From Aswan: 4-Days 5-Star Nile Cruise with Guided Tours
- 3 Nights Cruise Aswan to Luxor including Abu Simbel, Nubian Village and Air Balloon
Heba was an outstanding agent to work with. We are three busy working moms and she was always prompt in communicating and helped us secure a great rate on the Sonesta George cruise (which we loved!) with a private guide who was outstanding. We had limited time to plan and she helped us arrange an unforgettable girls trip. This cruise was a step above all the other cruise ships we saw on the Nile- clean, beautiful, more good food than you could possibly need. The chefs and staff were warm, welcoming and truly made this experience unforgettable. Have some caution with the jewelry store as I think we were taken advantage of there. We developed a real affection for the talented chefs bringing us their beautiful creations. We even took a chance on the fresh veges and fruit and no one got sick. The stops made touring relatively easy… we were expecting more walking and effort to get to the sights. Heba helped us watch flights to Aswan and secure one that opened up late so we could add an Abu Simbel adventure to our itinerary. She also helped with transfers to the Red Sea and airports which were seamless with kind drivers. We saw, learned, and did a LOT! If we had our children along we would have tailored this differently because we did a lot of travel to see many things in a relatively short amount of time. Heba is also a mother and I look forward to working with her for their needs when I bring my children back one day.

What our customers ask about Nile Cruises in April 2026
What is the weather like along the Nile River in April?
April brings comfortable temperatures for Nile River cruising with daytime readings between 25-30°C (77-86°F) at major stops like Luxor and Aswan. The moderate climate makes exploring outdoor sites such as Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings particularly pleasant. Pack lightweight clothing for daytime activities but include a light jacket for air-conditioned spaces on cruise ships like the MS Royal Lily and Le Fayan 2.
What are the best day trips from major Nile cities in April?
Day trips from Nile cities shine in April. Travelers can take early morning flights to Abu Simbel from Aswan float above Luxor's West Bank in hot air balloons or explore the less-visited Dendera Temple. The Old Cataract Hotel serves an elegant afternoon tea with Nile views. As one TourRadar reviewer notes: "The April sunrise balloon ride over Luxor followed by the Abu Simbel day trip were absolute highlights of our Nile journey."
What are the accommodation options along the Nile River in April?
The Nile River corridor offers a range of places to stay from upscale hotels to floating accommodations. Top choices include the Jolie Ville Luxor Resort Steigenberger Nile Palace and 5-star cruise vessels. The Sonesta St. George in Luxor and Cairo Sheraton provide rooms with river views. A TourRadar review states: "The April weather made the cruise ship's pool deck perfect for relaxing between excursions while our room at the Steigenberger had amazing Nile views."
What is the price range for Nile River cruises in April?
Expect to pay between 520-1299 USD for 4-5 day Nile cruises in April. Standard 5-star boats like Le Fayan 2 start at 530 USD for 4 days while luxury vessels such as MS Royal Lily reach 1299 USD. Book 3-4 months ahead for the best rates as April sees higher demand than off-season months.
Are there any special events or festivals along the Nile River in April?
April brings Sham El-Nessim an ancient Egyptian spring celebration along the Nile. Cruise ships including the Princess Sarah and MS Royal Lily host Egyptian nights and traditional Galabaya parties. Cultural performances and music events take place at major sites like Luxor Temple and Kom Ombo Temple adding to the festive atmosphere.
Which Nile River cruise itinerary is best for April weather conditions?
The 4-5 day Aswan to Luxor route works well with April's weather patterns. Ships like Princess Sarah and Le Fayan 2 take this popular route stopping at Kom Ombo Edfu and Philae temples. Clear April skies create good conditions for temple visits and the optional Abu Simbel excursion benefits from mild temperatures.
