    Getting TO/AROUND: After a brief stay in Aswan, we sailed off into the sunset on a boat, for a 3 day Nile Cruise, which ended in Luxor.

    There are plenty of these cruise boats on the river, and the majority cruise from Luxor to Aswan, or vice versa.

    Our boat was called the "Nile Bride", and slept about 150 people. There was a restaurant, bar and a roof top with a pool and plenty of chairs to sit in the sun, relax and watch the banks for the Nile pass by.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and the whole experience was great - highly recommended!

    Transportation: Fly to/from Luxor

    Getting TO/AROUND: One way to get to/from Luxor is by plane. EgyptAir fly from Luxor to Cairo, Aswan and Abu Simbel (to name a few places).

    Once our Nile Cruise ended, we flew from Luxor to Cairo, which took around 40 minutes.

    However, expect delays when you travel in Egypt.......

    Our early morning flight was delayed due to smog in Cairo - the airport there was shut.....but the pilot didn't find this out until we had taxied out to the runway. We then turned back, and sat on the tarmac for over 4 hours!!

    We were unable to leave the plane, as the small terminal building was filled with passengers waiting to depart on other flights... what fun!
