Best time to Explore Egypt

The exclusive holiday appeal of Egypt prompts many people to book their tickets to the country. However, before you plan your travel check out the best times for visiting Egypt.

Perfect Time for a Red Sea Visit

Red Sea resort destinations like Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh are compel hundreds of travellers to book their flights to Egypt. Many travellers find the summer months of June to September the best time for heading here. In fact, summers are also the time, when there are higher possibilities of finding cheap flights to Egypt. Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh and most of the other Red Sea coastal areas have a similar climate to Aswan, with the difference that the Red Sea area is usually a little warmer during winters and cooler during summers.

Egypt during Ramadan

Tourism in Egypt is at low ebb during the holy fasting month of Ramadan. However, this is the precise reason due to which many airlines operate cheap flights to Egypt during this time. In fact, other than cheap airlines tickets, visitors can also look forward to scores of cheap hotel deals. Anyone planning a travel during Ramadan which is expected to last from 1st August to 30th August this year should be aware of the fact that during days, most businesses stay shut for longer hours and one is not likely to quickly find food or beverages in public places. However, travellers booking their flights to Egypt during Ramadan can look forward to an electrifying local nightlife full of iftaar parties and merrymaking.

When to Cruise the Nile

A Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor is a major part of tourism in Egypt. Many cruise companies receive travellers right at the Cairo Airport and whisk them away to a suitable hotel before starting with the cruise. These cruises are best planned from October to April as the weather is pleasantly cool. During summers, weather can prove to be too hot for visiting the tombs of Luxor and the other major highlights of a cruise holiday.
