CLIMATE & CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS

In September & October, the daily weather remains reliably dry and sunny and rather warm.

Daytime temperatures rise to approximately 87- 93°F, and fall to about 65- 70°F overnight. As we travel south into Aswan, the temperature gets considerably hotter with daytimes averages of 102°F. The sun typically rises around 5:30am and sets about 5:30am. There is rarely rain if ever during this time of the year.

Whatever the activity, you should remember that Egypt remains a conservative country and we wish to be respectful. It is encouraged for women to generally always have their shoulders covered outside the hotels and boat (there are beautiful shawls available in Egypt). Keeping this in mind, comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for layers in the daytime. A light jacket, sweater or wrap for early morning and evening and also for the air conditioning in the hotels are advised.

Wear comfortable walking shoes—sneakers or sandals with a supporting back strap and cotton socks. In the evenings, as everyone will be dining in very pleasant surroundings at our hotels or local restaurants, somewhat nicer attire would be appropriate.

We encourage dressing up.
