Best time to visit Alexandria:

Spring (March to May): This season offers mild temperatures, making it a pleasant time to visit Lower Egypt. The weather is warm but not too hot, and it's a great time for sightseeing and exploring historical sites without the intense heat of summer.

Autumn (September to November): Similar to spring, autumn offers comfortable temperatures, making it another good time to visit. It's also less crowded compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

Winter (December to February): Lower Egypt experiences cooler temperatures during winter, but it's still relatively mild compared to many other regions. This period might be preferable for travelers who enjoy cooler weather and want to avoid the summer crowds.

Summer (June to August): Summers in Lower Egypt can be scorching hot, with temperatures often reaching very high levels. While it's a peak time for tourists due to school vacations, the extreme heat might make outdoor activities and sightseeing uncomfortable for some visitors.
