From Cairo to Aswan by sleeper train and back from Luxor.
The sleeper train runs overnight between Cairo and Upper Egypt, so you travel while you sleep. Here is how the trip works.
The overnight train leaves Giza in the evening and reaches Aswan the next morning. Cabins have two beds, and dinner and breakfast are served on board. It is a classic way to travel along the Nile.
In Aswan you visit the High Dam and Philae, sail on a felucca, and drive south to the great temples of Abu Simbel.
On the way north you stop at Kom Ombo and Edfu, then see both banks of Luxor: the Valley of the Kings and Karnak.
October to April is the best season. In summer Aswan and Luxor are very hot, so visits start early.
