Nile cruise itineraries by number of nights
The simplest way to choose a Nile cruise is by length. This list starts with the shortest trips and runs to the longest, so you can match a cruise to the days you have.
Three to four nights
Enough for the main temples between Luxor and Aswan: Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae.
Five to seven nights
A slower pace with more time in each place, and room for extras such as Abu Simbel.
Longer itineraries
Cruises that start in Cairo or add days on land combine the Nile with the pyramids and museums in one trip.
Travel tips for Nile cruise itineraries
Practical answers to the questions travelers ask before they book: when to go, what to pack, money, visas and staying well.

- December to FebruaryCool days and cold nights in the south, so pack a jacket. Hotels and cruises fill up around Christmas and New Year.
- March and AprilWarm and pleasant. Spring winds can raise dust for a day or two.
- May to SeptemberHot in Luxor and Aswan. Start sightseeing at sunrise and rest at midday. Sites are usually quieter.
Ramadan moves with the lunar calendar. Opening hours and meal times can change during the month, so check the dates for your travel year before you book.
