When to Visit
Best time to go on a luxor and aswan egypt tour
October to April. The weather is cooler and more pleasant for sightseeing outside. Daytime highs generally run in the 20-28C (68-82F) range in winter and early spring.
Summer (May–September) is hot, often over 40°C (104°F), and long visits to the temples can be uncomfortable. In summer, it is recommended to leave early in the morning and stay in or find shade at midday.
The shoulder seasons – late September-October and March-April – often offer the best balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Always check on current conditions and book well in advance during high holiday periods. If you are planning a karnak temple tour, visiting during the cooler months can make exploring the temple’s vast courtyards and towering columns more comfortable.
