Luxor is a city in Upper (southern) Egypt. It has about one million inhabitants. As the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, Luxor is often referred to as "the world's largest open-air museum", and the ruins of the Karnak and Luxor temple complexes are located within the modern city. Across the river, on the other bank of the Nile, there are monuments, temples and tombs, which include the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. Millions of tourists from all over the world come to visit these monuments every year, and their presence is the economic foundation of this city. This is why Luxor is a favorite base for trips to Upper Egypt, and is a favorite tourist destination in its own right, both as a starting and ending stop for Nile cruises.
Aswan - The city located on the cataract next to the Great Aswan Dam bears the symbol of a trading capital during the Middle Ages, and during the time of the ancient Egyptians it was the capital of the Nubian part of Egypt. Many writers wrote their works at the Cataract Hotel, located next to Kitcherin Island on the Nile. There is also a quarry here, where the material was extracted for many architectural giants-monuments that still stand the test of time in locations throughout Egypt. Tourists must also visit the Botanical Garden, which impressed many rulers who conquered this territory.
KomOmbo owes its name to the Egyptian name Nubt ('City of Gold'), which emphasizes its important role in the trade of that precious metal. It is located next to the town of the same name, Ombos. The Temple of Kom Ombo is a cultic structure that was dedicated to the deities Sobek with the crocodile head and (Haroeris) Horus with the falcon head. Today, around 60.000 peasants live here, most of whom are Nubians who were settled here when the Aswan Dam was built.
Edfu - A place that bears the name of a temple that also originates from the Ptolemaic era and is dedicated to the deity Horus. A large number of carriages and peasant-traders make this place interesting for tourists who come here by boat.

Full board service (breakfast, lunch, dinner - buffet). Drinks and everything not mentioned will be paid for later. Only bottled water is bought and the price of drinks is higher compared to other prices in Egypt). The cabins are very small, they are located on the 1st, 2nd and last floor below the deck and a certain number are below the water level. Cabins do not have terraces.
•Due to a change in the ship's departure date and a smaller number of passengers on board, it is possible to change the order of the program. If there is not a sufficient number of passengers for certain optional excursions, it is possible not to carry them out. Excursions are organized by an external partner.
• In case of less than 10 passengers for this arrangement, instead of a translator in our language, the group will be accompanied by a representative of the partner agency in Egypt and a licensed guide in English. The name of the 5* ship on which the group will be accommodated will be announced upon arrival in Luxor. Transfers in case of a smaller number of passengers are organized by air-conditioned tourist cars or minibuses.
•Discounts for children are valid when accompanied by a minimum of two adults, unless otherwise indicated in the price list.
• Additional beds in rooms that can accommodate more than two people can be armchairs or pull-out sofas with smaller dimensions than a standard bed.
• The designation of the hotel category in the program is officially determined and valid on the day of the conclusion of the contract between the organizer and the foreign partner. Possible subsequent changes that are not known to the organizer cannot be relevant. The number of stars in our brochure is given by the hotels according to the official Egyptian national categorization.
• Rooms are assigned at the hotel by the reception upon arrival. Agency 1 A Travel will forward your requests and wishes, but is not able to guarantee them (floor space, view, type of bed, exact location within the hotel complex, etc., distance from the beach, restaurants, etc., if the type and type of room is not clearly and specifically highlighted in the offer). Pictures of the rooms in the catalog and on the website are provided for information. Most hotels have several types of rooms, so hotel accommodation does not have to be in the room pictured. Accommodation is in standard (double) rooms, unless otherwise stated.
• All rooms in all hotels in Egypt offered by 1 A Travel are air-conditioned. However, the air conditioning system is different and depends on the hotel policy and the season. In some hotels, the rooms are not air-conditioned 24 hours a day. Hoteliers reserve the right to limit air conditioning to a certain number of hours a day, depending on weather conditions.
•A certain number of hotels offer rooms with a sea view at a special price or with an appropriate supplement. Only in those hotels can 1 A Travel guarantee accommodation in a room with a sea view. In other hotels, such rooms are available upon request and cannot be guaranteed. It should also be taken into account the fact that such architectural solutions and shapes (arched or triangular) were chosen for hotels in Egypt so that as many rooms as possible face the sea. Therefore, the rooms that are stated to have a sea view, in most cases have a side view of the sea, not a direct one. Rooms with double beds exist in a certain number of hotels and their availability cannot be guaranteed. A certain number of hotels have part of the rooms in the main building, the other part in the club or annex. If the price list emphasizes the location of the room, then it is guaranteed, if it is not, then it cannot be guaranteed and the "Run of house" rule applies, that is, the reception determines the location of the room according to availability at the time of the guests' arrival.
• Entry into the hotel rooms is planned after 15:00 on the first day, and leaving the rooms on the last day by 10:00 at the latest. Any use of rooms and services in the hotel after the defined time requires additional payments that are made directly at the hotel reception.
• In all hotels, the service is based on the principle of self-service - a choice of several dishes according to the hotel's terms, unless otherwise specified and agreed upon. The hotel's rule is that due to the insufficient number of passengers, in some periods a menu is served instead of a buffet table, which does not affect the quality of the service provided.
• In the case of evening and night flights, depending on the availability and permission of the airline, the meal on the plane replaces the meal at the hotel. In the case of a late evening flight and arriving at the hotel after dinner, the first meal is on the plane and most hotels in that case do not serve dinner and do not compensate for the meal on the last day. The content of the All Inclusive service is different from hotel to hotel and guests start using the service from the moment they check in to the hotel, and end with the All Inclusive service when they check out of the room.
•Dress code is mandatory during meals in all hotels (prohibition of entry in bathing suits and shorts, formal way of dressing).
• The travel organizer reserves the right to make changes in the travel program (order of individual contents in the program) depending on the objective circumstances.
• The duration of the transfer from Hurghada airport to the hotel depends on the number of passengers who have a transfer to different hotels in the same region.
•Each passenger is required to have a valid travel document and is required to provide the passport number when registering for travel at the point of sale. Travelers who are not citizens of Serbia are obliged to familiarize themselves with the visa regime of the country they are traveling to. The Agency does not value the validity of the travel document, is not responsible for its validity and is not responsible in case the border authorities prevent the passenger from crossing. In the case of not obtaining a visa, the traveler is considered to have abandoned the trip, and the costs of the cancellation are charged according to the General Travel Conditions.
• Flight times are preliminary and are subject to change depending on traffic conditions (availability of aircraft at the airline, congestion at the Belgrade and destination airports), which can be difficult in the summer season. The flight time is confirmed two days before the trip and the passengers are then informed about it. The flight time for the return flight is communicated to the passengers by the representative personally, through a notice board or a written message, usually one day before the return. We ask passengers to check all times at the agency or with an agency representative. The price of the trip is calculated according to the number of overnight stays. The moment of departure from Belgrade counts as the beginning of the arrangement, and the departure from Egypt as the end of the arrangement. The agency is obliged to perform these take-offs on the days specified in the program. The number of days specified in the program includes the first (day of departure) and the last day (day of return). All departure and return dates are listed in the price list tables. There are no seat classes on flights like on regular lines. It is not possible to reserve a specific seat on the plane in advance.
• Travel documentation (vouchers and airline tickets) can be picked up at the agency, 2 days before the departure date.
• Passengers can carry up to 20 kg of checked-in baggage and one bag as hand luggage. Scissors, manicure sets and other sharp metal objects, as well as any kind of liquid, are not allowed in hand luggage, which is prescribed by the rules of order and business of all airlines. The tour operator assumes no responsibility for lost, damaged or stolen luggage. Passengers exercise all their rights in relation to lost or damaged luggage by contacting the carrier or accommodation service provider directly, according to international or domestic regulations and applicable regulations.
•Airline personnel have the right to refuse boarding to a pregnant woman at their own discretion, unless she has a medical certificate certifying that she is fit to fly. Those certificates have a validity period, so you should pay attention to that both when you leave for the trip and when you return.
• The organizer is not responsible for the implementation of optional local excursions organized by foreign partners
• 1 A Travel representatives and transfer buses await passengers at the airport in Egypt and have agency markings for easy identification. The regulations do not allow the representatives to gather a group in the airport building, so passengers are waiting immediately after leaving the building or in the parking lot. Due to the large number of hotels and passengers, it is sometimes not possible for a representative to escort all passengers to the reception. The representative visits all hotels within 48 hours of arrival. The representative will leave his phone number on the bulletin board, through an info letter, or in another way and inform travelers about the times of info-meetings and excursions. In case of any problem, passengers are asked to inform the representative about it at the first info-meeting or by phone on the first days of their stay, so that it can be dealt with. Complaints due to problems that the agency learns about on the last day of the stay or upon the passenger's return will not be considered.
• The arrangement was made on the basis of a minimum of 20 passengers per arrangement "Nile Cruise, Vacation in Hurghada and Cairo" and 100 passengers per plane.
