What people love about Nile Tours for Couples
- Nile cruise 5 days 5 Stars
Hi Everyone, If you are looking for a reliable Nile cruise in Egypt, you are in good hands with Booking-tours. We just came back from a 5-day cruise on the Nile, and it was terrific. Thanks to Ms. Elizabeth who assisted us booking the cruise and replied quickly to all of our questions. Our tour guide Ali and Ramadan (our contact in Egypt). They manage every aspect of our cruise efficiently and well coordinated. We will definitely come back to this amazing historic place.

What our customers ask about Romantic Nile Cruises & Honeymoon Packages
What's the best time of year for couples to cruise the Nile?
You'll find the most pleasant weather for a Nile cruise between October and April. During these months, Luxor and Aswan see comfortable temperatures around 75-85°F (24-29°C) during the day - perfect for exploring temples and relaxing on deck. Evenings cool down to about 65°F (18°C), just right for dinner outdoors or watching the stars. Cairo stays a bit cooler at around 70°F (21°C). I'd suggest avoiding summer trips from June through August when temperatures can hit 104°F (40°C), making sightseeing pretty uncomfortable.
What are the most romantic experiences available on Nile River cruises for couples?
You'll find some really special experiences perfect for two along the Nile. Take a private felucca boat ride at sunset in Aswan with a glass of champagne, or enjoy an intimate dinner on the S.S. Sphinx as the sun goes down. The Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan, where Agatha Christie wrote "Death on the Nile," serves a beautiful afternoon tea. If you're on the AmaDahlia, you can book a suite with your own balcony overlooking the river. Many couples love visiting temples like Philae and Kom Ombo right before sunset when the ancient stones glow golden.
What private experiences can couples book during their Nile River tour?
You can plan several private moments during your trip. Book a sunset sail just for two on a felucca in Aswan, or arrange a private tour of Queen Nefertari's tomb in the Valley of the Queens. The AmaDahlia offers private dining on your balcony, while the Steigenberger Nile Palace has couple's spa treatments. You can also get private guides at major sites like the Pyramids and Karnak Temple, plus private airport pickups. One TourRadar traveler said, "The private evening tour of Luxor Temple was incredibly romantic and gave us time to ourselves away from the crowds."
What dining experiences are available for couples on Nile River cruises?
You'll find lots of special dining options on Nile cruises. The AmaDahlia's Al Fresco Restaurant serves gourmet meals, and most ships offer private dining on your balcony or up on deck. The Steigenberger Nile Palace has several restaurants with both Egyptian and international dishes. On the Crown Jewel, you can have dinner under the stars. Many cruises also include fun Egyptian-themed nights and wine tastings. A TourRadar traveler shared, "The sunset dinner cruise near Aswan was incredibly romantic, with amazing views and exceptional service."
What are the best locations for romantic photos along the Nile River?
You'll find beautiful photo spots all along the Nile. Catch the sunset at Philae Temple in Aswan, or get early morning shots at Luxor Temple. The Steigenberger Nile Palace's rooftop gives you great views of the river and city. Other good spots include the traditional felucca boats in Aswan at sunset, Karnak Temple when it's lit up at night, and the desert views near Kom Ombo Temple. The top deck of your cruise ship is perfect for photos too, especially during sunset between 5 and 7 PM.
What's the typical cost for a couple's Nile River cruise?
For a 4-7 day cruise, expect to pay between $2,000 and $4,000 per couple, which covers your room, meals and most tours. On luxury ships like the MS Sun Goddess, premium suites start around $3,500 per couple. Extra costs include optional trips (like Abu Simbel at $170 per person), tips ($8-10 per person daily), and drinks. Some packages include flights between Cairo and Luxor or Aswan.
