What people love about Egypt Tours in October
Had a great time in Egypt. The places I visted were amazing and Timeless Tours team made the trip very pleasant and enjoyable
Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise
- 10-Day Ancient Egypt (Grand Egyptian Museum Experience)
Ahmed not only met us at the airport, but insured they found our lost luggage with his professional persistence. He also made certain our 1st day and night were excellent. Tamer made certain we had all our requests handled quickly and showed us every detail for 3 entire days in Cairo. Eltaib was the best guide we've ever experienced for 4 full days as we journeyed down the Nile on a cruise we'll never forget.
Wow , Agatha Christie Egypt tour is the best tour I ever made ! It covered almost all the Egyptian highlights, the whole tour was arranged as a small group,we were 5 people, Everything was perfect I was just taken away with the beauty of the Nile Dahabiya from Luxor to aswan (traditional luxury sailing boat)it is very luxurious and private only for our small group, The whole tour itinerary was really wonderful and we loved seeing the beautiful cities along the Nile River, The breathtaking views of the Nile River were absolutely mesmerizing. Sailing peacefully along the river, we had the opportunity to witness the stunning landscapes, ancient temples, and charming villages that line its banks, the onboard amenities were top-notch. We have been upgraded to suite cabin on the Dahabiya boat which was spacious and well-appointed, offering a cozy retreat after a day filled with exploration. The meals served onboard were delectable, with a wide variety of both local and international dishes to satisfy every palate. The knowledgeable guide ayman during the adventure provided fascinating insights into the history and culture of Egypt, making the journey not only visually stunning but also intellectually enriching. One of the highlights of our trip was Abu simbel tour, Exploring the ancient temple of Abu Simbel was like stepping back in time especially no other travellers were in the temple except us . Just an amazing trip of a lifetime. I would go back in a heartbeat.

A TourRadar traveler noted: "Witnessing the Abu Simbel Sun Festival in October was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that added so much more meaning to our visit."
Is October a good time for a Nile cruise?
The pleasant October weather and clear skies create prime conditions for Nile River cruising. Ships like the MS Sonesta Moon and MS Nile Acamar offer comfortable journeys between temple stops.
