The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April. During these months, days are warm instead of scorching, and sightseeing stays comfortable from morning to late afternoon.
However, the best month for you depends on where you are going and what you want to do. Luxor in July feels very different from Cairo in December. A beach week on the Red Sea follows its own calendar.
This guide covers weather, crowds, festivals and regional differences. It also shows how a private itinerary can make even the hot months work. Use it to pick your dates with confidence.
