Best Time To Visit

Similarly, October half term offers daily highs of approximately 32°C and lows of 22°C, or even over the Christmas break, where you can enjoy milder highs of 24°C and lows of 14°C. Those who crave an abundance of sunshine and dream of spotting marine life like Hammerhead sharks, the summer months across Egypt promise sizzling temperatures and excellent underwater visibility. Your choice of destination within Egypt also influences the ideal time to visit. For urban exploration in cities like Cairo, winter presents more favourable conditions for sightseeing.
