When to Go

Peak Season (October –February)

Shoulder Season (March – May & September)

• 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
