When Should You Visit Egypt?
Egypt is a year-round destination, but timing your visit can significantly impact your experience. The best time to visit depends on your priorities: perfect weather, avoiding crowds, or finding deals.
Winter: Peak Season
December through February offers the most comfortable temperatures for sightseeing (15-25°C). This is peak tourist season with higher prices and more crowds at major sites.
Spring: Shoulder Season
March through May brings warming temperatures and fewer tourists. Perfect for those seeking a balance of good weather and thinner crowds.
Summer: Budget Season
June through August is hot (35-45°C) but offers significant discounts. Best for Red Sea beach resorts and budget travelers.
Fall: Sweet Spot
September through November is often considered the ideal time, with cooling temperatures, fewer crowds, and reasonable prices.
