In November, the wind season begins in Egypt, but this does not mean that it will be completely uncomfortable there. In November, this country is quite comfortable and you can swim with pleasure. Moreover, at this time there are much fewer vacationers, especially with children, whose presence and their spontaneity may not be to someone's liking.
You can always change the number if you are not satisfied with something. And the sun is no longer beating as much as in the summer months, and under its gentle rays you will not burn or blister. And then at such a time it is much more convenient to make excursions, because Egypt, without sightseeing, turns into an ordinary vacation at sea in any other country. In November it will be very comfortable in Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada. Here during the day you can swim, sunbathe, get acquainted with the sights, and in the evenings "nightlife" awaits you. But in Alexandria it will be a little cooler.
In addition, since there are fewer tourists, then you can always be significantly inferior in the market. And at this time there are a lot of local fruits, and there is no need to talk about souvenirs, there are enough of them here at any time of the year. Therefore, a vacation in Egypt in November can turn into an unforgettable journey to this country with an ancient culture.
Must-see must-see
Of course, the Pyramids. And by the way, an excursion here for many in the summer is fraught with real trials - a tiring road from many resort cities in the heat, and in the pyramids themselves you can simply suffocate from the heat. But in November, you will just feel comfortable and will be able to carefully examine everything, enjoy your vacation and bring a sea of photos.
Arriving in Egypt, it is worth considering an excursion to Israel. Again, it will be much easier to reschedule the desert ride at this time of year. And if at this time it is calm in Israel, then be sure to visit Jerusalem with its main Christian shrines.
What souvenirs to grab from Egypt
Having visited this African country, you will definitely want to buy something as a souvenir. And here there is something to stop your gaze on.
- Pyramids, scarabs. They occupy, perhaps, one of the first places in the popularity rating. The scarab is the symbol of the country. In addition, it is believed that he is able to bring happiness to the house. They were used as talismans 5 thousand years ago. Scarabs are made of precious stones, gold, silver.
- Egyptian gods and pharaohs. There are a great many of them. You can also find an image of the traditional symbols for this country, the eyes "ujat" and a special cross "ankh". If you want these symbols to actually correspond to all traditions, then you should choose more expensive specimens: from basalt, alabaster or granite, and not gypsum, which can be split by dropping.
- Papyrus. If you buy a painting that belongs to the brush of one or another artist, then there must be an autograph. Real papyri do not break, and when twisted they do not crack. If there is a trace of twisting on it, then this is a fake. And in general, everything for which they ask for $ 2 is a fake, made from palm leaves or rice paper.
- Aromatic oils, hibiscus tea, various spices.
- Jewelry. Silver and items made of precious and semi-precious stones are especially loved here.
Holidays in Egypt are good almost at any time of the year. Come!
