When to Go
Peak Season (October –February)
- Coolest and most comfortable weather
- Best time for cultural visits
Shoulder Season (March – May & September)
- Spring brings occasional dust storms disrupting flights.
- Warm seas, cool sea breeze and no crowds on the coastal areas
- Best time to visit the Red Sea
Low Season (June to August)
- Scorching summer sun means only the hardiest sightseers visit Upper Egypt
- Along the coastline the weather is cooler than elsewhere, but the beaches are crowded and hotel rooms are hard to find
- Best time for a Nile River Cruise
