Hmm... if you are doing half of cruise with the aim of saving (but fast, effective, cheap is my favourite way of doing things, too) 
you'd better check beforehand what this saving will cost for you in the end.
On the other hand, it is maybe not so difficult to agree with a car/tour owner in Aswan to come pick you up from Abu Simbel for less than the price of one night on boat, or something? You can pay something beforehand to make sure they understand you are serious (because tourists break promises more often than egyptians, i think). Or take camels from Abu Simbel? You'll help diffuse prosperity from the big tour&transport companies straight into hands of simple Egyptian families!
And it is a land where only women use the word "la", after all, right??
