Egypt - Best Time To Visit

EgyptClimate Information
Egypt's climate is generally hot and dry for most of the year. In the Sinai Desert the night temperatures drop dramatically during january, February and March and therefore these months may be unsuitable for overnight safaris. Likewise you need to be aware that both day and night temperatures during July and August are very hot, again something to keep in mind for safaris. Dahab receives a strong sea breeze for most of the year providing natural air conditioning and making it a popular resort for windsurfers.

The water temperature of the Red Sea is very mild all year round. In December it reaches an average min temperature of about 15°C and an average max temperature of around 26°C in July/August
