Why it's a deal: We priced out this multicity itinerary on Kayak and found a $1,080 fare for travel in late April (EgyptAir). For $557 more, including all taxes, this package covers the airfare, the three-night hotel stay, the three-night Nile cruise, and all transfers — in one booking.

More: Add nights in Cairo from $59 per person per night. There are also some optional tours available, like a sound and light show in Cairo that starts at $40 per person.
