FAQs About Our Nile Cruise to Sharm El Sheikh
The best months to take your Nile Cruise to Sharm El Sheikh are during the cooler season, from October to April. The temperatures are pleasant for sightseeing in the Nile Valley and are comfortable for enjoying the beaches in Sharm El Sheikh.
While Sharm El Sheikh is a safe tourist resort, visitors should primarily be careful of sun exposure (the sun is very strong; use high SPF protection) and dehydration. When engaging in water activities, always respect the marine environment and coral reefs. Otherwise, exercise standard caution regarding personal belongings and only use reputable transport.
No, you do not see the Pyramids of Giza while sailing on a Nile Cruise. The cruising portion of your Nile Cruise to Sharm El Sheikh package operates hundreds of kilometers south of Cairo. To visit the Pyramids, you must add a separate, pre-arranged stay and land excursion in Cairo to your itinerary.
Mosquitos can be present, especially around sunset and when the ship is docked near riverbanks. Modern ships used for our Nile Cruise to Sharm El Sheikh packages take precautions. We recommend carrying and applying a good quality insect repellent for use during any evening outdoor activities.
The “3:1:1 rule” is the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) rule for carry-on liquids on aircraft, not a cruise regulation. It refers to liquids in containers of 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less, fitting into one (1) quart-sized clear zip-top bag, one bag per passenger. This rule is only relevant for the air travel portions of your itinerary.
The dress code during your Nile Cruise to Sharm El Sheikh is smart casual.
Daytime: Wear lightweight, comfortable attire. Modest dress (covering shoulders and knees) is required when visiting temples and mosques.
Evening: Smart casual is expected for dinner (e.g., neat trousers, collared shirts, blouses, or dresses).
