This 15-day all-inclusive Egypt holiday pairs a 7-night, 5-star Nile cruise with 7 nights at an all-inclusive 5-star hotel in Hurghada, from $1,999 per person. The cruise sails from Luxor to Aswan and back, with guided visits to Karnak and Luxor temples, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Edfu, Kom Ombo, the High Dam and Philae. Private air-conditioned cars connect Hurghada and Luxor, so there are no domestic flights, and a private Egyptologist guides every visit. It suits travellers who want the great temples and a real beach holiday in one booking.
Your Egypt Day Tours representative meets you at Hurghada airport with a name sign and helps you through immigration and customs, then takes you by private air-conditioned car to your hotel.
