Egypt’s hot and sunny climate makes it suitable for year-round travel, although most choose to holiday between October and April when temperatures are moderate. Travellers visiting during Egypt’s summer months (June through September) will enjoy fewer crowds but must contend with sweltering temperatures, scheduling sightseeing during the early morning and late afternoon to avoid the hot midday sun. Egypt’s peak season falls over December and January.
