Egypt’s tourist seasons offer something for every kind of traveler, and choosing the right time can make all the difference. For the ideal blend of manageable weather and thinner crowds, travelers should aim for March, April, or the months of September and October. During these periods, tourists can explore majestic temples and cruise the Nile in comfort, with the bonus of beautiful light for photography. Meanwhile, summer turns the country into an oven, but dedicated divers flock to the Red Sea for calm waters and superb visibility. And as temperatures cool from October to February, Egypt becomes ideal for exploring ancient ruins, desert adventures, and winter sun escapes. For tourists who want to visit during Ramadan, bear in mind that tourist sites, shops, and services operate shorter hours.
