If you want to make this a 9-day tour, running from Saturday to Sunday, and fitting into your children's half-term holiday, then the tour itinerary is designed to allow this. You take the overnight sleeper train back to Cairo in the evening of Day 8 (Saturday), arriving in Cairo in the morning on Day 9 (Sunday). We will provide a day-use hotel room until we transfer you to the airport for an afternoon flight home. Alternatively, you can fly back from Luxor to Cairo in the evening on Day 8 (Saturday) and take any flight home on Day 9 (Sunday).
This discount option covers the cost of the short tour, dinner cruise and overnight hotel room that you will not use in Cairo on Day 9.
