Traveling to Luxor    and Cairo from Aswan is a long journey by land, but it can be shortened if you fly. However, the travel time is still quite lengthy.


 What if there was an option where you could cut down your travel time by two days? Imagine how much more you'd see on your trip!


Take a train from Aswan to Luxor! This unique rail route takes passengers through some of Egypt's    most famous sites including Karnak Temple and the Valley of Kings, as well as lesser-known ones like the Colossi of Memnon and Hatshepsut's temple at Deir el Bahri. The experience is completed with a flight from Luxor to Cairo with views over the Nile River  . Now that's what we call efficiency!
