Egypt has two completely different climates in one country 🏛️🏖️. Cairo, Luxor, and the Pyramids are utterly unlike Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada on the Red Sea. The desert is scorching in summer but perfect in winter, and the Red Sea is warm and diveable almost year-round. Choosing your destination within Egypt determines when you should fly.

These four months are perfect for Egypt — comfortable weather for the landmarks, and a wonderful sea for diving. October–November for mild autumn, and March–April for ideal spring 🌟

When to Avoid

JulyAugust

Summer in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan is genuinely inhumane — 45°C in the shade makes any outdoor landmark tour a serious ordeal. Even the Red Sea gets uncomfortably hot. If you have no choice, take your tours at dawn and return to the hotel by midday 😅

Egypt is a destination that deserves two separate trips — one for the Pharaonic civilization and one for the Red Sea. Choose its autumn or spring and you'll understand why it has dazzled the world for thousands of years 🇪🇬🏛️
