Half a day, sea or temples?

The city tour is the shortest and stays in town: the Great Mosque, the Coptic church and the aquarium. Giftun is a day at sea with snorkelling. Luxor is the only one that reaches the temples, but it makes for a very long day, with about four hours on the road each way according to the listing.
