7–8 days.
Suitable for most fitness levels; expect short to moderate walks on uneven surfaces and stairs at archaeological sites.
Itineraries commonly list the hot air balloon as an early-morning optional activity; availability is weather-dependent and may require separate booking or supplement—confirm with the operator.
The program lists many site visits but notes that some admissions may not be included; budget for entry tickets to sites like the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel and verify inclusions before travel.
Abu Simbel is often offered as an optional long-day excursion; it requires an early departure and road transfer or flight depending on the operator—expect a full-day commitment if you choose it.
According to the booking policy, full refunds are available if you cancel at least 24 hours before scheduled departure; check the operator’s current terms for any changes.
