Frequently Asked Questions.
The weather is warm yet bearable from October to April, making this time of year ideal for a Nile cruise. Due to average daytime highs far above 40 °C in June, July, and August, temple visits during these months may be unpleasant.
Most cruises on the Nile are between three and seven nights long. However, this varies widely based on price and itinerary. Aswan, Kom-Ombo, and Luxor are just a few of the stops on a three-night tour, while the four-night option includes additional visits, including the temples of Edfu.
Lake Nasser, one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, was named after former Egyptian president Gamal Abdul Nasser. To create a lake of 550 kilometers (340 miles) in length, President Nasser chose to construct the Aswan High Dam across the Nile.
Taking a trip down the Nile is the most incredible way to see the ancient Egyptian sites that line its banks, so the answer is yes. An excursion on the Nile is highly recommended.
