    Thing is, the Times website itself says (where it gives you a hint to the answer)

    " Take away the dams, the locks and the cruising ships that ply the 235km (145mile) stretch of the Nile from Luxor to Aswan"

    Stewpid search engine - I searched for holiday egypt and only a couple came up - none of which was this one!!!!

    Ah well - came up as i already entered as well - which is weird as it only started today!!!

    kipper gave me the best advice on searching - search first with the url and then one word. Still get probs and I'll do a duplicate, but it does work - usually!

    In the second of our adventure giveaways, Times Online teams up with Peregrine Adventures - leaders in small group adventure travel for 30 years - to offer an outstanding 9-day introduction to Egyptian history.
    On this fascinating journey through the Nile Valley, the winner and a friend will explore the highlights of Cairo including the Egyptian Museum, the pyramids and Sphinx, then take a sleeper train to Luxor.
    Riding on a horse-drawn carriage, they will explore Karnak Temple then cross the Nile to the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut and Colossi of Memnon.
    A relaxing cruise south on the Nile allows for timeless views and the chance to visit the riverside temples of Edfu and Komombo before arriving in laid-back Aswan for a visit to Abu Simbel before returning to Cairo’s intriguing medieval quarter.

    This prize for two, and includes: return international economy flights from London to Cairo, 8 nights accommodation (3 on riverboat, 3 in hotels and 2 on air-conditioned sleeper train), Peregrine tour leader, local guides, arrival transfer, transport, sightseeing and entrance fees, all breakfasts, 3 lunches and 5 dinners Time of travel is subject to availability. It is the winners responsibility to ensure they have a valid passport and any necessary visas and vaccinations.


    To enter the competition, answer this question: how long (in miles) is the stretch of the Nile from Luxor to Aswan?


    Answer 145miles

    **Sorry did several searches -but didn't show up.**
