Buses and shared taxis cover more destinations than trains, and are often more pleasant to use, even when they run parallel service to the railways. Trains are best in cases where you travel overnight, and want to be able to sleep. But with the Nile, Egypt offers means of transportation more attractive than the normal overland opportunities. Nile cruises come in all shapes, and qualities. Tourists looking for luxury will find exactly what they want, but have to pay according to standards.
Sections also feature cooking, entertainment for kids and wildlife of Egypt.
The best season is from October through May when the temperature is Cairo is comfortable in the daytime, and cool or even cold at night. Weather in Upper Egypt, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel is comfortably warm. During the summer months in Cairo is hot and dry, upper Egypt is extremely hot, sightseeing is done early in the morning. It is the perfect destination for travellers who hunger for a knowledge of the past. From Saqqara to Abydos, you will be transported, as if on a time machine, into the pages of a history book.
