January gives travelers a chance to begin the year among Egypt’s ancient monuments while enjoying some of the country’s most comfortable sightseeing conditions. Cooler winter days work especially well for walking through the Giza Plateau, exploring Luxor’s temples and tombs, visiting Aswan, and spending more time outdoors. It is also a strong month for sailing between Luxor and Aswan, which makes a Nile cruise in January a natural centerpiece for a longer Egypt journey.
