What to pack for Egypt in the winter

For a winter trip to Egypt, it's important to pack for the mild yet potentially chilly weather.

Layering is key, as the temperature can vary throughout the day. Bring lightweight, long-sleeved tops and blouses that can be easily layered with a cardigan or jacket. Additionally, pack a mix of trousers, jeans, and long skirts that cover the knees, as well as a warm coat or jacket for cooler evenings.

Don't forget to include comfortable walking shoes for exploring ancient ruins and bustling markets, as well as a pair of sandals for warmer days. In terms of accessories, bring a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect against the sun, as well as a scarf for visiting religious sites. Lastly, consider bringing a swimsuit if you plan on visiting resort areas along the Red Sea.

With these essentials in your suitcase, you'll be well-equipped for a winter adventure in Egypt.

In Egypt, winter brings cooler temperatures and mild conditions, with daytime temperatures generally ranging between 15-20°C (59-68°F) and cooler evenings.

The skies are often clear and sunny, making it a popular time for visitors to explore the historic sites and enjoy outdoor activities. However, the desert areas may experience much colder nights and occasionally even frost.

Rain is rare in Egypt during the winter months, with the majority of the country experiencing clear and dry weather.
