For travellers who want the highlights without rushing, this private 10 day Egypt tour combines three nights in Cairo with a four-night Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. You see the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum, ride the sleeper train south, then cruise past Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae – with two unhurried days back in Cairo at the end.
