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!
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
- River Nile Dream - 4 Days from Luxor to Aswan (5 Stars Nile Cruise & Sightseeing)
My first time in Egypt, and first time doing a tour of this kind. The guide my group had was Khaled. Khaled was extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he showed/told us. He provided some great explanations which really helped to gain a better understanding and appreciation of what it is we were witnessing. He also gave us free time after the explanations to explore on our own to help let the information and sights sink in further. The boat, however, was a mixed bag. The rooms were very nice and very comfy, the boat itself was quite good to be on for the few days and the food as relatively good. The service from some members of staff however was not as good. I had an issue with my room where the safe was constantly beeping and making noises to stop me from sleeping/enjoying the relaxing time, and when I spoke to the reception real about this, nobody came to sort this. It resulted in me having to place the safe outside of my room, where it was left right up until I checked out, where it still remained. I would say the schedule on the boat was quite confusing as well, as we had lots of free time on the boat, but very little time to explore the temples in comparison to their size. This lead to some rushed exploration during our free time at the temples. I would also like to add that it does not say here on Tour Radar that tickets for the monuments and temples were not included. With how much the trip cost, I assumed that the tickets would have been included, so I was very surprised when I was informed that I had to pay for these myself. Overall, Khaled was a great guide to have due to his knowledge and passion, and the boat had some positives and some negatives. Thankfully though, a good trip/tour all round.
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.

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.
