My usual travel buddy isn’t available. I’m looking for someone to join me from February 13th to 28th in Egypt for a classic trip off the beaten path—Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria, and Abu Simbel.

Hi everyone! I’m heading to Egypt this coming February for the third time, and I’d love to sail up the Nile from Aswan for 2 days and 2 nights on a felucca. Traveling with a backpack, I’m not looking for luxury and prefer stops in the cultures and villages along the Nile rather than temples (already visited). For example, I’d like to stop at Daraw for the Tuesday livestock market. What are your similar experiences, and how far can we sail upstream in 2 days? Also, what kind of prices can we expect, given we’ll be 2 adults and 2 teens? Finally, is it better to book in advance or on the spot in Aswan without spending too much time there? Thanks in advance
