    Hello Marije, this is Ihab first off all thank you for your feedback but you judging all the team because of one person who doesn't represent the whole tour is not fair and we could've easily replaced him if you had said anything from the first day on the nile cruise and still you left us a negative review knowing we did our best effort to compensate the experience for you with a free tour.

    Tour Details
    • Itaca HolidayOperatorWritten April 2026

      Yes, this itinerary can certainly be arranged. However, we will need to know your arrival date in Egypt and the total number of days for your trip in order to plan everything properly and provide you with the best arrangement.

      Once we have these details, we will organize your program including Cairo sightseeing, your flight to Aswan, and all transfers accordingly.

  • R

    Rob

    Asked on March 25th, 2026

    Can we still join the tour for the 2nd of April if our flight lands at 00:15 on 3rd of April? When would flights to Aswan and Cairo be leaving and is there a big difference between comfort level on the sleeping train or the flight?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Itaca HolidayOperatorWritten March 2026

      Yes, you can join the tour on April 2nd, and this option is very suitable for your schedule.

      Flights from Cairo to Aswan are usually in the morning to match the Nile cruise itinerary. Flights from Luxor to Cairo are typically in the evening after the Nile cruise ends.

      Yes, there is a difference — flying is the better option, as the flight duration is only about 1 hour, while the sleeping train takes approximately 14 hours.

    • R

      Rob

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      What time in the morning would the flight from Cairo be at? Also what time would flight from Luxor reach Cairo? The option mentions a hotel with the flights? Is this a hotel for the 8th night in Cairo? Is it possible to book the flights without the hotel?

      We are also interested in Egyptian history and wanted to know if it's possible to visit the Saqqara as well Deir Al Medina as an add on.

      how much is an upgrade to a sleeping train from cairo to aswan and luxor to cairo?

    • Itaca HolidayOperatorWritten March 2026

      The cost for the adventure to Abu Simbel is $130 USD per person. The upgrade to a sleeping train from Cairo to Aswan and Luxor to Cairo is available at $210 USD per person. Abu Simbel is truly a remarkable destination, renowned for its stunning ancient temples that are a testament to Egypt's rich history and architectural marvels.

    Asked on February 4th, 2026

    What are the hours that the tour starts and finishes on the first and last day?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Itaca HolidayOperatorWritten February 2026

      For the first day of the tour, arrival is scheduled for Monday, 16 November 2026. They can arrive at any time during that day. Hotel check-in is from around 2:00 PM. The first day is for arrival, transfer to the hotel, and rest — there are no scheduled tours on this day.

      The sightseeing officially starts on Day 2. Pickup for the Cairo tour will be around 8:00 AM. They will check out from the hotel in the morning, complete the full day of sightseeing, and in the evening they will be transferred to the train station to take the overnight train to Aswan.

      On the final day of the tour (Day 7), the overnight train returns to Cairo early in the morning, usually around 7:00 AM. For departure flights, we strongly recommend booking flights no earlier than 12:00 PM to allow enough time for arrival, transfer, and a comfortable margin.
