Can I see Abu Simbel in a short trip from Cairo?
Yes. With flights to and from Aswan, Abu Simbel fits into one day, which is what makes this 4-day tour work.

Can I add Luxor?

How can I save on an Egypt trip?
Travel in summer or shoulder months, take the train, share a private tour and choose standard hotels. See our budget travel guide.
