While there\u2019s never a bad time to visit one of the birthplaces of civilization, many travelers try to avoid Egypt in the summer because of the country\u2019s soaring temperatures and crowded attractions. If you\u2019re thinking about taking a journey down the Nile, consider visiting Egypt in the winter: not only will you enjoy the milder temperatures, you may get lucky and experience fewer crowds at those major must-see attractions Egypt is full of.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think a visit to Egypt in the winter could be for you, good news: we\u2019ve put together your ultimate guide.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Egypt’s weather in winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Egypt is a famously warm country – days spent in the sun, cruising along the Nile, and adventures in the desert are a major draw for this destination! So what happens when you visit in the winter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer may be what some travelers would think of as the perfect adventure weather. The stifling humidity of the summer months is long gone when you visit Egypt in the winter, and temperatures stay mild at an average of about 60\u00baF (20\u00baC) during the day. Nights are often significantly cooler, dipping down to about 50\u00baF (10\u00baC) or below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re planning on visiting Egypt in the winter, packing layers should be a priority. While it\u2019s certainly a warmer climate than many other countries in the winter months, it\u2019s not entirely unheard of to see cooler days – in recent years; there has even been mild snowfall in some parts of the country! Pack versatile, lightweight layers, and you should be all set for whatever Egypt may throw your way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The best things to do in Egypt in winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s always so much to see and do in Egypt, but visiting in the winter brings an extra dabble of festive cheer and community spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you\u2019ll have to visit the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx – is it really a trip to Egypt if you don\u2019t check out these iconic structures? Thankfully, a visit in the winter will usually be less crowded and overwhelming than visiting with the summer crowds. However, it\u2019s still a good idea to get there early and plan well in advance so that you have all the time you want to explore the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egypt is no stranger to cultural events, either – Cairo is home to the Cairo International Book Fair as well as the Tour d\u2019Egypte, a professional road cycling stage race, in the winter. If you celebrate Christmas and you\u2019re looking to celebrate in Egypt, your plans may have to be adjusted – Egypt\u2019s Christmas Day is observed by about 15% of its population and occurs on January 7th as per the Coptic tradition, not December 24th\/25th like we’re used to in the West.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
