When to go?

Peak travel season in Egypt runs from mid-October to May and this is the best time to visit. The tourist season is during winter and spring, but this is also the high season and prices go up at this time of year.

From May until October, the temperatures are fairly high, especially in Luxor and the southern parts of the country, yet summer offers a time to see Egypt in relative peace and quiet. It is a huge advantage being able to see the tourist sites without hassle from school children, or from the crowds of tourists.

Another very good time to visit Egypt is during the springtime. During spring the weather is fairly moderate.
