    Cairo & Giza

    Land in Cairo and take a hotel transfer from the airport. On day 2, get to the Giza Plateau by 8am to avoid crowds and intense heat. "The morning light makes for the best pyramid photos before the day gets too harsh." Visit the Step Pyramid at Sakkara in the afternoon when it's less busy.

    Aswan & Nile Cruise

    Book a quick flight to Aswan instead of taking the bus. "The flight upgrade was worth every penny compared to the 14-hour bumpy bus ride."

  • Days 5-6

    Luxor's East & West Banks

    While cruising to Luxor, stop at Kom Ombo Temple. Visit Karnak and Luxor Temples on the East Bank. "Go to Valley of the Kings first thing in the morning before it gets crowded and extremely hot." Plan for at least 2 hours at Valley of the Kings. Most visitors say they need more time here.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Red Sea Resort at Hurghada

    Take a break at the beach in Hurghada. Book water activities through your hotel for better quality. "The snorkeling was incredible but avoid the crowded party boats - opt for smaller group tours for better reef access."

A recent visitor mentioned: "The local instructors were so patient. Even complete beginners were standing up by the end of the session!" Remember to put on sunscreen 30 minutes before getting in the water. The Bali sun is strong even on overcast days.
