What people love about Egypt Tours in October
- Cairo & Nile Cruise Tours - Included Internal Flights
Reliable, caring and professional people. They do take care of customers and make sure everyone enjoys a fantastic experience. Thanks Getaways Egypt for the great adventure!
- Grand Egyptian GEMs: Hidden Pyramids and the Nile - Return Flight Included - 9 Days
Overall Experience Excellent: BUT include NMEC in Itinerary. If you want to see the history of ancient Egypt and enjoy the Nile this is an excellent tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and having someone on hand to organise logistics daily invaluable. We enjoyed the boat experience and fantastic way to see the river and its importance to Egypt. The boats were a bit tired but rooms very comfortable, food was all buffet but absolutely fine and the top deck was a lovely place to relax in between trips. As can be expected there are things that could be improved , certain tour facts not explained beforehand and some tips on Egypt: - the boats on the Nile all seem to go in convoy, this means they arrive at the same time, dock next to each other and all tourists end up at the same place at the same time! I could not get an explanation for this fact. -the tipping process is misleading and can be intrusive. Our tour guide on arrival in our Cairo hotel asked us for $55 per person towards tips for staff on our tour excluding our main guide we would pick up in Luxor. During the nine days many people asked for tips supposedly covered by our initial payment and during the tour you visit many ‘recommended’ tourist shops( alibaster, perfume, artefacts, papyrus etc) where it’s clear the guide benefits financially. The guide at Cairo airport from Beyond the Nile was late and rude and was not representative of other staff. -there are many side tours/trips you can also elect to take. We enjoyed ours( horse and carriage around Luxor at night, visit Nubian village) but I thought they were expensive given the costs of things on the ground when you are there. -we were a group of fourteen when the maximum size was supposed to be ten people. It didn’t make any difference and we thoroughly enjoyed our other travelling companions but it was misleading by the tour company. -if you are expecting seem less communication with the outside world plan ahead. The Wi-Fi just does not work, in hotels, on the boat and anywhere else. Most of our group ended up buying a Egyptian SIM card. Money changers are few and far between and ATM’s friendly to foreign cards also. You should do SIM and cash/ATM at the airport on arrival. - lastly, but most IMPORTANT. On day one you visit the Egyptian Museum which is a bit long, very hot and most interesting part saved for the last ten minutes (Tutankhamen treasures). There is another museum in Cairo called the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation(NMEC) which was built in 2017 and is amazing. They have two floors; the lower one dedicated to the Mummies of the ancient Kings & Queen which is amazing and the ground floor covers all Egyptian History periods: Old,Middle, New Kingdoms, Ptolematic and Roman eras and the Muslim Caliphate changes. We saw this on our last day ONLY because we asked to see it. We SHOULD have seen this on day ONE as it would have given us a fantastic foundation of knowledge for what we would be seeing over the next eight days. The Tour company couldn’t explain why it was not on the itinerary but make sure you see beforehand.
- Egypt Treasures (Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Felucca sailing ,black &white desert safari) with Domestic flight
The trip was way more than I ever expected. Thanks for all tour guides in cairo,Aswan and desert ( Dr Nasar & ayman & walled) they did their best to make sure we all enjoyed it and got the best we could possibly get out of it.they were very knowledgeable of their county and showed us the best places of Egypt and had an awesome time with us. i made almost all the optional activities during this tour but I enjoyed much Abu simbel and the hot air balloon. thanks guys for everything it was all worth the money.
What our customers ask about Egypt Tours in October 2025
What is the weather like in Egypt during October?
October provides comfortable temperatures for exploring Egypt's ancient sites. Cairo sees daily averages of 28°C (82°F) while southern regions like Aswan and Luxor reach 35°C (95°F). As a TourRadar traveler notes: "The weather was perfect in October - warm but not too hot for sightseeing at the temples and pyramids." The cool evenings create ideal conditions for outdoor activities and river cruising.
What are the most popular attractions to visit in Egypt during October?
The mild October weather makes visiting major archaeological sites comfortable and rewarding. Visitors can explore the Valley of the Kings the Pyramids of Giza and the temple complexes at Abu Simbel and Karnak without summer's intense heat. Many travelers choose to stay at the Steigenberger Nile Palace in Luxor as their base. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The October timing was perfect for seeing everything - from the early morning hot air balloon ride over Luxor to the afternoon visits to temples without the extreme heat of summer."
Are there any special festivals or events in Egypt during October?
October brings significant cultural celebrations to Egypt. The Abu Simbel Sun Festival occurs around October 22 when sunlight reaches deep into Ramesses II's temple sanctuary. The annual Sphinx Festival typically takes place this month as well. 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. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Perfect weather for relaxing on deck between temple visits and watching sunset over the Nile." Most routes connect Luxor and Aswan with stops at key archaeological sites.
What are the accommodation options like in Egypt during October?
October visitors find good deals at upscale properties including the pyramid-view Marriott Mena House and the historic Sofitel Winter Palace in Luxor. River cruise vessels range from basic to luxury class accommodations. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The October weather made rooftop dining at Cairo hotels especially enjoyable." Many rooms offer views of the pyramids or the Nile.
What optional activities are recommended in Egypt during October?
The moderate October weather suits outdoor activities well. Popular options include Luxor hot air balloon rides ($120) Abu Simbel day trips ($125) and evening shows at Karnak Temple. A TourRadar traveler reports: "The October morning visibility was perfect for aerial views of the monuments." Traditional felucca sailboat rides and visits to Nubian villages round out the experience.
