I went to egypt last year on a 7day nile cruise with thomsons. it was worth the money. i visited the vally of the kings. hatshepsuts temple. then the rest of the trip sailed the nile visiting the other temples. i did'nt have enough money to do Cairo or Abu simbel, but i was quite happy with the nile cruise.

I recomend the cruise. and they say 3 days is enough in Cairo. to visit the pyramids and a must i suppose the Musium..
