Une Nile cruise is an ideal way to discover the major sites of Upper Egypt: Luxor (Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple), the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens (pharaonic tombs), the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon. Further south, the temples ofEdfu (dedicated to Horus) and Kom Ombo (dedicated to Sobek and Haroeris) are key stops before reaching Aswan, with the Philae Temple, the High Dam, and a possible excursion to the temples ofAbu Simbel. The seaside resorts of the Red Sea such as Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada et Marsa Alam are renowned for diving.

- Winter (October to April): This is the most pleasant time to visit, with sunny days and mild to warm temperatures (20°C to 30°C during the day in the Nile Valley). Nights can be cool, especially in the desert.
- Summer (May to September): Very hot and dry, especially in Upper Egypt (Luxor, Aswan) where temperatures can easily exceed 40-45°C. On the Mediterranean coast (Alexandria) and the Red Sea, the heat is slightly alleviated by the sea breeze. Rain is very rare, even non-existent in some regions.
