The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, when temperatures are milder and more comfortable for sightseeing. These months are ideal for exploring ancient sites, cruising the Nile, and enjoying outdoor excursions. December to February is peak season, offering pleasant daytime temperatures, while March and April are excellent shoulder months with fewer crowds. Summer travel (May to September) is possible but can be very hot, particularly in Upper Egypt.
The cost of an Egypt tour from UK varies depending on duration, accommodation level, and inclusions. As a general guide:
Most organised tours include accommodation, domestic flights within Egypt, guided sightseeing, entrance fees, and a Nile cruise where applicable. International flights from UK may be included or priced separately, depending on the package.
No vaccinations are mandatory for travellers from UK entering Egypt, provided you are arriving directly from UK or Europe. However, it’s recommended that routine vaccinations (such as tetanus, diphtheria, and hepatitis A) are up to date. Some travellers may also consider hepatitis B or typhoid depending on their itinerary. It’s best to consult your GP or a travel health clinic at least 6–8 weeks before departure.
To see Egypt’s major highlights comfortably, a tour of 8 to 12 days is ideal. This allows time to explore Cairo (including the Pyramids and museums), enjoy a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, and visit key ancient sites without rushing. Shorter trips of 6–7 days focus on highlights only, while longer itineraries (12–14 days or more) allow for additional destinations such as Alexandria, the Red Sea, or desert oases.
Absolutely. A Nile cruise is one of the most rewarding ways to experience Egypt. Cruising between Luxor and Aswan allows you to visit some of the country’s most important ancient temples while enjoying a relaxed pace of travel. Modern Nile cruise ships offer comfortable cabins, onboard dining, and guided excursions, making the journey both informative and enjoyable. For many travellers, the Nile cruise is a highlight of the entire trip.
