Best time to visit Egypt:

Winter Season (November to February): This period is often considered the best time to visit Egypt. The weather is milder and more comfortable, making it ideal for exploring historical sites like the Pyramids, temples, and tombs. It's also perfect for cruising the Nile and enjoying other outdoor activities.

Summer Season (March to October): Egypt experiences scorching temperatures during the summer months. While this time might not be ideal for extensive outdoor activities, it's a good time to visit coastal areas like Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada for beach and water activities due to the Red Sea's pleasant temperatures.
