Questions

FAQ

Four nights sailing south (Luxor to Aswan) or three nights north (Aswan to Luxor), visiting the same temples either way.
Karnak and Luxor Temples and the Valley of the Kings at Luxor; Edfu and Kom Ombo en route; and Philae and the High Dam at Aswan.
Both cover the same sites. Southbound (Luxor to Aswan) is a night longer and a little more relaxed; northbound is slightly quicker.
