Fly or take the sleeper train to Luxor and Aswan?An hour in the air against a night on the rails — and what each one costs you in sleep.
Nile cruise or land tour?Between Luxor and Aswan, the boat wins — and the reason is not the boat.
Dahabiya or cruise ship?Eight cabins under sail against a hundred and forty with an engine.
Luxor or Aswan?One is the greatest concentration of monuments on earth. The other is where you breathe.
Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum?One is the new wonder. The other is the hundred-year-old attic, and it is not the lesser one.
Sharm el-Sheikh or Hurghada?Better reefs on one side, better access to everything else on the other.
