Weather and Climate in Egypt 

Characterized mainly by a sweltering desert climate, Egypt remains significantly dry throughout, apart from its northern areas along the Mediterranean Sea. These northern regions break from the norm, being comparatively more humid and receiving the lion's share of the country's annual rainfall, offering a contrasting picture to Egypt's otherwise arid landscape.

Summer in Egypt exhibits average temperatures hovering around 35 °C, but there can be instances where temperatures escalate beyond 40 °C. These extreme temperature spikes are often accompanied by increased levels of humidity, intensifying the overall heat experience during the country's summer months.

Winter ushers in a pleasant climate, making it a popular time for tourists, although it results in crowded tourist spots and slightly higher costs. Cities like Alexandria may receive occasional showers, contributing to increased dampness during this season.

Winter is recognized for being Egypt's breeziest season. During this time, daytime temperatures typically float around a comfortable 20°C. When night descends, the temperature can drop further towards 10°C, introducing a gentle chill. Mindfully sandwiched between the country's dominant hot desert climate, this period offers a refreshing contrast as it unveils Egypt's mild winter chill.

Getting Around in Egypt 

There are several international airports in Egypt: Cairo International Airport, Burg Al Arab Airport, Hurghada Airport, Luxor Airport, Marsa Alam Airport, and Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. The main and the busiest airport is Cairo International airport which serves both domestic and international flights to Asia and Europe. The airport is the hub for Egypt Air, Egypt Air Express, and Nile Air. Budget airlines such as Flynas and FlyEgypt also operate flights from this airport. 

Egypt has a dependable and efficient public transport network and tourists can travel by rail which covers a limited network of routes. Trains travel is the best option for long-distance travel and there are air-conditioned trains that offer a more comfortable option. But if you are looking for a cheaper alternative, a non-air-conditioned economy class is also available.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly and swift mode of travel, buses present an ideal choice. Primarily employed for longtrips, these buses conveniently link major cities across the country. Tickets for these bus journeys can be conveniently secured at the Cairo Gateway bus terminal, making it an easily accessible option for tourists interested in exploring the breadth of Egypt.

Taxis and Uber are available in most cities, providing easier travel for tourists. In Cairo, the taxis are painted white and black. In Alexandria, the taxis are painted orange and black. The taxis are generally metered but there are also taxis that will refuse to use the meters. Tourists should insist on using the meter or agree on a fare before getting into one. Long-distance group taxis are also available and are relatively cheap and be sure to agree on the fares and bargain if necessary.  

Tourist Visas in Egypt

Every traveler planning a visit to Egypt needs a visa, barring citizens from visa-exempt countries such as Bahrain, Hong Kong, and Saudi Arabia who are allowed to stay for up to 90 days without one.

A Visa-on-Arrival service, which simplifies the process, is available to several nationalities, including Australia, Japan, Russia, and all European Union citizens. This Visa-on-Arrival is valid for an initial 30 days but can be extended for another 30 days if needed. These visa policies aim to facilitate easier and regulated travel to and from Egypt.

For citizens of 46 countries, which includes major nations such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, an electronic visa is easily available. The e-Visa, valid for a 30-day period, can conveniently be applied for and obtained online via the official Egyptian government's website.

For all other nationals who don't fall under the visa exemption agreement, visa on arrival, or electronic visa categories, a visa application must be filed at their nearest Egyptian embassy or consulate. This makes the process of securing a visa to Egypt more streamlined and accessible, ensuring a smooth travel experience for visitors.

Additional information about the Visas:

• All visitors to Egypt must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond their intended date of departure from Egypt.
• Visitors who obtain a visa on arrival or an e-Visa must pay a visa fee. The visa fee varies depending on your nationality.
