12 Days / 11 Nights
Private
English
Overview
This private twelve-day Egypt journey is the fuller classic-Egypt choice for travellers who want to pair Cairo and Luxor with a genuine Lake Nasser sailing. It protects the Luxor and Aswan land days before the four-night Lake Nasser programme to Abu Simbel, then returns to Cairo for departure.
It is a broader Upper Egypt route than our six-day Aswan sailing and nine-day Cairo and Lake Nasser package. Explore Egypt packages with Lake Nasser, compare Egypt travel packages, or plan this private journey.
