Important page discrepancies: The page’s Overview/Inclusions block says two hotel nights plus two sleeper-train nights, but the detailed day-by-day itinerary shows four hotel nights: Cairo on Days 1 and 2, Luxor on Day 3 and Cairo on Day 4. This script follows the detailed itinerary. Day 4 also contains a second inconsistency: the activity cards show Old Coptic Cairo, the Citadel / Alabaster Mosque and Khan El Khalili, while the Day Extra Information additionally lists the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. That museum should be reconfirmed in writing before publication or booking.
