When is the best time to visit?
The best time to visit Egypt for a beach vacation is typically during the spring and fall months, specifically from March to May and from September to November. During these periods, the weather is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for enjoying the country's stunning beaches.
- March to May: Spring in Egypt is warm but not excessively hot, with average coastal temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). This is a perfect time for swimming and sunbathing without the intense heat of the summer months.
- September to November: The fall season offers similar conditions to spring, with the added benefit of the sea remaining warm from the summer heat. This makes it an excellent time for water activities such as snorkeling and diving, especially in the Red Sea resorts.
It's important to avoid the peak summer months from June to August, as temperatures can soar above 30°C (86°F), which might be uncomfortable for some travelers. Additionally, the winter months from December to February, while mild, can be too cool for those looking to spend time in the water.
