Its impossible for us to know why you are doing something,if you don't say it ;-)

Anyway,if the itinerary is fixed,unchangeable..then either Addo (small budget)or Shamwari (large budget).

If you don't want to drive,and you have the money...Shamwari.

Bonito does need a healthy budget. I didn't like Bonito but I was on a backpacker budget and it just wasn't viable to do a lot of the activities (the costs add up immensely).

Buzios/AdC I find is crowded in the summer months. But so is anywhere with a beach in the summer months in Brasil. When are you going OP?

I agree with Rokatoo. Salvador isn't a place to go to the 'beach'. Its great for a culture. If beach time is what you want head south from there and the coast has some great treasures to find.

Again, really depends what you are after. Also with 30 days and already confirmed/booked 5 locations. I would maybe only add 1-2 more places if that.

Well it's hard to say, because we don't know what effect Brexit will have on the British £. So far the signs are not hopeful for the British.

Finding cheap but acceptably comfortable lodgings and traveling by bus or train, for Cambodia, Laos or Thailand, plus seeing tourist sites, I'd guess minimum $30 per day or £25 at current exchange rates. And spending more than that if you want to use lots of taxis instead of walking. You might possibly do parts of Vietnam cheaper, because cheaper lodgings there. But you need to increase that budget for places like Angkor Wat in Cambodia, or a Halong Bay islands tour in Vietnam.

But regardless it's hard to see how the £5000 budget would not do the job.

Thanks for this, much appreciated

I don't know Borneo but I think you will just do it for Sumatera. Say $10 for a room and food and then local transport; then long distance transport (like flights to Bali etc) and an occasional beer.

You have gone from "we" to "I" -- have you changed the number of people or budget. Rooms are assume to be shared; transport, food and beers are not. Budget was for 2 people.

Day 1 - Cairo - Focus on Islamic/Old Cairo and Coptic Cairo. Use Carem or Uber. It is quite cheap--particularly if you travel against the traffic--and you mitigate have to "negotiate"--it's Egypt.

Day 2 - Giza/Pyramids, then overnight train to Aswan. Expensive but you maximize your time. Check Air Arabia for potential cheap fare. Must book your train ticket in advance, particularly if you want first-class.

Day 3-4 - Aswan/ Abu Simel. Aswan was a disappointment for me. More expensive than Luxor and Cairo, and you need transport to reach tourist sites. Aswan to Abu Simbel is at least 3 hours by car. Public transport is limited, unreliable, and they may not allow foreign tourists to ride public buses. Most go there as day trip from Aswan. You get up at 3:30AM, take ferry from Elephant Island (most tourists stay on this island) to mainland to catch van around 4-5AM to Aswan. Get to Abu Simbel around 7-8AM, where you have 45-60 mins to see the magnificent site before heading back to Aswan by 12-13 hour. If you choose this option, you can catch evening train to Luxor.

Day 5-6 - Luxor/ Valley of the Kings. Bob Marley and Happy Land Luxor are 2 best budget accommodations in Luxor. Bob Marley is co-owned by an Aussie, its patrons are more social. But the young man who manage the place can be abrasive and cordial in seconds. Sofra is the place to eat. Cover Karnak first since Luxor Temple is open until 20 hour.

Luxor's West side have too many sites to cover in 1-2 days, so you need to prioritize what you want to see. For me, Habu and Ramesseum worth the money and time. Very few people visit the latter. Valley of the Kings is the farthest point so go there first thing in the morning if you do plan to visit that place. Research and identify the tombs you want to see in advance. If you're into Egyptology, consider splurging on one of its surcharged tombs.
