Overview
This private 3-day Aswan and Abu Simbel tour from Cairo uses round-trip domestic flights to create a realistic southern Egypt short break.

Questions About This Tour
Clear answers to the practical details travellers usually confirm before requesting a quotation.
Is three days enough for Aswan and Abu Simbel?
Yes. The fixed route gives Abu Simbel a dedicated Day 2 road excursion and keeps the return to Cairo on Day 3. It does not force Luxor or a same-day flight into the Abu Simbel day.
Are Cairo-Aswan flights included?
Yes. Round-trip Cairo–Aswan–Cairo economy flight sectors are included as shown in the itinerary.
Why is Abu Simbel on a separate day?
The private road return takes about nine to ten hours. Keeping it separate from a domestic flight protects road delays, comfort and the full temple visit.
How many Aswan hotel nights are included?
Two Aswan hotel nights with breakfast are included in the selected accommodation tier.
Which Aswan sites are included?
The fixed Aswan route includes the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk and Philae Temple with the standard boat crossing.
Is the route private?
The sightseeing, guiding and road transfers are private. Domestic flights and hotel facilities are shared services.
How much does the package cost?
Prices begin at USD 1,125 per person in Standard accommodation, May–September, triple occupancy. Choose Standard, Deluxe, Ultra Deluxe or Luxury accommodation, then select May–September or October–April and Triple, Double or Single occupancy to see the firm Egypt Story price.
Can Luxor be added?
Luxor should be added as a separately designed extension, not forced into this three-day route. The protected base package remains Cairo, Aswan and Abu Simbel.
