However, the finest period to visit Luxor would definitely be in the winter when tourists from all around the world escape the cold weather of their hometowns and resort in Luxor to enjoy the warm sun.

Lately most of the visitors of Luxor would take a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, or vice versa, as they would enjoy their stay in a five stars deluxe ship, have all their visits to the monuments scheduled within the program of the cruise, and have fun in the entertainment activities organized by the ship management. 

In Luxor, the summers are long, sweltering, arid, and clear and the winters are short, cool, dry, and mostly clear. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 45°F to 105°F and is rarely below 39°F or above 111°F.
