Best time to visit Egypt

Egypt does not have a single best season. Its 5 destinations peak across 4 different months, which means an itinerary that moves around the country will be in the right season for some of it and the wrong one for the rest — worth building the route around.

Averaged across every destination listed, Egypt is at its best in March, scoring 96 out of 100, with December close behind at 95. August is the weakest month nationally at 51. The workable window is wide — 6 months sit within eight points of the best — so a trip covering several of these places has room to move.

There is real variation inside Egypt: 32 °C annually in Sharm el-Sheikh against 22 °C in Port Said. Rain splits the country further: Port Said sees 33 wet days a year against 0 in Hurghada, which is a different kind of trip rather than a slightly damper one.
