Winter and summer — for an economical budget
It's no secret that the — one of the key factors in the issue of price when it comes to holidays at sea. When choosing which month is the cheapest to relax in Egypt, concentrate your search on two periods:
- from the 2nd half of November to the beginning of March;
- late June to early September.
Egypt is famous for being a year-round beach destination. And the winter/summer price reduction has nothing to do with the inability to sunbathe and swim. Why is the cost of Egyptian holidays less in winter and summer? The experts of “Come with us” shared the features of low-cost seasons in Egypt.

A characteristic feature of this period — strong winds, which can make staying on the beach uncomfortable. “Hide” you can get away from them by choosing a hotel in a calm bay. A heated swimming pool on site will allow you not to worry about storms and vagaries of the weather.
Summer — the most budgetary time for a holiday in Egypt due to high temperatures, which can reach +45 ° C. Yes, yes, surprisingly, it can be too hot for a seaside holiday. But with the water temperature in the sea + 28 ° C, you can swim, dive and snorkel to your heart's content, without the risk of freezing and getting cold. An additional argument in favor of summer holidays — excellent conditions for scuba diving in July-August.
Air conditioners in hotel rooms, shady lounge areas, awnings and umbrellas by the pools and beaches help to cope with the heat. The correct daily routine is of great importance: it is better to go to the beach before 11-00 and after 15-00. It is important not to forget about sunscreen and drinking regime.

So, the minimum price for a week of rest in a 3-star hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh for two adult tourists at the end of November 2022 is just over 850 USD.
