Overview
Four days on the Nile between Luxor and Aswan. Temples are visited in river order, so the history reads as a sequence instead of a checklist. Days start early for the heat. Evenings are on deck, not in another coach.
Expect strong sun, modest dress at religious sites, and guides who know which courtyard is in shade. A hat and a refillable bottle matter more than extra camera gear. Cairo can be added before or after; it is not packed into this cruise.
