Egypt has something for every type of family holiday, whether you’re looking for relaxing beaches, exciting excursions or a taste of ancient history.
The Red Sea in Egypt is a year-round destination, with each season offering something different depending on the type of holiday you want.
Spring is one of the best times to visit the Red Sea resorts such as Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh. Temperatures are warm but comfortable, usually ranging from the mid-20s to low-30s°C, making it ideal for beach days, boat trips, snorkeling, and sightseeing without the intense summer heat.
Early summer is perfect for travellers looking for guaranteed sunshine and long beach days before the peak summer temperatures arrive. The weather is hot and dry, the sea is beautifully warm, and conditions are ideal for scuba diving, water sports, and luxury resort stays.
Peak summer offers high temperatures for families seeking some classic sea & sunshine. Resort hotels are built for the heat, with large pools, air-conditioned facilities, private beaches, and easy access to the sea. The warm evenings and lively atmosphere also make summer great for family entertainment and relaxing by the coast.
Autumn combines the best of summer warmth with slightly cooler temperatures. The sea remains exceptionally warm after the summer months, making this one of the top seasons for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
Winter in the Red Sea is mild and sunny, with daytime temperatures often sitting in the low to mid-20s°C. Winter is ideal for relaxing holidays, desert excursions, sightseeing, and enjoying the beaches without large crowds.
