Egypt is a modest country, so it&#8217;s important to respect the cultural norms and traditions of the locals. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dressing appropriately\u2014not just for the weather, but for the environment and culture\u2014can make your trip smoother, safer, and more immersive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Summer Wear (June-September)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Summer&#8217;s in Egypt are hot and dry. You can expect temperatures to reach up to 40 \u00b0C \u00a0(104\u00b0 F) in Cairo, with even higher temperatures in Upper Egypt. \u00a0Temperatures along the coast are slightly milder, however it&#8217;s still going to be very warm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We recommend packing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loose clothes, with comfortable fabrics<\/li>\n<li>Short Sleeved t-shirts<\/li>\n<li>Longer pants or skirts, if you&#8217;re staying in the city<\/li>\n<li>Open Toed Shoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tank tops and shorter clothes can also be worn if you&#8217;re staying at a beach resort or at a beach town, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazef.com\/tours\/marsa-alam-87685\">Marsa Alam<\/a>, \u00a0however we recommend taking precautions in bigger cities, as Egypt is a modest country.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1529\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/www.gazef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/female-abu-simbel-temple-southern-egypt-lake-nasser-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Luxor Wear\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u00a02. \u00a0Fall\u00a0 (September- December)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fall in Egypt is thought to be Egypt&#8217;s perfect season; the weather&#8217;s not too hot or cold, and the crowds have lessened out. Fall in Egypt promises sunny mornings, and cool nights, with the occasional extra hot day or extra cool night. That said, it&#8217;s important to check the weather during your trip, and pack accordingly. Here&#8217;s a list of all the spots we recommend visiting in the fall time in Egypt!<\/p>\n<p><strong>We recommend packing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Short sleeved t-shirts and long sleeved shirts<\/li>\n<li>Long, loose pants and skirts<\/li>\n<li>Light hoodie or zip up sweater<\/li>\n<li>Sneakers, boots, and open toed shoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u00a03. Winter Wear (December- February)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Temperatures in winter in Egypt can get relatively cold and windy \u00a0in the city, and very cold out in the desert. In Cairo, most winter days see a high temperature of 19\u00b0C (66\u00b0F). Upper Egypt is usually slightly warmer, with temperatures of around 21\u00b0C (69\u00b0F), and desert temperatures can go as low as below 10\u00b0C at night (50\u00b0F). Therefore, it&#8217;s important to pack warm clothes, particularly if you&#8217;re going camping in the desert.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>We recommend packing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Long sleeved tshirts<\/li>\n<li>Long, loose pants<\/li>\n<li>Zip up hoodies and sweatshirts<\/li>\n<li>Midweight jacket<\/li>\n<li>Thermal fleece layers if you&#8217;re going to be camping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>\u00a04.
