Best time to visit Egypt

Egypt can be visited year-round, but based on the ideal climate conditions, cost of travel, and avoiding peak holiday periods, August is the best time to go.

In the summer months, temperatures can reach as high as 40℃ (104℉) in Cairo, Egypt. In the winter, temperatures can get down to 8℃ (47℉) around January-time. In other areas of Egypt, temperatures might differ so be sure to compare other destinations below.

If you want to get the most out of your time visiting Egypt, or you’re just afraid of the dark, the days in July are usually the longest between sunrise and sunset. To stay dry, avoid travelling to Egypt in March – It’s the wettest month of the year.
