Nile River Cruises

Nile river cruises operate during the cooler months from October through April, making this the prime season for exploring Egypt's ancient wonders. The weather during these months is more comfortable for sightseeing, allowing you to spend time discovering the temples and historical sites that line the river.

The Nile offers access to two major ports where you can experience Egypt's most significant attractions. Aswan features the Unfinished Obelisk, Nubian Museum, and Aswan Botanical Garden. Luxor is home to Luxor Temple, Karnak, and the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut.
