With the small exception of its strip of Mediterranean coastline, the whole of Egypt has an arid desert climate. The weather is constantly hot and dry, with blistering heat in the summer months. The best time to travel to Egypt is during the winter, between December and February, when temperatures range between 68°F to 79°F (20 to 26°C).

Egypt Highlights can organise Nile cruises, city breaks to Cairo and the pyramids, private guides and full 15-day tours of the country.
