What people love about Egypt Tours in August
- Egypt Highlights
Peter was great, funny, made us feel safe and all around good guide. I would not have to think twice to recommend him to a different group.
- Wonders of the Pharaohs
Our guide Sem Sem was friendly, knowledgeable and made our experience in Egypt absolutely amazing. The depth of his experience and leadership was the highlight of our trip. We would definitely do another tour because of him! Our accommodations and transportation were good and we enjoyed the food provided and recommended.
The Trip of a Lifetime – Cleopatra’s Egypt with Timeless Tours We’ve just returned from the "Cleopatra's Egypt: Cairo, Alexandria & 5 Nile Cruise"* tour with Timeless Tours, and all we can say is: WOW. From the moment we inquired to the final goodbye, everything was flawless and unforgettable. Hany was a dream to deal with, super responsive, incredibly helpful, and genuinely caring. Every question (and we had a lot!) was answered with kindness, clarity, and patience. His support didn’t stop once we arrived either and he was always available if we needed anything during the tour. And then there’s Ramez, our Egyptologist, and quite possibly the best guide on the planet. His knowledge is unending and the way he shares it is passionate, clear, and engaging making every temple, tomb, and story come to life. Add to that his impeccable organization, warm demeanour, and genuine kindness, and you’ve got the gold standard of guiding. We’ve travelled extensively and can confidently say Ramez is the best guide we’ve ever had anywhere. The hotels were fantastic, the Nile cruise lovely and relaxing, the transport was modern, spotless, and comfortable, and every driver was professional and friendly. Even more impressive, they catered seamlessly to our dietary requirements (two vegans and a gluten-free vegan!), which is no small feat in a country where that can be very tricky, and it was during Ramadan. The itinerary was rich, well-paced (albeit full-on at times with early starts), and absolutely incredible! We highly, highly recommend adding on extra days and arranging through Timeless the optional Memphis & Dahshur, Saqqara, Abu Simbel, and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization tours, as well as Alexandria if it’s not already included in your itinerary. All are unforgettable highlights in their own right. The sleeper train was an experience we are glad we have! But if comfort and sleep are a priority, we’d recommend upgrading to flights between Cairo and Aswan/Luxor. As three women travelling together, we felt safe, respected, and well cared for at every step. This trip was incredible value for money, full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and made exceptional by incredible people. We can’t wait to return to Egypt and when we do, without a doubt it’ll be with Timeless Tours again. 10/10. Highly, highly recommended!

What our customers ask about Egypt Tours in August 2025
What are the temperatures like in Egypt during August and how do tours accommodate for the heat?
During August Egypt's temperatures peak at 104°F (40°C) especially in Luxor and Aswan. Tour operators manage this by scheduling key sightseeing activities between 4-5 AM. Many hotels such as the Steigenberger El Tahrir in Cairo provide afternoon pool access for cooling off. One TourRadar guest shared: "The heat was intense but manageable since we did most activities early morning and had afternoons to relax in air-conditioned spaces."
What special events or festivals happen in Egypt during August?
The ancient Egyptian New Year celebration Wafaa El-Nil lights up the Nile River regions in mid-August with notable celebrations in Aswan and Luxor. Cruise vessels like the MS Nile Symphony host Egyptian-themed evenings with local music and dance performances. Guests often mention participating in "special galabeya parties and Egyptian folklore shows" during their August river journeys.
Is August a good time for a Nile cruise and what should I expect?
August proves ideal for river cruising as the Nile provides natural cooling effects. Premium vessels including the Steigenberger Royale and MS Amwaj feature climate-controlled rooms and deck pools. Visitors note that "mornings and evenings on deck are magical with fewer crowds at major temples." Ships plan outdoor excursions for early or late hours allowing midday indoor rest periods.
What are the best optional activities to consider in Egypt during August?
Key August experiences include dawn balloon flights above Luxor ($125) evening river dining cruises and temple light shows after sunset. Guests frequently recommend the "sunrise tour of Abu Simbel temple" and "evening felucca sailing experiences on the Nile." The Karnak Temple evening illumination program draws crowds seeking cooler nighttime entertainment.
What are the most popular activities and attractions to visit in Egypt during August?
August visitors focus on early morning tours to Luxor's Valley of the Kings sunset cruises between Aswan and Luxor and beach time in Hurghada. A recent traveler shared: "The Nile cruise was unforgettable - lying on the sun deck and riding along the Nile with cultural trips to great temples." The Egyptian Museum and Giza Pyramids see most visitors during morning or late afternoon hours.
How should I pack for Egypt in August?
August travelers need light loose cotton clothes that cover shoulders and knees for temple visits. Must-pack items include strong sunscreen sunglasses hats comfortable walking shoes and swimwear for cruises and Red Sea stays. As one visitor advised: "You really need water in 40+ degrees! Take a reusable water bottle and consider moisture-wicking fabrics." Pack a light jacket for air-conditioned spaces in places like Steigenberger hotels and Swiss Inn Resort Hurghada.
