I am not as sure about what it looks like for night accommodations on the train. Please explain the itinerary for us and the chance for upgrade on travel or night lodging. This looks like a trip of a lifetime and we want to make sure we have a comfortable experience as we are older (65 and 70) and not as amenable to roughing it as we used to be.

We can certainly book you flights instead of the Sleeper train Flights per person USD$ 220 hotel night instead of Overnight in the Sleeper train USD$ 135 per double room

I have a few questions about the 5 day tour in Egypt. First, how is the baggage secured for the day in Luxor? I am also mostly traveling for work, so my pick up and drop off would not be at the airport. Do I need to find my own way to the hotel?

The baggage could Leave your bags at the hotel storage until you return from Luxor. Transfer from/to the airport is included in your tour price and we will be handling that we will pick you up from the airport to your hotel and back for your departure flight.

I enjoyed my time in Cairo and Luxor! Ancient Egyptian was in contact with me prior to arrival and answered any questions that I had. The itinerary was explained to me and no changes were made. Walid Abuelnaga was the tour guide in Cairo and he was excellent.He is an excellent source of information on the history of Egypt. I learned so much! Walid also gave good tips on navigating the sites and when my battery died on my camera he took pictures for me, he went above and beyond! Sayed was the driver in Cairo and he is a pleasant and helpful young man.Refai was the guide in Luxor,he too was very knowledgeab le about the sites and gave lots of information. The driver in Luxor was very nice,however, I don't remember his name. The reason the 4 stars is because I didn't like the train.Walid,Refai,and Sayad are GEMS!Show more

  Traveler•Written October 2023
  I am trying to fit this tour in to my work schedule while in Cairo. I would need to be back at my work hotel at the end of day 4 instead of staying at the included accommodation. Is this possible and will it affect the price at all?
- Ancient Egypt ToursOperator•Written October 2023
  Everything is possible. We will drop you off at the work hotel on day four and reduce a day from the accommodation price.
