    Thank-you for taking the time to leave a review. After reading your review , we can see that you main issue is the sleeper train which is only one sleeper train company around Egypt , no company have a choice for it , we only can upgrade the train to be 1 hour flight each way for extra cost which you didn't choose for going or return , for all the tour detail it is already as mentioned in the itinerary and as our operator explained for you day by day when you arrived , otherwise no way to visit Aswan , Kom Ombo , Edful , Luxie and Abu simbel in 4 days , it is very classic Nile cruise itinerary in Egypt , It was a pleasure showing you around.” Stay Safe :), Egypt Best Holidays Team
