What people love about Nile River Cruises in March
- River Nile Story - 4 Days 5 stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with meals and Sightseeing
We took a 4 days Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor during the Christmas holidays including New Years eve. The tour was great - all activities on time, knowledgable guide (Hany, thanks), good service and airconditioned transportation. We also booked an Abu Simbel tour on the second day which I highly recommend. You have plenty of time to do both, sightseeing and also chilling on the deck during the cruise. You see all the major memorials and get to know a lot about the ancient Egyptians. Overall great experience and highly recommended!
- River Nile Cruise For 4 Nights From Luxor to Aswan (Opt. Balloon & Abu Simbel)
The BEST thing was our guide Khaled. He is very knwledgeable and very kind. The triple room on the boot was really a doble, so very small. The food on the boat was ok.
- 15 Days Ancient Egypt & Lake Nasser Cruise
We were delighted with our 'Ancient Egypt and Lake Nasser' tour. The 14 day trip arrangements went so smoothly, from airport pickups to boat transfers and all of the guides, drivers and group representatives were very professional. The quality of hotel and cruise accommodation was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend 'Vacations To Go Travel'.

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.

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.

March cruise options span from quick 4-day Luxor-Aswan trips to extended 13-day tours that include Cairo.

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.
