Takeaway of Egypt’s Weather

• Egypt is blessed with sunshine, no matter whether you will be there. So, don’t forget to bring your sunscreen. You will need it a lot, especially for historical Egypt tours.
• Even in winter, bring the summer clothes you’d need, especially if you’d visit Luxor and Aswan. The weather is still warm with a gentle breeze. 
• Rain here is rare or almost non-existent— you will not need your raincoat. But if you plan to spend several days on the coast (Alexandria and other coastal cities), you’d expect little rainfall.
• The best time to visit Egypt is between October and May. However, if you plan to have an unmissable beach time on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, you can definitely visit Egypt anytime. 
• Generally, the hottest months in Egypt are June, July, and August (Here is the super local tip: DON’T COME TO EGYPT IN AUGUST unless you plan to fly to the North Coast. You will be rewarded with turquoise water and upbeat summer vibes.
