The single-room rates are for a booking party of two or more where one traveller needs a room to themselves — three friends, for example, where two share and one does not. If you are travelling completely on your own, please do not book at these rates. Message us first and we will quote you properly.
Optional extras
- Abu Simbel from Aswan — $180 per person. The Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Temple of Nefertari, by road with an early start. Add it at checkout, or ask us to quote the flight instead.
- Hot air balloon over Luxor — $100 per person. A sunrise flight over the Valley of the Kings, about 45 minutes in the air. Add it at checkout. Flights depend on the weather and are refunded if they cannot fly.
Abu Simbel and the balloon can be added to your booking on the checkout screen, after you choose your package. Nothing here is built into the fare, so you are never charged for something you will not use.
