trip south to Abu Symbel.
On Day four/five you can relocate
to Luxor where the majority of Pharoahnic monuments are located (Valley of the
Kings/Queens, Karnack, Hatchetsup etc) and stay for two days.
A 4/5 hour bus journey
from Luxor will bring you to
the Red Sea resort of Hurghada. Here you can check
yourself into a luxury hotel for a week and spend some quality time with
a good book and some sunshine.
When it’s time to leave,
regular buses run to Cairo (4hours) several times per day.
