I went this past March. I don't know about the weather in August, but since it is desert, it should at least by dry heat.
Yeah I thought about the Nile cruise before we booked and was really happy later that we didn't do it. I mean, we were always careful about the water and stuff, but yeah almost the entire group on that cruise got sick and that's really not a fun way to spend your vacation :-P
Glad to help!
Hey I read your post about Egypt and just wanted to offer up my experience.
I went on the tour with TopDeck and it was amazing. Very professional, good accommodations, our tour guide was awesome and the group was so much fun. I did Essential Egypt and it was really everything you could hope to see in a week spent there. I know some people that did Egypt Explorer, which started off with our group and then continued on to a resort in Dahab for an extra 4 days.
I highly recommend TopDeck, but I would avoid anything with a Nile Cruise because people on the parallel trip to ours that spent days on a boat on the Nile were not thrilled and many got food poisoning. Hope that helps!
However you end up going, you should DEFINITELY go. Egypt is so fantastic. Hope you have a great time!
Yay CT! whereabouts you located? I am in New Haven! if you ever need any travel tips or advice, send me a note!
