Many of the most important attractions, such as temples and the Valley of the Kings, are located in the south of the country, between Luxor and Aswan, along the Nile river banks. A cruise not only is the most convenient and comfortable way to enjoy the sights as it is a great way to revive how ancient Egyptians used to travel in the past.

You can choose anytime of the year to visit Egypt and do a Nile cruise because the trip itself is awesome. Now, if you have to choose a time of the year, take the weather into consideration, as if it is too hot you might not find the desert the most pleasant place, especially during summer peak (June and July).
