Dress the part

When is the best time to visit Aswan

The biggest draw to both Luxor and Aswan are the temples and archeological sites. Since you'll spend most of your time outside, the best time to visit Aswan is during the winter months from October to April. Temperatures are milder and more comfortable, but you will still need sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunscreen during the day. Nights get cool though, so pack a sweater.

This is the wet season, so the water levels of the Nile are higher and you’ll be able to see it in its full glory. However, this is also peak season, so be prepared for larger crowds.
