View DetailsWinter is Egypt’s most comfortable season for sightseeing: mild days in Cairo and Upper Egypt, cool evenings, and very little rain. That makes the Christmas and New Year window a popular one, so dates and Nile cruise cabins are worth settling earlier than you would for a spring trip. Our guide to the best time to visit Egypt sets out how the months compare.
The total solar eclipse on 2 August 2027 is a summer event, separate from the winter holiday season. We offer three fixed-date eclipse packages: two with eclipse viewing in Luxor and one in Siwa Oasis. Expect hot weather and plan accommodation, transport and viewing arrangements well in advance.
Choose the nine-day Cairo and Nile cruise from 30 July to 7 August 2027, or the six-day Cairo and Luxor hotel stay from 30 July to 4 August 2027. The shorter holiday stays in hotels and does not include a cruise. For the eclipse path, Luxor viewing advice and practical preparation, read our Egypt solar eclipse 2027 guide.
