What people love about Egypt Tours in September
I went on a 10 day tour from Cairo to Cairo with Ramez in November 2015. I was living in the UK at the time and booked with Timeless tours sister company 'Expat explore'. It was always a dream of mine to visit the ancient sites in Egypt and this tour did not dissapoint. Ramez is highly qualified and has so much knowledge of both ancient and modern day Egypt. He is friendly, caring and always went out of his way to ensure our groups safety and comfort on the tour. Ramez made sure we had every opportunity to experience Egypts best, and introduced us to local foods, customs and answered all our questions with pride and enthusiasm. Egypt was a true eye opener for me, and I loved it. This tour was by far one of the best experiences I've ever had and I thank Timeless for making that dream of mine come true. I always felt safe and I would encourage everybody to travel on Timeless Tours with Ramez.
Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise
- 10-Day Ancient Egypt (Grand Egyptian Museum Experience)
We just did the 10 day ancient Egypt package and are now at Cairo airport waiting for our flight back to LA. 1- Egypt is a “must see” especially for mature travelers like us. 2- Egypt is safe and the Egyptians are overwhelmingly protective of the tourists. We were in Giza when the recent bombing occurred to watch the “sound and light show”. After that incident, we saw first hand the extra security, etc. more importantly, the tour guides, drivers etc we met were all genuinely upset. 3- The way “Vacations to go” packaged and managed our tour is the best way to see Egypt. Otherwise, you will lose lots of time dealing with “hustlers”. 4- The VGT team is truly exceptional. Mr Magdy himself picked us up even though we arrived at 2 am. All the tour guides (Ibrahim in Aswan/Luxor, John in Giza & Old Cairo, & Marwa in Alexandria) were knowledgeable. Special kudos to Ibrahim Elmonir for his passionate presentation and energy. Kudos to the drivers (2 Mohammad ‘s, etc), and tour coordinators. 5- Must see tours are: Giza, Old Cairo, air balloon ride, Nubia village, Alexandria, and the stunning temples and tombs There were some minor negatives (eg, Mercure hotel room we got had defective safe and aircon, etc)...but at least the people tried to fix them. And we did not let these minor inconveniences affect our awesome experience. We will certainly tell all our friends and relatives to visit Egypt! Thanks again!
- Trip to Egypt: Pyramids & Nile by flight - 8 Days
It is an EPIC tour and at great value and variety.
What our customers ask about Egypt Tours in September 2026
What is the weather like in Egypt during September?
September brings a welcome respite from Egypt's intense summer heat with daytime temperatures in Cairo reaching 32°C (90°F). The cooler mornings create good conditions for exploring major archaeological sites like the Pyramids and Valley of the Kings. Most visitors find the climate manageable for outdoor activities though afternoons can still be warm. Hotels such as the Steigenberger El Tahrir provide air-conditioned comfort for midday breaks from sightseeing.
What are the best activities to do in Egypt during September?
The moderate September weather opens up possibilities for both cultural exploration and outdoor adventures. Most visitors start their days with early temple visits followed by Nile cruises between Luxor and Aswan or traditional felucca boat rides at sunset. The Le Fayan 2 cruise ship's observation decks offer prime spots for evening Nile views. Hot air balloon rides over Luxor's ancient monuments take advantage of the clear September skies and cooler morning temperatures.
Are there any special events or festivals in Egypt during September?
The Abu Simbel Sun Festival stands out as September's signature event occurring around the 22nd when sunlight streams into Ramses II's temple sanctuary. Many Nile cruise vessels organize Egyptian cultural nights complete with local music performances and traditional dancing. These evening celebrations often blend contemporary music from the 60s and 70s with Arabian melodies creating a festive atmosphere on board.
What are the accommodation options like in Egypt during September?
September visitors find hotels and cruise ships operating at full capacity with all services available. The Steigenberger El Tahrir in Cairo represents the standard for urban accommodations while 5-star Nile cruise vessels provide floating luxury. Air conditioning comes standard across most properties making afternoon rest periods comfortable even during warmer days.
How much should I budget for a September trip to Egypt?
Tour packages in September cost between USD 520 and USD 2500. Additional expenses include site entrance fees (USD 100-135) daily tips (USD 8) and optional excursions like the Abu Simbel tour at USD 125. Popular add-ons such as hot air balloon rides over Luxor typically cost around USD 100. These supplementary activities take advantage of September's milder weather conditions.
What is the average cost for accommodations in Egypt during September?
Five-star properties like Cairo's Marriott Mena House charge between 150-200 USD nightly while 4-star options such as the Steigenberger Hotel Luxor range from 100-150 USD. Nile cruise cabins start at 150 USD per night reaching 300 USD for premium accommodations. These rates reflect standard September pricing across Egypt's main tourist destinations.
