A useful outline, but not a fixed sequence

The description places the Cairo pickup at 3:00 and the scheduled arrival in Aswan at 6:00. It also mentions a 10:30 departure towards Abu Simbel.

The sources disagree on the order of Abu Simbel, Philae and the dam, while one review describes Luxor before Aswan. Treat the itinerary as a guide and confirm the sequence on GetYourGuide.
