October to April is considered the best time to go to Egypt, as the days are still warm but more bearable for exploring and being out and about over midday. December, January and February are the coldest months, averaging in the high-teens, or either side of winter – October, November or March, April – are more mid to high-20s. If you want to go when it’s cheapest, summer is actually the low season, from May to August, when it can get pretty hot.
