Day 5 also incorrectly says the traveler is transferred from Cairo Airport to fly to Aswan, although Day 4 already ends with an overnight stay in Aswan. This script follows the logical day-by-day route: Cairo–Luxor by air, Luxor–Aswan by road through Edfu and Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel from Aswan, then Aswan–Cairo by air.
