Look, I’ve lived in Хургада for over 15 years now. I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen tourists landing in August wearing hoodies (why?!) and I’ve seen poor souls shivering in shorts just because the internet told them Египет is “always hot.”
Here’s the thing—internet weather charts don’t tell you about the wind. And in Хургада? The wind is the boss.
So, if you want the “official” answer, go check Wikipedia. But if you want the real advice from someone who actually sweats through the July heat and wears a jacket in February evenings, you’re in the right place.
⚡ The “Cheat Sheet”
For the impatient ones (you just want to know when to book, right?), here is the quick summary.
❄️ Winter: Dec, Jan, Feb
The “It’s Not That Hot” Season
Real talk? €peans love this season. I meet Germans and British tourists walking around in t-shirts while I’m wearing a heavy coat. They tell me, “Salem, it’s 23 degrees! This is summer for us!”
- No sweating. Walk for hours comfortably.
- Ценаs drop. Luxury for less.
- Jan vs July? Night and Day difference.
- Wind: It cuts right through you.
- Heated Pools: Mandatory. Check reviews!
- Cold Nights: Hoodie required after 5 PM.
🌼 Spring: March – May
The “Khamsin” Roulette. March can be sandy. April is good. May is beautiful.
🔥 Summer: June – September
The Oven. Best time for sun? Yes. But it is 40°C.
For Divers
For Budget Saving

This is the Golden Season.
The sea holds the heat (warm soup), air is 30°C. Perfection.
