FAQs About Our Nile Cruise Egypt
Welcome to our FAQ section, designed to answer all your questions about our amazing Nile Cruise Egypt packages. At CruiseERA, we are dedicated to making your journey as smooth and memorable as possible.
The best time for a Nile Cruise Egypt trip is during the cooler months, from October to April. The weather is pleasant and ideal for sightseeing. The months of March, April, and October are particularly popular, as the temperatures are warm but not excessively hot.
CruiseERA is proud to offer some of the best Nile cruises in Egypt, known for their exceptional service, luxurious amenities, and professional guides. Our cruises are meticulously planned to ensure a high-quality experience, from the elegance of our boats to the expertise of our Egyptologists. The “best” cruise often comes down to personal preference for a specific boat, but our commitment to excellence remains the same across our fleet.
No, you do not see the pyramids on a Nile Cruise Egypt trip. The cruises sail between Luxor and Aswan, in the south of Egypt. The Pyramids of Giza are located near Cairo, over 400 miles to the north. However, our comprehensive packages can easily combine a Nile cruise with our dedicated Cairo tours to ensure you see both the pyramids and the wonders of the Nile Valley.
Yes, you can wear shorts on the cruise ship itself. The atmosphere is generally relaxed and casual. However, when you go on shore excursions to visit temples and other religious or historical sites, it is recommended to dress more modestly out of respect for the local culture.
During the day, the dress code is very casual. Lightweight, comfortable clothing is best for shore excursions. In the evenings, many cruise ships have a smart casual dress code for dinner, but it is not strictly enforced. Some guests may choose to wear something a bit dressier for the Captain’s dinner or a special evening event.
It is extremely rare to see crocodiles on the Nile River near the tourist areas of Luxor and Aswan. They are generally found further south in Lake Nasser, behind the Aswan High Dam. The river is very safe for cruising.
Nile cruises typically start from either Luxor or Aswan. Both cities are excellent starting points and the itineraries are generally the same, just in reverse. Your choice of starting point often depends on your travel plans and flight availability.
The term “most luxurious” can refer to specific boats within our fleet. Our premium cruise ships offer top-tier amenities, including spacious suites, gourmet dining, and personalized service. When booking a Nile Cruise Egypt trip with CruiseERA, you can choose from a range of luxury options to match your desires.
The food on our Nile cruises is excellent, featuring a mix of Egyptian, Middle Eastern, and international cuisine. Meals are typically served buffet-style, offering a wide variety of dishes to cater to all tastes. Special dietary needs can often be accommodated with advance notice.
Tipping is a customary part of travel in Egypt. On a Nile cruise, it’s common practice to give a single tip to the “tipping box” on the boat at the end of the cruise, which is then distributed among the staff. The recommended amount is typically around $5-10 per person, per day, for the crew. Your guide will have a separate tip. For your guide and driver, a tip of around $5-10 per day is also appreciated for good service.
