    Are the tours private or in a group?

    Yes, they are private – in other words, you visit the temples with your own guide, not in a large group.

    Can I add Abu Simbel or a hot air balloon?

    Yes. For example, Abu Simbel, a Luxor hot air balloon, a felucca ride, a Nubian village visit and the Botanical Garden are available at extra cost on request.

    How much does it cost?

    From USD 875 per person; however, the final price depends on season, cabin type and length. So, send an enquiry for a confirmed price.
