Why travellers choose this itinerary

- Deliberate free half-days rather than fourteen consecutive touring mornings.
- Separate mornings for Luxor's east and west banks, with time inside each site.

Suitability and accessibility
- Physical requirements
- Moderate: sustained touring over two weeks with 2 to 4 miles walking on most days, two or three early starts, several internal flights, and long open-air heat exposure between April and October. Rest half-days are built in.
- Recommended ages
- Suitable from around age 10 upward; frequently booked by travelers in their 60s and 70s. Child pricing and reduced-pace alternatives are available on request.
- Mobility and accessibility
- Many ancient sites have uneven paving, sand, steps and no handrails, and some interiors cannot be adapted. We can arrange wheelchair-friendly vehicles, extra assistance and alternative viewing points at most locations, but a small number of tombs and interiors remain inaccessible. Tell us your requirements before booking and we will confirm in writing what is and is not possible on this route.
- Medical and pregnancy notes
- Heat, dust and long days can affect travelers with cardiac, respiratory or mobility conditions. Bring your own medication in original packaging. Pregnant travelers should seek medical advice before booking, and adventure, diving and balloon activities are generally not suitable during pregnancy.
- Dietary requirements
- Vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher-style, gluten-free and allergy-related requirements can be catered for at hotels, on the river and on private meals when notified in advance. Severe allergies should be declared at the time of booking so we can brief every supplier.
- Weather and seasonality
- Best travel months for this route are October, November, December, January, February, March, April. Summer daytime temperatures in Upper Egypt and the desert can exceed 40C, so summer departures are re-timed to start earlier and rest through the afternoon.
- Dress and cultural notes
- Egypt is a conservative country outside beach resorts. Lightweight clothing covering shoulders and knees is appropriate at religious sites, and closed walking shoes are strongly recommended for temples and desert ground. Your guide will brief you on photography rules at each site.
