Gulf of Aqaba to Cairo via Upper Egypt

(Israel/Jordan Border – Nuweiba – Dahab – Hurghada – Luxor– Aswan– Cairo)

Entering Egypt overland from Israel or Jordan , your first stop will be Nuweiba and the laid back resort of Tarabin. Spend a night or two and then move down the coast to Dahab.

By basing yourself here you can choose to either simply kick back, or organise a number of worthwhile excursion. These might include a short trip to local snorkelling spots such as the blue hole, a trekking or jeep safari trip to the coloured canyon, or an overnight effort to Saint Catherine and the sacred Mount Sinai .

After 5/6 days it’s time to move on to mainland Egypt .

One long day of travelling will get you over to Luxor. First take the bus to Sharm El Sheikh (1hour) then taken the ferry to Hurghada (1.5 hours) and finally a 4/5 hour bus journey to Luxor . If this sounds too arduous you can break up the journey with a night in a hotel in Hurghada before continuing to Luxor .

A couple of days in Luxor will get you acquainted with ancient Egypt before you take the train south to Aswan . After a day in Aswan , and a possible a trip to Abu Simbel if time and money allow, take the overnight train north to Cairo .

You should have a full two days to explore Cairo (See Recommended Cairo Itinerary). If time permits, you can take a train to Alexandria (2hours) for the afternoon or a night.
