When to visit Egypt?

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.

What are the best places to visit in Egypt as a single parent?

What are the best places to visit in Egypt as a single parent with young kids?

For younger children, look for a resort that makes family life as easy as possible - with good facilities, kids’ pools, children’s menus, shallow or gently sloping beaches and plenty of activities on site.

  • Hurghada is a great option for younger children, with family-friendly resorts, gently sloping beaches and plenty of facilities close by.
  • Look for resorts with kids’ clubs, splash pools, family rooms and all-inclusive options, which can make things much easier when travelling as a single parent.
  • Staying somewhere with restaurants, shops and entertainment within the resort or nearby means you don't have to worry about taxis or shuttles into town
  • For very young children, prioritise easy beach access, shaded pool areas and short transfers from the airport over having lots of excursions.

What are the best places to visit in Egypt as a single parent with older kids?

With older children and teenagers, you can choose a destination with more opportunities for adventure and exploring.

  • Sharm El Sheikh is a good choice for older kids, particularly if they enjoy snorkelling, diving, watersports and boat trips.
  • Look for a beachfront resort with a kids’ or teens’ club, organised activities and easy access to excursions.
  • Older children may enjoy excursions such as desert safaris, quad biking, boat trips, snorkelling and visiting local markets.
  • Hurghada is also a good option for older children, particularly if you want a mixture of beach time and excursions.
  • If your children are interested in ancient Egypt and history, consider adding Luxor or Cairo to the trip rather than staying solely at a beach resort.

Which area of Egypt is easiest for a single parent?

For a straightforward family holiday, Red Sea resorts such as Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are often the easiest choices. All-inclusive accommodation, resort facilities and organised activities mean there is less planning required once you arrive.
