  Traveler•Written December 2024
  We're thinking of spending a few days in Hurghada after the trip. Is this something you can organise, or perhaps we can leave the train at Luxor and take a bus instead of returning to Cairo.
- Egypt cruise travelOperator•Written December 2024
  Yes sure, We can book bus from Aswan to Hurghada. In Hurghada we can arrange Diving or Safari trip

  Donald
  Traveler•Written December 2024
  So could we exchange the return train journey for the bus trip? And have a hotel in Hurghada instead of in Cairo?
- Egypt cruise travelOperator•Written December 2024
  Sure I can change train to bus. And hotel in Hurghada will cost you extra 120$ for 2 nights
