Getting to
Luxor / Aswan
Luxor and Aswan are both easily accessible, whether you are traveling from abroad or from another destination in Egypt.

If you are coming from an international destination, please note that you will usually need to stay one night in Cairo, and to depart for Luxor or Aswan the following morning.

Flights from Cairo to Luxor take 50 minutes, and from Cairo to Aswan 90 minutes. Alternatively, you can travel from Cairo to Luxor by sleeper train (Wagon Lit) on an overnight trip.

There are various travel options from destinations in Egypt: there are buses from Hurghada (about 4 hours) and Marsa Alam (about 6 hours).

Our team will be happy to help you co-ordinate your travel arrangements. Your trip to Egypt has many possibilities - you can combine different destinations within Egypt and mix cultural sightseeing with a beach resort holiday. For example, you could take one of our cruises between Luxor and Aswan, and then experience the wonders of the Red Sea with a hotel stay with one of our sister resort companies: Iberotel and Solymar. The choice is yours.
