As the practice of previous years shows, Ukrainians are not afraid of temperature changes, and they are very significant here in the winter months. Weather forecasters predict no more than 10-12 ° C for the next night. During the day the air will warm up to 20-22 ° С. The water temperature seems quite comfortable for a tourist not spoiled by warm seas – 24 ° C.
The feeling of cold is brought by the prevailing northern winds and the occasional cloudiness. Experienced tourists book hotels that are located in sheltered bays or have heated pools. The only heating in the hotel rooms is air conditioning, which switches to heat. Therefore, it is better to choose a modern hotel or find a complex after overhaul.
In the resorts of Sharm el-Sheikh in winter is always 1-2 degrees warmer than in Hurghada. High mountains and steep shores smooth out gusts of wind. On the hotel beaches are protected by special glass, and often wicker fences. The sun is hot enough and there is a lot of ultraviolet light to tan.
An additional positive is that strawberry season is in full swing in Egypt.
