for written confirmation.
