Eight days covers Cairo, Luxor and Aswan comfortably. Six works for the highlights, and ten adds Abu Simbel and the Red Sea.

October to April is cool and comfortable for temples and the Nile. Summers are hot, but the Red Sea is at its best.

Millions of visitors travel safely each year. We use trusted drivers and guides and avoid areas not recommended for travel.
