Important page discrepancies: The route, title and itinerary clearly begin in Luxor and end in Aswan. However, the general information incorrectly says check-in is usually around 11:00 AM in Aswan, and the Day 5 departure paragraph incorrectly says the driver will take guests to a next destination in Luxor. This script follows the actual Luxor-to-Aswan route and treats the final transfer as an Aswan service. The daily programme lists breakfast on Day 1 even though embarkation occurs around midday, while Day 5 does not separately state the included breakfast despite disembarkation after breakfast. These arrival and departure meals should be reconfirmed.

Review the sailing programme or confirm your 5-day Nile Cruise

Confirm the vessel, cabin category, Luxor embarkation time, Aswan departure transfer, arrival and final-day meals, and any optional balloon, Abu Simbel or Nubian Village visit before booking.
