Optional tour to Abu Simbel for $290 from Cairo - worth it? Posted: Mon March 21, 2005 09:11 PM UTC
I will be on an 8-day tour of Egypt with a Nile cruise included and there is an option for $290 to fly to Abu Simbel from Cairo instead of directly to Aswan, to visit the temple and then fly to Aswan that night to meet back up with the tour group. Is it worth the price?
If we didn't do that, we would be "taking a leisurely sailing trip on a felucca passing the Lord Kitchener's Botanical Garden and the Aga Khan Mausoleum." Doesn't sound as if we go in, just pass. Not sure if that sounds very exciting or worthwhile to spend the day??
Should we spring for the optional trip?
Thanks for your advise in advance!
