tell me where and when is the best time to go to Egypt?
We want to go on vacation to Egypt with a child and a girlfriend (for the first time). When is the best time - in November or December, or is the weather the same? Offer Hurghada or Sharm el-Sheikh, which is better? Thanks in advance for your reply.

The weather of early November is different from the end of December. But in general, having arrived from the cold, it will not be especially noticeable. It is warm during the day, but it can be windy, cooler in the evening. It is a little warmer in Sharm, but still calmer in Hurghada. And the sea in Sharm is more beautiful (but that's just my opinion)

How many people with only and opinions. One likes Hurghada more and others like Sharm. Read the reviews and decide for yourself. But in my opinion, Sharm is a more European resort, and the sea is better there.

miki08 is right. There are no comrades for the taste and color :)
I will share my personal experience. For the first time I went to Egypt in Sharm. Then to Hurghada, then to Marsa Alam.
Sharm is the Sinai Peninsula. So this is Asia, not Africa. This is a mountainous desert. The climate is very dry. Humidity rarely rises above 35%. Therefore, in Sharm it is always very easy to breathe. In general, Sharm is not Egypt. This is an international resort: a special protected area with international rules. For the first visit to Egypt - what you need. You can go any month. Only in December - January it is already cool in the evenings.
Hurghada is a typical Egyptian city that has become a big international resort. This is Africa. This is Egypt. Humidity is higher. As a rule, 45 - 60%. That is, it feels like it's hot. Therefore, I go to Hurghada in December.
Marsa Alam is not a city at all. This is a strip along the sea for about 300 km: untouched desert, untouched sea. Africa. South of other resorts. Good in January, February.
But the wind. Although, in Egypt, the wind is always. In summer, it helps to endure the heat, and in winter it interferes when you come out of the warm sea to the shore. The sea is always not lower than +23 degrees.

For a trip with children, one cannot say which is better: Sharm or Hurghada. You have to look where the hotel is located. In Sharm, in Naama Bay, there are excellent sandy beaches with a smooth entry. Very good for children.
Hurghada has more sandy beaches, because. these are usually artificial lagoons. But they have poor water exchange with the sea. I mean, it can be dirty. When choosing a hotel, just look at the pictures from space. you can see there: where there is a reef, there is a bright strip with breakers along the coast. Good to see the water world. Where there is no strip, then this is a beach with a smooth entry into the sea. Good for kids.

My first vacation in Egypt was from December 7 in Hurghada. During the day it was about 30 in the sun, the sea was 24, and on the reefs where we sailed on the ship 26. I liked it very much in the evening, the temperature dropped to 18-16, we slept without air conditioning and it was very comfortable to walk in the evenings. I realized for myself that the best time for rest for me is mid-November-December, as well as mid-March-April.

I recommend going to Sharm. The entrance to the water is quite comfortable, and the underwater world is simply amazing! (Hurghada cannot boast such a rich underwater world!) Don't forget to bring your mask and fins. For children (and for you too) this sea will be a real discovery! Better than any aquarium)))

I was in Sharm in November 2009 during the day it was cool, but in the evenings they wore windbreakers cool, but it was comfortable in the room. Only once in the afternoon there was a sandstorm, in Sharm the oasis was all closed, the poet did not feel much. in November the water in the pool is cool, so it is comfortable to take a hotel where there is a bass. with heating, it is normal for children and adults

in December and January in Egypt during the day you can swim (even) not to mention sunbathing, and in the evenings - as you flew in from Moscow, in a coat and boots, you walk around
