Recovery & care
Luxor & Aswan
Upper Egypt's therapy retreats, where convalescence meets the world's greatest open-air heritage. Dry, warm air and the slow rhythm of a curated Nile cruise make Luxor and Aswan a restful place to heal after surgery in Cairo. A short domestic flight brings you here for the gentlest possible recovery — temples and river by day, an early night every night.

Know before you fly
The practical details — sorted, so the only thing you plan is getting better.

Language
Arabic. English is common in tourism and on the cruises; our coordinators work in EN/AR/FR throughout.
Climate
Hot, very dry desert air — easy on healing chests and skin. Oct–Mar is ideal (warm, comfortable days); Apr–Sep is hot (38°C+), so outings stay early and shaded.

EET, UTC+2. Two hours ahead of London, one behind the Gulf.
Power
220V, Type C/F plugs (European two-prong). Cruise cabins and hotels provide universal adaptors on request.
Things to do

An early, shaded morning at Karnak or Luxor Temple, with the car close and rest built in.

The Valley of the Kings or Philae Temple at Aswan, at an easy pace, if your surgeon has cleared the day.
