Are you interested in Egypt, but you can only go on vacation in December? Could the desired tourist trip take place or will it have to be postponed? Important tips will surely allow you to make the only right decision.
December weather
Beach holidays in December begin to lose their attractiveness, despite the fact that Egypt is a country with a warm climate. You can swim and sunbathe at any time of the year, but on some days there are strong winds that prevent you from enjoying your stay on the chic local beaches.
In Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, the daytime air and water temperatures are around 24C.
In Hurghada, daytime temperatures can reach 23C. Water also reaches the same temperature mark. It is important to note that one of the most popular resorts for winter holidays is Sharm el-Sheikh, because there are no very strong winds here.
It can be cold in Egypt at night. In Nuweiba, Dahab and Taba the temperature can be as high as 16C, but the Hurghada area has a lower temperature, namely 13 degrees. The special weather set in December in Egypt suggests the need to take not only a swimsuit and sunburn cream, but also warm clothes.
How to spend a vacation in Egypt in December
- December has a significant impact on beach holidays. In summer, the best time to stay on the beaches is in the morning and evening, in winter - during the day. It is important to take into account that it gets dark early in winter, and sea bathing at night is prohibited.
- A tourist trip can be safely filled with acquaintances with the best sights of Egypt, because the heat is gone, and walks can be really pleasant. However, remember that it can be cold at night and warm clothing is essential. If you decide to climb Mount Moses at night, be sure to take with you not only a light windbreaker, but also a warm sweater. Be sure to check the weather forecast, because in December in Egypt there are sandstorms.
- In December, Cairo traditionally hosts the International Film Festival, which is special for the entire cinematic world. At this festival, films are presented by delegations from different countries. In addition, viewers have the opportunity to see new films that are nominated for the Oscar.
Deciding on a vacation in Egypt at the beginning of winter, you can make sure that your pastime will be pleasant and intense, and affordable prices for tours will truly delight you.
