FAQ
What is the best month for a Nile cruise?
The best time to cruise the Nile river is between October and April. During these months the weather is not too hot, meaning you can get the most out of your day trips to the iconic sights from Luxor to Aswan.
What makes a Nile cruise so popular?
Part of that is tradition, and part of it is practicality; after all, many of the most famous sites are located directly on the river, making a cruise the easiest way to travel between them. At night, many of the temples and monuments are illuminated, and the sight of them from the water is simply breathtaking.
Is there WiFi on the Nile cruises?
Some Nile River Cruises provide the service of WiFi to their guests on board but the majority of Nile River Cruises don't have such a service so we highly recommend bringing a local SIM card upon arrival with 16 MB internet and it costs around 12 USD Per Card
How much do Nile cruises cost?
The cheapest 4-day Nile cruises start at US$210. Luxury cruises are more expensive. For a 5-day trip, prices begin at US$310 per person, rising to US$480 for high-luxury cruises.
