The best time to visit Egypt is autumn and spring. In the winter months (February-March), due to the wind in Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh, it may not be very comfortable when entering the water. At the same time, it is most convenient to make excursions to Luxor and Cairo in winter, when it is not so hot and stuffy.JANUARY
Arrivals from 10 to 20 January are among the most inexpensive of the year. The sea has not yet completely cooled down, the water temperature is 22 degrees. During the day, the air warms up to 25 degrees, in the evening it can drop to 15 degrees. There may, of course, be days when the sun will be in a haze, but still tan and have a good rest. A small number of tourists in the resorts and therefore there are no problems with places in hotels. Although every year the number of tourists who want to relax cheaply is increasing.
FEBRUARY
The coldest month of the year. Prices are higher than in January, but still remain inexpensive. The water is the coldest of the year, but Russians swim. As luck would have it with the weather. There may be days when the air temperature will be 15 degrees during the day, and 8 degrees at night. Another feature of February is that Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca and then go to resorts to rest, so do not be surprised at the large number of Arabs in hotels in the first half of February.
MARCH
Prices pr

MARCH
Prices continue to rise every week, but the air temperature is also getting higher. The last two weeks of the month are not just strong winds, but also sandstorms. And keep in mind that after two of the coldest months, the water finally cooled down and did not have time to warm up from the first warm days. Prices traditionally stay a little higher for the first week of the month, coinciding with March 8, and the last week falling on children's holidays.
APRIL
It became finally warm, during the day the air warms up to 30-32 degrees. The sea is getting warmer every day. But European tourists are also starting to catch up, so do not expect super low prices, hotels are normally loaded and do not lower prices for accommodation.

MAY
An ideal place for the May holidays. The weather is just fabulous. Our holidays coincide with the Arab holidays. Due to the high demand, there are problems with places in hotels. And as a result, almost the highest prices of the year, sometimes even higher than for the New Year. For the holidays, of course, there can be no question of any last-minute tours, all hotels must be booked in advance. In the second half of May, prices return to the level of April, but Egypt has a strong competitor in the face of Turkey, in which the beginning of the season and very low prices for the second half of May

JUNE
The month of the traditional drop in demand, both from the Russians and from the Europeans, as the season opens in the Mediterranean resorts. And in Egypt, the heat is, it will not seem a little. But the prices, especially on the twentieth of the month, are just super low.
JULY AUGUST
Vacation time. If in the autumn-winter months the demand is mainly for tours of 8-10 days, then in the summer tourists go for 12-15 days. The heat is unbearable. If in the winter months you go sunbathing from 11 am to 3 pm, then in the summer early in the morning until 11 am and in the afternoon. And during the day, moving in short dashes from an air-conditioned room to an air-conditioned reception. The sun is very active, you burn out in half an hour. You can't do without protective creams. But the resorts are full of Arabs, Europeans. During these months, all hotels are filled from cheap 2 * to the most elite 5 *.

SEPTEMBER
Great weather, hot but tolerable. Water is like fresh milk. The average number of tourists in hotels. Low prices for travel packages. In addition, September is the most windless month of the year. The price, which fell at the beginning of the month, gradually rises in price every week. In September, Egypt is a profitable alternative to Turkey, where prices in September are very high.
OCTOBER
The best month of the year. The perfect combination of water and air temperature. October is really the best time to travel to Egypt. Prices keep going up every week.

NOVEMBER
At European seaside resorts, the season ends, and tourists who want to relax flock to Egypt. And in Egypt, the air is hot 32 degrees, water 26 degrees. The weather is wonderful. Prices are very high in the first week of the month, due to the November holidays coinciding with the children's holidays. The hotels have a large number of families with children. First of all, family-oriented hotels and all-inclusive meals are sold out. Especially high demand for Hurghada with its sandy beaches. Further, throughout November, the average price level is maintained. Hotels are quite well loaded with tourists. In November, Muslims observe a strict fast, they have Ramadan. By the end of Ramadan, many Arabs go to resorts to relax. And sometimes there are overlaps with travel companies with the resettlement of tourists. First of all, places are given to the Arabs, then to the Europeans, and only then to the Russians. In such cases, there are relocations from one hotel to another.

DECEMBER
From December 1 to December 20, the off-season period. The prices are very low, the hotels are half empty. The sea has not cooled down yet, the air warms up to 28 degrees during the day. Of the winter months, the most preferred for a trip to Egypt. From December 20, Europeans begin to fill hotels for Catholic Christmas. For the New Year, as always, there is already a huge demand for both Russians and Europeans. In recent years, arrivals have become more and more popular not on the New Year itself, but immediately after the holiday on January 2, 3. And the most scarce tours are those with arrivals from January 2 to 12. Prices are high, but all popular hotels are sold out in more than a month. For New Year and Orthodox Christmas prices are equally high.

Prices with arrivals in the last days of the month are often cheaper than arrivals in the first days of the next month, since most people take vacations at the beginning of the month.

In December, the sea is +22, +23, the air is +26, +30.
For December in Egypt, Sharm El Sheikh is more suitable, it is less windy there.
There are fruits in Egypt all year round, in December strawberries, mangoes, dates, fesalis, guava and many others ...
Leisure for young people - choose a hotel in Naama Bay in Sharm.
Excursions choose at will, - historical, entertaining, sea.
Almost everyone knows Russian in the resort areas - communication is no problem.
аватар Kyslytskyi
I really like to relax in Egypt and I can say from my own experience that in December there are almost no young people. go to the disco and your problem is solved ;)
аватар Anetka-gan
I almost always rest in December. the main priority in choosing this month is a fairly low price and a minimum of tourists!
the weather is always good, cool in the evening. we won't get out of the sea.
full of fruits: strawberry, mango, melon, guava, etc.
full of excursions, any you want
young people are all year round.
always more comfortable in Sharm El Sheikh, the beaches are in the bays.

Or maybe then immediately advise hotels in Naama Bay?
аватар Anetka-gan

excellent Hilton, Sonesta (first and second line), Novotel.
cheap threesome (but decent) - bay view

аватар Anetka-gan

аватар Zlata28
Anetka-gan
so the author of the question did not talk about Sharma
the question was about Egypt in general (or rather about Egypt in December)
аватар Anetka-gan
so already asks hotels in Naama =)
аватар Zlata28
December is still so far away
and Naama will have time to change a hundred times for Nabq
Nabq on Sharks Bay
and Sharks Bay to Hurghada))))))))))))))) and so several times in a circle
аватар Anetka-gan
but not Nabq =))) it's better to fly to Dahab or Mars and dive all day long! =)
аватар Fiusha
Girls, do not quarrel))) Interested in absolutely everything with regards to rest in December. Because there was an opinion that in Naama the most windless place (I had already heard about the winter winds), therefore I took an interest in the hotels there, otherwise it was somehow difficult to unknowingly determine which hotel was located)). Suggest any other options?
аватар Anetka-gan
nah we don't quarrel =)))) what are you =)
about the winds - they are better than the bay - El Maya and Naama Bay. Also Sharks Bay. it's all charm naturally. BUT in El Maya the beaches are bad.
I always take a hotel in Hadaba and go to different beaches. mostly wild.
аватар nadin65
I support Anetka-gan - but not Nabk =))) (it's a pity that + I can't put it, I spent everything in the morning).
I choose hotels in Hadab, and we go to different beaches, often wild ones near El Maya Bay, or to the paid Phanara.
I don't consider Nabq at all, it's not for me.
аватар Anetka-gan
Nadia replenish pluses tomorrow =)
although, my first vacation in Egypt was in Nabq. and then it seemed to me - paradise. =)))
аватар nadin65
For the first time in Egypt, I got to Hurghada, and was simply shocked by everything - hello 150 times a day, my jaw hurts from smiles, compliments right up to nausea, everything annoyed me, even if you didn’t leave the room. By the end of the holiday, they let it go, they began to get used to it, and only at home a month later they realized that they had been to PARADISE!
P.S. back then we didn’t have a computer, and even more so the Internet, there was no one to tell, we rested like suckers.
After the third trip, by chance there were cheap tours to Sharm and we took because of the price. Arriving and seeing this miracle - fell in love at first sight! And no one annoys us anymore, now we can bring the locals to the white knee - by talking.
