Best Time to Visit Egypt

October to April is the main tourist season and the right time to visit for most travellers. Temperatures in Upper Egypt (Luxor, Aswan) are pleasant - around 25-30°C - and the Nile cruise conditions are excellent.

November to February is peak season. Cairo and Luxor are at their most comfortable, the tombs and temples are busy but manageable, and the Nile is calm and clear.

March and April bring warmer temperatures and occasional khamsin sandstorm season, but the sites are largely uncrowded and prices are lower than peak winter season.

May to September is very hot across the country, reaching 45°C or above in Upper Egypt. The Red Sea resorts (Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh) remain viable with beach and diving activities.
