Eli Orzessek finds the answers to your travel questions.
We intend to visit Egypt at the beginning of October, flying to Cairo, taking the overnight sleeper to Aswan, then a riverboat down to Luxor, which we will explore at leisure.
Do you have any advice about the Aswan-Luxor riverboats? There seem to be dozens of them, and it is confusing trying to decide. Would it be realistic to just go to Aswan and choose one on the spot, or is it advisable to book in advance?

This does sound like a confusing prospect. As it's not something I've experienced myself, I've reached out to my contacts at Flight Centre to get a few tips for you.
They say that booking in advance is definitely the way to go — this will increase your chances of securing the experience you're after and any special facilities you might require.
