I enjoyed it. I hope you do too.
- Best of Egypt Winter 2025-26
Thanks your egypt tours for good service
- Egypt and the Nile (Winter, Classic)
Loved it! This trip was incredible! Firstly from my tour guide - Sherif such an amazing guide, so knowledgeable! He made the trip even better! To the number of things that you do in the short period of time, which was pretty crammed but definitely worth it seeing all the main sights. From catching an overnight train from Cairo - Aswan to cruising the Nile. The trip was amazing - Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, local villages & so so many more things to see. Before I went to Egypt I had no idea what to expect, but going on this trip was incredible and would 10/10 recommend for anyone whos looking to go to Egypt!
What our customers ask about Egypt Tours in January 2026
What is the weather like in Egypt during January?
Egypt in January offers some of the most comfortable temperatures for travelers. Cairo sees daytime temperatures around 20°C/68°F and nighttime temperatures near 8°C/46°F. The mild weather creates good conditions for exploring outdoor monuments without the summer heat. The Steigenberger Hotel in Cairo provides a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that work well with the January climate letting guests adjust their activities based on the temperature.
Are there any special festivals or events in Egypt during January?
Coptic Christmas on January 7th brings celebrations throughout Egypt especially in Cairo's Coptic district. Local hotels like the Old Cataract in Aswan organize winter events and traditional high tea services. These cultural gatherings give travelers a chance to experience Egyptian traditions during the winter season while mixing with local residents and other visitors.
How much should I budget for a January trip to Egypt?
January prices reflect peak season rates. Nile cruise packages start at USD 520 for 4 days while comprehensive 12-day tours can reach USD 4798. Travelers need to plan for entrance fees (USD 130) guide tips (USD 50) and optional excursions. The Abu Simbel tour for example costs around USD 125. These prices come from current TourRadar data and help travelers plan realistic budgets.
What kind of accommodation is available in Egypt during January?
The peak winter season brings full service at Egypt's diverse lodging options. Hotels range from the central Steigenberger El Tahrir in Cairo to riverside properties like the Movenpick Resort Aswan. Nile cruise ships such as the MS Nile Symphony provide heated cabins and indoor spaces suitable for January weather making river travel comfortable during cooler evenings.
What are the top attractions to visit in Egypt during January?
The mild January weather works well for visiting Egypt's key sites. The Pyramids of Giza Karnak Temple Valley of the Kings and the Egyptian Museum welcome visitors with comfortable temperatures. Many travelers base themselves at hotels like the Steigenberger El Tahrir to explore Cairo's attractions. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Visiting the temples early morning in January was magical - there were fewer crowds and the lighting was perfect for photography."
Is January worth taking a Nile cruise in Egypt?
The Nile River cruise experience peaks in January. Clear winter skies and moderate temperatures create good conditions for deck activities and shore excursions. Ships like the MS Nile Quest give passengers clear views of riverside scenes. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The January weather was perfect for cruising - warm days for sightseeing and cool evenings for relaxing on deck."
