Beach holidays in Egypt

Resorts in Egypt have long become a classic beach holiday. Throughout the year, thousands of desperate surfers, enthusiastic divers, solitary seekers of peace and quiet, come to the Red Sea coast, families with children and hosiery youth companies come here. Seduced by the hot sun, warm sea, oriental hospitality and interesting entertainments, tourists again and again return to the country of sands, pharaohs and pyramids.

When to go

In fact, the swimming season in Egypt does not stop throughout the year, even in winter Egyptian resorts continue to pamper tourists with warmth and sunshine. But if you look in detail, periods of high and low tourist season exist in Egyptian resorts.

Seduced by the hot sun, warm sea, oriental hospitality and interesting entertainments, tourists again and again return to the country of sands, pharaohs and pyramids.

It is believed that the most favorable time for visiting this country is autumn. At this time in Egypt is set not too hot, but comfortable for sunbathing and swimming weather. In winter, a full beach vacation is also possible, but do not forget about the coastal winds, which can spoil the mood in some resorts.

By the way, prices for tours to Egypt in December usually noticeably increase, after all the New Year on the nose.

Spring brings with it a fall in the cost of permits and warming. By the way, the Egyptian spring is the most favorable time for diving. Of the unpleasant surprises that can await you on vacation, it is worth noting a possible meeting with jellyfish. However, if it calms you down, the jellyfish that inhabit the shores of the Red Sea sting painfully, but not fatal.

With the onset of summer in Egypt, this heat begins. Earlier it was believed that visiting Egyptian resorts at this time is undesirable, but recently the number of tourists who go to Egypt in the summer is growing. It can not be said that a beach holiday in Egypt in the summer months will be unsuccessful, but it will hardly be possible to combine it with a sightseeing tour because of the heat.
