we wanted a sun holiday jan this year and after doing much research booked a cruise down the nile. It turned out to be much better value than we had anticpated as, although id reasearched weather, temeratures etc i had no idea what was to be seen in the area. Was quite amazing. Temps low 30's and our tour guide from cairo was 29 and had only known it to rain 1 day in his life!! Sun can be guaranteed we thoroughly enjoyed. i case you wonder we cruised from luxor to aswan.
