From the Cairo desk
Tour Overview
Two Cairo nights, a three-night Aswan-to-Luxor sailing, fly home from Luxor or Cairo. This itinerary is "Short Cairo and Nile Sailing". Named stops: Giza, 3-night Nile, Philae, Luxor west bank.
For a tighter calendar. You miss nothing essential on the river; you miss a second Cairo city day.
Philae is an island temple of Isis, moved above the new lake after the High Dam — reached by a short boat, not a parking-lot walk. Hatshepsut’s terraces sit against the Theban cliffs on the west bank — a mortuary temple, not Karnak’s east-bank forest.
"Short Cairo and Nile Sailing" follows the river. Cabin class is confirmed after embarkation dates, not locked by a brochure name on this page.
Private means your party only. Empty seats are not filled with strangers, and shops not named on this page are not added at the gate.
