When is it good to go to Egypt? Choosing the time for a perfect vacation

Thousands of tourists annually visit Egypt. When is it better to go to rest? Of course, the weather there is always warm and sunny, but some months may be too hot. Let's talk about what time is most comfortable for relaxing in this country.

First of all, you should deal with the Egyptian seasons. There are only two of them: cool and hot. The first lasts from November to the end of March, and the second, respectively, begins in April and lasts until October. The summer season is hot and dry, the temperature can be too debilitating. Winter is much milder, the air becomes more humid, and the heat subsides. Where is better to go to Egypt? The farther from the coast, the more the temperature fluctuates throughout the day and the drier the air. In desert regions, the heat can reach sixty degrees during the day, but at night the temperature drops to zero. Therefore, if you don’t tolerate too hot a climate, it’s better to relax near the sea and not in the summer months. However, let's talk about each month in more detail.

If you want to save, then December will be for you the very month when it is good to go to Egypt. The sea is warm, the air warms up well, the sun pampers every day, and prices become very low - off-season. You can relax in the hotel, which will be only half full. But closer to the New Year holidays, hotels will again become crowded, and prices will instantly rise.

Egypt is coldest in January. The sea has not cooled yet, and the water temperature does not drop below twenty-two degrees, and the air can warm up to thirty in the afternoon. By evening it gets cooler (about fifteen degrees). Such weather is quite comfortable, so it’s quite possible to have a good rest and relax in January. In addition, there are few tourists after the festive hype, which means that the price of the ticket will not be too high.

If you still cannot decide when it is good to go to Egypt, we advise you to immediately delete February from the plans. This month the water becomes the coldest for the whole year, so swimming can be uncomfortable, moreover, prices are rising compared to January. If there is no other way to travel, except in February, choose a resort closer to the coast and grab warm clothes for evening walks.

March will be much warmer than February, at which time hamsin starts to blow from the desert - a hot wind bringing sand with it. But the prices for rest begin to increase along with the temperature. Although the water in the sea still does not have time to warm up and remains almost the same as in February.

Summer season

April marks the beginning of the warm season. The sea becomes warm, and the air warms up to thirty degrees. The number of tourists begins to grow, which means that prices will be quite high. May is one of the best months when it is good to go to Egypt. The weather is warm, but not exhaustingly hot, only during this period the Arabs begin their holidays, which means that it is quite difficult to find a place in the hotel, and the cost of rest rises to the New Year's level.

In June, the season opens in the Mediterranean resorts, making the rush of demand for Egyptian beaches subside. The temperature is hot, but the price is quite low. In July and August, the heat becomes unbearable, the risk of burns increases, so it is better to refuse vacation. By September, the temperature will begin to decrease along with the cost of tickets. October and November are another months when it is good to go to Egypt. Tours are sold at an average price, water and air reach the optimum temperature, so the rest will be pleasant.
