Many tourists consider Egypt as an option for winter holidays. “DIP” will tell you whether it is worth going to Africa.
Even though you will have to fly to Africa, which is associated with eternal warmth, winter in Egypt is still felt. December, January, and February are calendar-compliant and colder than other months throughout the country. And if the Egyptians themselves call December the “velvet season”, then the following months can hardly be called very comfortable.
It will be quite possible to swim in the sea, but it will be unpleasant to be in the air, and the sand on the beach will be cold. It will be frankly cool in the morning and evening, you will have to wear warm hoodies, besides, there is a rather strong wind in Egypt. But during the day there is an opportunity to sunbathe in the sun.
In areas where there are coral reefs, the water will be much warmer. But for sure you will find days when it will be warmer in the water than on the shore. Therefore, it is important to take slates and thick towels with you.
However, the flow of tourists to Egypt during the winter months decreases quite slightly. Hotel prices are falling, you can at least sleep in a beautiful place, eat delicious food and go to the spa. In addition, this is a great time for excursions. At +50°C, you will hardly want to enjoy the views of the pyramids of Giza or the Sinai mountains, but in winter it is.
Also, do not forget that in Egypt you can “catch” a variety of diseases, so it is important to monitor hygiene, not eat food in the markets, and not drink tap water.
