4-day Nile cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel and Karnak, plus a sunrise hot-air balloon over the Valley of Kings. Meals included.

The rooms are pretty small which I think is ok, just calling it out. 3. There is extremely heavy tipping culture, you cannot tip based on your choice and experience. If you do they call out…”
