The beach season in Egypt lasts year-round thanks to a hot subtropical climate. In winter, in summer or in the off-season, you can come to this country of pharaohs and pyramids to enjoy the warm sea, the hot sun and the beauty of local attractions. However, the rest in Egypt still varies by season: there is a "high", "low" and velvet seasons, as well as an unfavorable time - a season of winds. Let's look at each of them individually to understand when it's best to rest in Egypt.
The beginning of the holiday season in Egypt
When the swimming season begins in Egypt, it is difficult to say. Even in January, the water temperature in the sea is + 22 ° C, and air + 25 ° C. Therefore, traditionally the beginning of the holiday season in Egypt is the New Year. In this business, there is even the concept of a "tourist season in Egypt", when trips to the resorts of this country are the most expensive. In addition to New Year's holidays, May holidays can be included here.
After the end of all New Year's holidays (approximately after January 10) there comes a temporary lull, and travel agencies give good discounts for trips to Egypt. Therefore, if you want to rest in Egypt inexpensively, the second half of January is a good time to go there! The main thing is to have time before the wind season starts.
Season of winds in Egypt
From the second half of winter, at the end of January and all February, winds are raging in Egypt. Sometimes here even there are snowfalls, however, short.
In spring, in early March, sand storms often rise in Egypt. They usually last only a few days, while the air is hot enough - 25-28 ° C. Winds and sand storms bring great discomfort to both tourists and local residents. However, lovers of exotic and cheap vouchers still come to Egypt at this time, choosing resorts closed from the desert by mountains (such as, for example, Sharm El Sheikh).
When the season of winds and storms in Egypt ends in late April, the second tourist "wave" comes. The influx of tourists in the summer, of course, is much less than on New Year's, but still quite large. Most people plan to leave in the summer, and want to use it to the maximum, including resting a week in Egypt. In summer there is heat, and many lovers of warmth come here to warm up. However, consider that the rest with young children this season will not be very comfortable, first, because of the heat, and secondly, due to the temperature drop. If possible, it is better to move it closer to the autumn, when in Egypt there will come a classic velvet season.
The Velvet season
In autumn, before the season of winds, in Egypt, the velvet season lasts. At this time, mild weather reigns here. The sun does not fry as much as in summer, and the water temperature does not drop below 24-28 ° C. In October, Egypt is traditionally warmer than in November, but it should be discounted for possible natural disasters that have occurred recently.
In the autumn they come here to calmly,
The later in the autumn you decided to relax at the resorts of Egypt, the more likely it is to see rain there. As such, the rainy season in Egypt does not exist, but in the autumn here sometimes there are rainy days, and more often - nights. However, the resorts located on the Red Sea coast are always dry and warm. Autumn and winter are very comfortable for staying here.
