Best time to travel to Egypt

The perfect time to visit Egypt is between October and April when the weather is cooler and less tourists are present, especially if you’re looking to explore the ancient pyramids and archeological sites.

June through September brings scorching heat, making it difficult to explore and sightsee during the day, but the weather will cool at night for light shows around the pyramids and dinner cruises along the Nile.

Most of Egypt doesn’t see much rain, but you will find the majority of rainfall occurring between January and February throughout the country.
