RouteCairo → Luxor → Aswan → CairoGiza, Saqqara, Luxor and historic Cairo sightseeing, with a free Aswan day.
Important page discrepancy: The official inclusion list states five hotel nights and also includes sleeper-train tickets from Cairo to Luxor and from Aswan to Cairo. However, the detailed itinerary shows hotel accommodation in Cairo on Days 1 and 2, Aswan on Days 3 and 4, and Cairo on Day 5, leaving no overnight period for either sleeper train. Day 3 also describes transfer to Cairo station, arrival in Luxor, a complete Luxor tour and onward travel to Aswan on the same programme day. Day 5 similarly combines the Aswan sleeper train, arrival in Cairo and a full city tour. This script preserves the published services but flags the hotel and train schedule for written confirmation.
