What people love about Egypt Tours in August
- Wonders of Egypt (Classic, Summer)
To say that this was the trip of a lifetime would be an understatement. I knew that this trip would include all of the famous sights you can find in any guide book, however, what I didn't expect was getting to dive headfirst in such an amazing culture. I would have never been able to scratch the service of all the amazing things we did on this tour if I had not traveled with Insight. The two highlights of our trip (beside the breathtaking ancient sights) were our high tea at the Cataract Hotel in Aswan and breaking bread with an Egyptian family in Luxor. I knew I would never be able to set something like this up on my own, and I am incredibly grateful for opportunity to say that I did these things. All my friends and family were so jealous of the photos I posted from these two experiences. Our Tour Director was first class from start to finish and made us feel like were were part of the family by the end of our trip. I know that I have made life long friends on my journey and I hope that this is first of many trips I take with Insight.
- Splendours of Egypt (Classic, Summer)
Tour program was great but was cut short by four days. Will Insight give a partial refund. Thanks.
- Nile Adventure - Felucca cruise
Trip was better than expected. Egypt has so much to offer and we were able to see a lot of it! The trip was very well organised and professional. Our tour guide was organised, helpful, friendly and very good at what he does. He was able to answer all of our questions and his knowledge of the Egyptian culture/history was amazing. Thanks for a great trip!
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.
