    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.

    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.

    Clare

    Asked on January 19th, 2026

    How much walking is required for this tour (per day)? As my wife cannot walk long distance, are there other modes of transportation (car, electric vehicle, donkey, camel, etc.?)

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Itaca HolidayOperatorWritten January 2026

      Overall, the tour does not require long or continuous walking on a daily basis. The pace is relaxed, and there are always opportunities to take breaks.

      At sites such as museums, there are benches and seating areas available throughout the visit, so your wife can rest whenever needed.
      Most sightseeing locations are accessed by private vehicle, and walking is limited to short distances within each site.

      The main site where a bit more walking may be involved is Karnak Temple. However, please note that a significant part of the distance is covered by electric vehicles, which greatly reduces the amount of walking required.
      The same applies to Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, where access and movement can also be assisted to minimize walking.

      Additionally, visits can always be adjusted by exploring sites at a comfortable pace, spending more time in one place rather than walking continuously, and limiting the walking to the most important highlights.

      Everything can be managed and adapted according to your wife's comfort, and our guides are always informed to be attentive and flexible.
