The best time for a cruise on the Nile

Egypt tourism

Source of prosperity and life, one of the unforgettable tours on a trip to Egypt is through the Nile river, whether on boats or safaris off its shores, which is one of the great attractions for tourists.

The truth is that the best time to go on a Nile cruise is between October and April. Temperatures are not too hot during this time of year.

Keep in mind that the heat in Aswan and Luxor is intense and travel is not recommended during the peak summer months of June to August. Average temperatures hover around the 100 degree Fahrenheit (40 C) mark.

It should be added that many tours depart from the city of Luxor that include a cruise on the Nile to Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo to Aswan. Either way, you will have to spend at least 3 or 4 nights on the cruise.

The truth is that a Nile cruise is the only way tourists can see some of Egypt's best antiquities. There are many boats to choose from and your budget will determine how luxurious you can travel. The most luxurious cabins will be large, have air conditioning, a private bathroom and a TV that can cost up to US $ 300 per night.

Most cruises offer nightly entertainment on board that can include belly dancers, dancers and Disco Party dancers, which is also a popular theme.

If a floating hotel isn't to your liking, try the felucca. There are tours that include a cruise on the Nile in one of these ancient sailing ships. It will not be as comfortable as a large cruise ship, but it will certainly provide more adventure.
