If you are thinking of visiting the famous pyramids and you don\u2019t know when to travel to Egypt, <\/strong>we would say that there are two general periods to travel to this country. Furthermore, depending on the region the climate may vary, so you must take all of this into account when planning your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Time to Travel to\nEgypt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, you should\nnote that generally there are two best periods to travel to Egypt. The first is\nfrom March to May, and the second from September to November. Of course, it is\nonly reasonable to avoid the summer months due to the heat of the desert.\nSimilarly, winter is discouraged as temperatures fall considerably at night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the\nclimate of this country in the north-east of Africa is subtropical. Summers are\nvery hot and dry, while winters are generally mild. The hottest months are from\nthe end of May to the beginning of September. Of course, there are clear\ndifferences between the coastal regions and central regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the coast, temperatures\nare more moderate, with minimum of 14\u00baC and maximum of 37\u00baC. In the centre,\nwhere it is mainly desert, the minimum temperature can fall to 0\u00baC at night,\nwhile during the day it reaches 46\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although all of Egypt is\nincluded within the desert\u2019s bioclimatic landscape, up to nine different ecological\nregions can be found within the country. From the Mediterranean forests and\nsteppes west of the Nile, to the salt marshes of the Sahara Desert. These\ndiverse climatic characteristics determine the temperatures of each region\nmarking some differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at when to\ntravel to Egypt depending on the place you plan to visit on your trip, and in\nwhat area of the country it is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to Travel to the Red\nSea <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most famous tourist\ndestinations in this area of Egypt are Sharm el Sheikh, Marsa Alam and El Gouna.\nThe main attraction of these places is to enjoy the beaches and good weather\nalmost all year round. In the Red Sea, the weather is warm, but not too hot\nthanks as a result of the sea breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the day, the\ntemperature does not exceed 30\u00baC, and at night the average is about 20\u00baC all\nyear round. To give you an idea, the average temperature in Sharm el Sheikh in\nwinter ranges from 13\u00baC to 21\u00baC. In summer, the average varies between 28\u00baC and\n37\u00baC. However, the best time to visit this area of Egypt is March and April if\nyou want to avoid the high tourist season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to Travel to the Nile\nValley <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To visit the great\npyramids, it is best to plan your trip between March and May. If you cannot go\nduring these months, the other option is between September and November.\nAlthough actually, from November until March is still a good time to visit this\nregion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summer, the\nclimate of the Nile Valley, like in Luxor, Aswan and Dakhla, is dry and arid.\nThe temperature can reach 40\u00baC, so this is not an ideal time to go if you want\nto enjoy your trip. It would be better to travel between November and March to\nhave more pleasant temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to Travel to the Nile\nDelta <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To visit Cairo or\nAlexandria in the Nile Delta, you will find the best temperatures between\nSeptember and November. Other good months to visit this region are March, April\nand May. Avoid summer, because the nights are very cold, and the temperature during\nthe day can be suffocating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Alexandria and its surroundings,\nin spring, April especially, the sirocco (hot desert wind) blows which causes\nsandstorms and rising temperatures. Furthermore, the average temperature ranges\nbetween 9\u00baC and 18\u00baC in winter, compared to 23\u00baC and 30\u00baC in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning to do a\ncruise along the Nile, between March and May is the tourist high season, so\nprices will be higher. On the other hand, from September to November, you will not\nonly have good weather, but it will also not be so crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to Travel to the\nCentre of Egypt <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are going to include\nAswan in your trip, you should know that the difference in temperatures are much\nmore pronounced. In winter, throughout January, the minimum temperature can be\n8\u00baC, and the maximum 23\u00baC. In June and July, the minimum will be 26\u00baC, while\nthe maximum will reach 41\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, we can summarise\nthat the best months to travel to Egypt are from October to March. However, for\nmost tourist attractions, between March and May, and September and November are\nthe most highly recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
