See it before you go and spend a lot of money! This is the "standard" tour of Egypt that flies into Cairo, visits the area, including Alexandra, then fly to Luxor to see the Valley of the Kings and other temples. Then you board a cruise ship up the Nile to Aswan to see the dam and other temples there. We flew to Abu Simbel to see other temples in southern Egypt, then flying back. Its safe most of the time.
