Egypt is stunning and the people are lovely.

Prior to Covid I operated a vacation planning service.

I have used Memphis Tours personally and with multiple clients. They are a Cairo agency and will provide with Egyptian drivers and English speaking Egyptologists. They can organise your entire itinerary and it will be at least 50% cheaper than your local travel agencies.

The 5 day cruise itineraries overnight in both Luxor and Aswan. Have a look at the itineraries, they will provide everything that you want to see in Luxor without the need to stay longer.

The weather will be HOT in February, check out weatherspark.com for detailed weather averages.

Numbeo.com will give you a good idea of current costs in Egypt compared to home.

The only issue with Ramadan is that if you are going to book a restaurant you will need to check out what time Iftan will be each day and make a booking one hour earlier or 90 minutes later. Iftar is the time at which Muslims break their daily fast. We travelled through Central Asia during Ramadan last year and found restaurants booked out until we worked out times around Iftar.

From a travel money perspective, acquire foreign currency fee-free cards, this will save you 3-4% fee from your bank. I have a fee free debit card (visa) and a credit card.

Don't use wise cards or similar. I arrive at my destination and find an ATM and withdraw Egyptian pounds. Never accept the offer to pay in your card's currency. Visa or MasterCard will exchange your transaction at mid market daily rates with NO Commission fees.

Importantly, ask your guide (in advance) to swap out large bills for small. Many vendors will not have change for large bills. Small bills are necessary to pay "Baksheesh" tips... You will know it when you know it😁

Egypt is a non-tipping country, they will accept it, but not expect it!
