Asked on January 10th, 2023What would the additional cost be for flight to Aswan? Would you stay in Cairo or Aswan for the extra night? When will the info for March 2024 show?
Encounters TravelOperator•Written January 2023The flight upgrade is priced at US$145 per person, per way. We offer internal flight upgrades which would be a domestic flight and extra hotel night in Aswan (Cairo to Aswan leg) or domestic flight and extra hotel night back in Cairo (Luxor to Cairo leg).

Traveler•Written January 2023The kids are actually teenagers. 3 16 year olds, and 6 adults. We will definitely be taking the flights. I did the sleeper cars 20 years ago and they were terrible. I didn't sleep at all.
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written January 2023
It would make for an amazing 16th birthday present! We look forward to hearing from you once our 2024 dates are online.
