Splendor Journeys

The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, when temperatures are cooler, but still pleasantly warm across the country. This makes exploring the busy streets of Cairo, visiting the Pyramids in the desert, and exploring ancient Pharaonic tombs more comfortable and enjoyable.

The summer season (May to September) is hot, although the high temperatures are alleviated by very dry air, air conditioning, far fewer visitors and lower prices. This means summer is still a viable season for your trip. There also tends to be a bit of a breeze on the Nile, making a river cruise a good choice during this period.

Month-by-month guide for traveling in Egypt

Visiting Egypt in January - March

January through to March is usually sunny and warm, with occasional rain. This is within the peak traveling season as temperatures are cooler and more comfortable than in the summer months, which means that hotels, cruises and sites can get very busy; particularly around the new year period.

Events & Festivals
  • The West Bank Marathon (late January or early February): This 22 km (14 mile) marathon is held on the banks of the Nile.
