Abu Simbel is the star here: four huge figures of Ramses II cut into a sandstone cliff, followed by the smaller temple built for Queen Nefertari. You then move north to Luxor for a sunrise hot-air balloon ride and a concentrated tour of Egypt’s great tombs and temples.

I like that the package joins two hard-to-reach highlights in one trip, and I like the practical inclusions: flights, hotel, transfers, guides, breakfast, entrance fees, and the balloon ride. The main trade-off is pace. Two days is short, and the early flights, long road transfer, train journey, and 4:30 AM balloon start leave little room for rest.
