SeasonalThis component follows the detailed cruise itinerary and final inclusion list as the operational source of truth. The page’s opening paragraph incorrectly describes a Cairo-and-Luxor package with domestic flights and is excluded. The High Dam and sunset felucca ride appear in overview text but not in detailed activities or final inclusions, so they require confirmation. The final meal plan of three breakfasts, three lunches and three dinners is used.
