When is the best time to visit Egypt?

The question we get most often: when is the best time to visit Egypt?

Short answer: October to April. Long answer is more interesting.

October and November: the sweet spot

Temperatures between 22 and 30°C, clear skies, the Nile at its best. Hotels are most expensive but it's worth it.

May to September: amazing prices, but hot

If you can handle 38-42°C at midday (especially in Luxor and Aswan), you'll find prices up to 30% lower and far fewer tourists. We start visits at 6am and rest at midday.
