“Classic” Egypt tour package from Toronto?

OK, you're right, 2 girls in Egypt : better staying in the standard tourism...

Many liveaboard accept non-divers and make a special price.

Don't be afraid, but like in most of the middle east countries, you'll be often harassed by shop vendors, people in the street in touristic places, etc Even your guide will propose you to visit "a good friend's shop who has authentic papyrus"...
Be firm and polite and everthing will be ok.

i can recommend to take a flight from Cairo to Abu Simbel. You have the choice to overnight in abu simbel and explore more or return to Aswan on the same flight.
Stay one or more night in Aswan, then join Nile cruise to Luxor.
We're quite happy with Soneta cruise - good food and great service but I heard there's many other cruise offer similar or better service.
Luxor and Karnak temple are also amazing at night, so worth to stay for one or two nights before transferred to Safaga or Hurghada to get wet. You can either diving / snorkeling at house reef at safaga resor or day boat from Hurghada or El Gouna. From here then you can catch the flight back to Cairo.
I always recommend to end the Egypt trip to visit the Egyptian museum.
We live in Cairo, so far have visited the Egyptian museum 3x and still want to go there again.
Many TO will be able to arrange those trip

Hi @Wisnu

What's happening with the new Egyptian Museum?

 

[Wisnu]

hi @scubadada
The new museum still not open yet. Hopefully end of this year. Massive and modern building. They start to relocate some artifacts to new museum.
So, if you visit the museum now, you'll notice some artifacts are not in place.

Thanks @Wisnu

My wife and I loved the old museum, but, more room and better display conditions will be really great. We were there in early 2016, delay in opening is not a surprise.

and British Museum will not give back what they have before a long time...
