What people love about Nile River Cruises in March
- Legend of the Nile: 6-Days Tour for 5 stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor & Sleeper Train Round Trip From Cairo
Khaled took us on a well planned and fun tour. We were well informed of what was going on as he provided translation to English. We finished off with a great boat celebration ride while looking at Luxor temple fans dipping our feet in the cool Nile river! Loved it!
- 15 Days Ancient Egypt & Lake Nasser Cruise
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ... Vacations to Go Travel provided my wife and I with a service second to none and we had a truly enjoyable and informative time on our "Ancient Egypt & Lake Nasser" Tour. Prior to booking, Walla dealt with our intial questions brilliantly and then Magdy arranged our trip so quickly and efficiently. From the moment we arrived at Cairo's International Airport to the point at which we, somewhat reluctantly, had to depart for home we were "well looked after", from being met at airports, transferred to our hotels/boats and guided around the sights of Ancient Egypt. Our thanks to everyone involved. We would have no hesitation in either recommending Vacations to Go Travel to others or travelling with them again ourselves.
Everything is just so perfect, the crew are friendly, food are good, rooms are comfortable etc. Among all these great experience, we would particularly like to praise our guide Mr. Hassan. He is knowledgeable, kind as well as supportive, we would like to let him know that we all like him a lot. Pity the time was limited so that we couldn’t talk more, but it has been a great pleasure chatting with him. We would definitely recommend this tour and Mr. Hassan to our friends whoever want to have a cruise on Nile.
5 Days 4 Nights Cruise from Luxor to Aswan
What our customers ask about Nile Cruises in March 2026
What is the weather like along the Nile River in March?
Egypt's March climate provides some of the most favorable conditions for Nile River cruising. Daytime temperatures hover between 25-30°C (77-86°F) in Luxor and Aswan creating comfortable conditions for exploring outdoor sites. The clear skies and dry weather make it easy to spend time at archaeological sites like the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple. Evenings on vessels such as the Movenpick Prince Abbas cool down nicely allowing for pleasant deck-side relaxation.
What are the best Nile River attractions to visit in March?
The moderate March temperatures make it an excellent time to explore the major archaeological sites. Key stops include the Temple of Philae in Aswan the grand complexes of Karnak and Luxor and the historic Valley of the Kings. The temples of Kom Ombo and Horus at Edfu benefit from the season's clear visibility. A recent visitor noted "Our guide Mohammed made each site come alive with detailed explanations and the March weather was perfect for exploring." Most itineraries include stays at premium hotels like the Sonesta St. George in Luxor or Movenpick Resort Aswan.
What are the best Nile River cruise routes to take in March?
The classic Luxor to Aswan route stands out as the most popular March journey with stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo temples along the way. Passengers on the Nile Adventure Odyssey tour regularly praise the 4-5 day sailing duration as ideal for both sightseeing and river travel. Premium ships like the Movenpick Prince Abbas and Steigenberger Omar El Khayam take full advantage of March's pleasant conditions for open-deck activities.
What type of Nile River cruise experiences are available in March?
March cruise options span from quick 4-day Luxor-Aswan trips to extended 13-day tours that include Cairo. Vessels such as the MS Mayfair and Radamis Cruise ships provide upscale accommodations with full board and expert-led excursions. One guest noted "The 5-star cruise experience combined with expert guides made our March trip unforgettable especially seeing Abu Simbel at sunrise."
What are the best optional excursions to take in March?
The clear March mornings create perfect conditions for hot air balloon flights over Luxor priced around 120 USD. Evening programs include the popular sound and light performances at Karnak Temple while daytime visits to Nubian villages near Aswan offer cultural insights. Many travelers staying at the Cairo Sheraton choose to add these activities to their base itinerary.

Expect to pay between USD 550-3205 for Nile cruises in March depending on duration and luxury level. Five-day journeys on premium ships like the MS Mayfair start at USD 750.
