One Week Itinerary Cairo to Aswan

One Week Itinerary Cairo to Aswan

(Cairo – Aswan – Luxor)

Spend the first two days in Cairo (see full Cairo Itinerary) visiting the Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum and the markets before taking an overnight train south to Aswan, and then working your way back north.

Spend two days in Aswan enjoying the river Nile and its surroundings by felucca. If time and money permit make the trip to the Sudanese border to visit Abu Simbel.

On day 5 take an early train to Luxor and spend the remainder of day five and six visiter the monuments around Egypt’s ancient capital. On the evening of day six, take the overnight train back to Cairo arriving on the morning of Day 7.

Very helpful

Ben from California

I echo the sentiments of the other commenters: this site is a very nice contrast to the others out there that are usually either targetted at really high-end budgets, or are very poorly put together.

Thanks!

Simply Amazed

Rebecca from Chicago

I became frustrated as I goggled various combinations of backpacking and Egypt, but was pleasantly surprised by your site! At last, a site not offering just hostels or 5* hotel packages! I'm a solo traveller who revels in finding "off the beaten track places." Your site site is useful because it truly gives all the information any person wopuld need when going to Egypt. Now I'm really excited about my trip in March!

Keep up the good work!

Rebecca
