I've been to Egypt in June/July a few times, and it's my favorite time. It's scorching, the sun is high up, and everything is bright and glowing. You will feel a real Egyptian desert experience. 🙂
I have gone to Egypt several times and have only gone once during the cooler months and it is packed. I love going in the summer month it's less people and the prices are much better too. You can get great deals at many of the top rated hotels. One other things about Egypt is the delivery service. You can get any food ideas delivered makes it great for staying in and relaxing around the pool.
You’re totally right in that the summer is the best time for cheaper prices and no crowds. I just can’t handle sightseeing in the desert in the heat of the summer in Luxor and Aswan! If anyone does go in the summer, I recommend making your schedule so that you do all sightseeing from extremely early, like 6am-11am, and then relax at your hotel pool during the heat of the day (or do air conditioned museums), and then venture out at night for nightlife and street food. And yes, the delivery is great!
Wish I watched this video before going to Egypt. Did not know they usually do not have heaters in the apartments. Cairo was OK but It was very cold and windy in Alexandria in January. Even very cold for a person from Estonia, which has quite cold winters.
Yes, I agree! I am from Minnesota which is super cold in the winter, but the problem in Egypt is that if it is cold outside, it's also cold inside, with most places not having heat!
Ive been to Egypt a lot, my husband is Egyptian and I have to say the best time to go to Egypt is anytime. 😁 Thats how much I love it. The people of Egypt are the nicest people you will ever meet in your whole life and the food, well thats a whole nother topic. ♥
I am here in Cairo in the middle of November and the temperatures have been 23-26C the whole time. I enjoy these temps and wouldn't want it any hotter.
Interesting. I have been and I would recommend most people to go outside of the high season but also avoid the heat if you cannot stand high temperatures. Believe me, it is HOT in July and August above all. Yes, there are less tourists but if you have to go then, I highly recommend, what this excellent video did not mention (!) is to stay at a decent hotel with a swimming pool, with Air con inside the hotel. Decent eateries inside the hotel. Get up early every day and do the excursions from as early as 5am and by the time you get back to your hotel, the pool will be an excellent way to cool down. Then there are the eateries inside the hotel where your can eat, your room where you will most definitely relax as you will have woken early to go out and avoid the torrid heat of the day. From 19.30 hours the streets start being busy as the sun goes down earlier at these times and it becomes cooler so the local people go out for a walk, do their shopping etc. I have been as I said and when there are too many tourists it is unbearable, but when the summer months come, you can enjoy what Egypt has to offer if you plan well enough. I would also say, that where you begging your holiday adventure is important. Luxor is located in a better place than Cairo if you want to see all the most important places. From Luxor a cruise down the Nile in direction to Aswan and Abu Simbel are a must. From there, again you can take a plane to Karnak, see all there is to see, fly to Cairo, and tour that part of Egypt. Alexandria is for those who want a European holiday…
Although tourist sites in the summer are great for the travelers who don't mind hot weather, prioritize having fewer people there and do not like crowds, and who want a discount!
Hi Gus, I am planning to go this June, but I am not good at the heat, I am from Florida, but I can not bear Florida heat, how bad is Egypt in June? Should I wait for the end of the year better? Thank you for your insights. I like your channel.
Hi, We are planning cairo trip during mid august 2024. I am from india and here temp remains around 32-35 .C. How about cairo during this time? Will it be Ok for us? PLease share your experience..
Hi There! It’s definitely doable, as long as you all don’t mind the heat. The best way to sightsee in the summer is: 1. Book a hotel with a pool 2. Wake up super early and sightsee from 6-7am until 11am-12pm 3. Break for lunch and hang at the pool (or in the AC) 4. Go back out in the evenings to do things like a sound and light show, or the Khan El Khalilii market, or a museum that has evening hours 5. Optional during the peak heat to do a museum like the Luxor Museum that has AC
I am looking to go Hurghada Egypt in November with a group of us. Me and my partner really want to go do all the tourist sites but I know a few of the others are more beachy/lay by the pool all day..... will the weather in November be good for both? I personally would hate doing tourist things is anything over 35 degrees celsius as ill melt! But am worried it wont be hot enough to chill out at beach & pool or will its still be?
In Hurghada, during the day it gets up to 27 degrees C on average in November and is sunny most days. If that's good pool/beach weather for you, awesome! In Luxor (where the main tourist sites are), it's around 28 degrees C during the height of the day, and much cooler in the morning and evenings. I think it's pretty mild and pleasant. And Cairo will be cooler than both Hurghada and Luxor, so visiting the Pyramids and sites there is great at that time of year. Have an awesome trip!

Everything related to tourism is still open, so it’s not a bad time to visit. People will in general be a bit more tired and potentially grouchy when fasting, and a lot of local restaurants may not be open during the day, but all the ones catering to tourists will be running as normal 👍🏼
I would recommend searching Google for "Average temperature in [city in Egypt] in May to see the numbers. In my experience, it will be hot and sunny in those destinations during those dates--very nice weather if you like hot and lots of sun! Have a great trip!
I m an about to visit Cairo in March before Ramadan start 1 day😅🎉 , my plan is from 5 th til 15, if that good to travel ? Because Ramadan is start 10 th March. By theway i travel alone and can i have private guides
That sounds good to me -- you will experience Egypt before and during Ramadan! Yes, you can travel alone and hire guides. Feel free to go to my website and fill out the interest form if you'd like to work together: www.egyptadventurestravel.com/egypt-trip-interest-form
It gets pretty hot down in Luxor and Aswan; Cairo is fairly warm as well. Alexandria and the North Coast are lovely, but also begin to get overrun with Egyptians on holiday. The Red Sea is hot and sunny. It’s also shoulder season, so slightly fewer foreign tourists!
I agree-it’s one of my favorite times to visit. However, travelers should know that the time around December 25 can be very busy and much more expensive-plan on booking your trip far in advance if you’re coming on these dates.

I’m glad you like it during that time! I prefer October-May, but everyone likes something different. It’s definitely less crowded in the summer 👍🏼

I agree! Go anytime! I just prefer going when it’s not so hot. And yes, the food…so delicious 😍
thanks for the introduction!
My pleasure!
I am here in Cairo in the middle of November and the temperatures have been 23-26C the whole time. I enjoy these temps and wouldn't want it any hotter.
Yes, November-April are my favorite times weather-wise.
Is it still hot in mid November like for tanning @EgyptAdventuresTravel

Thank you so much for adding in all of this insight! I agree with everything that you said. Thanks again for sharing :)
Hey Gus...So Funny I was just talking about Ramadan on Instagram with you..Just saw you had posted about same thing..Great timing.
Right?! Perfect timing 😇
I like the content of this video which is packed with the useful information for traveling in Egypt.😀👍👍
Thank you!
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel You are welcome.🙏🙌🙌🙏
Beach = summer and during Ramadan as the hotels are empty
Tourist sites = Winter, more busy but the cooler weather makes up for it
Yes--this is a very good quick summary!
Although tourist sites in the summer are great for the travelers who don't mind hot weather, prioritize having fewer people there and do not like crowds, and who want a discount!
January can be nice
I agree 😊
Hi Gus, I am planning to go this June, but I am not good at the heat, I am from Florida, but I can not bear Florida heat, how bad is Egypt in June? Should I wait for the end of the year better? Thank you for your insights. I like your channel.
Thanks! I recommend going November-April if you do not like heat. You can look up average temperatures for June; it’s very hot!
How is it in end February? I’m planning a visit end of next month.
Thanks for your advice.😊
I love it in February! Sunny, warm, and not as busy as the Christmas holiday season.
Hi, We are planning cairo trip during mid august 2024. I am from india and here temp remains around 32-35 .C. How about cairo during this time? Will it be Ok for us? PLease share your experience..
Cairo will be similar-extremely hot! But it’s more of a dry heat. I recommend going October-May for the best weather.
I would like to go to Egypt with my young children (under the age of 6). Would you recommend I avoid the summer months or can it be doable?
Hi There!
It’s definitely doable, as long as you all don’t mind the heat. The best way to sightsee in the summer is:
1. Book a hotel with a pool
2. Wake up super early and sightsee from 6-7am until 11am-12pm
3. Break for lunch and hang at the pool (or in the AC)
4. Go back out in the evenings to do things like a sound and light show, or the Khan El Khalilii market, or a museum that has evening hours

I am going to visit sharm in the middle of the march. Does the water temperature is warm at that time
The water temperature in Sharm in March is on average 22 degrees Celsius 👍🏼

Will visiting Luxor in Ramadan is a good idea? Is everything there open? Museums, temples, boats?
Yes, everything is open! Lesser visited sites may close 1 hour early or so, but most everything should be open as normal.
Everything related to tourism is still open, so it’s not a bad time to visit. People will in general be a bit more tired and potentially grouchy when fasting, and a lot of local restaurants may not be open during the day, but all the ones catering to tourists will be running as normal 👍🏼
How about weather in May 10th till 25th
I will be road tripping to siwa - sinai - luxor - dahab - hurghada
I would recommend searching Google for "Average temperature in [city in Egypt] in May to see the numbers. In my experience, it will be hot and sunny in those destinations during those dates--very nice weather if you like hot and lots of sun! Have a great trip!
Thinking about traveling in February. I don’t mind the colder weather but will it be crowded?
It will be more crowded than in the warmer months, but I still think it will be a great time to go!
I m an about to visit Cairo in March before Ramadan start 1 day😅🎉 , my plan is from 5 th til 15, if that good to travel ? Because Ramadan is start 10 th March. By theway i travel alone and can i have private guides

During ramadan taking food or drinking water outside is prohibited or not?
Anyone can eat or drink anywhere during Ramadan.
لم تتحدث عن زيارة مصر في الخريف اكتوبر ونوفمبر
صح شكرا علشان رايك يا صديقي 💪🏼
what’s it like towards the end of may?
It gets pretty hot down in Luxor and Aswan; Cairo is fairly warm as well. Alexandria and the North Coast are lovely, but also begin to get overrun with Egyptians on holiday. The Red Sea is hot and sunny. It’s also shoulder season, so slightly fewer foreign tourists!
December can be fine
I agree-it’s one of my favorite times to visit. However, travelers should know that the time around December 25 can be very busy and much more expensive-plan on booking your trip far in advance if you’re coming on these dates.
How about September?
I usually avoid September because it is still a little too hot for me, but it is still a good time to visit!
did you learn Arabic 😅

@@EgyptAdventuresTravel wooow فشخ 😮😂😂you are oficially Egyptian
