Egypt Weather

Be sure to pack lightly before you embark on your trip to Egypt. Unless you’re planning on staying near the Mediterranean coast, expect most of the country to experience a hot, dry, typical desert climate, which reaches its peak in the summer months of June, July and August. Winter begins in December and ends in February, with average temperatures fluctuating between 68 to 79 degrees F.

Cairo gets very little rain—its completely dry May through October, while November through April see between 0.1 and 0.2 inches of rain. Its temperature, meanwhile, ranges from a chilly 48 degrees during the nighttime in January to a sizzling 93 degrees during the daytime in June and July.
