Best time to travel Egypt
Egypt is Mediterranean climate which has two distinct seasons. May to October is summer and November to April is autumn.
Except for the hot and windy June to August in summer, which is not suitable for tourism, the weather at other times is pleasant for traveling in Egypt.
Although Egypt is located in Africa, the average daily temperature is not high, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large. So when you bring summer clothes, you should also bring some warm clothes.
