Hurghada weather reviews

Elena, May 2023
In May, Hurghada already fully corresponds to the summer period, the air is hot and dry. According to temperature readings at the beginning of the month it is +28-33°C, and by the end it is already +32-35°C. The sea water is excellent +25°C, stable, you can swim with kids without restrictions, the main thing is not to forget a hat and use protective cream, the sun is very strong, you can get burned quickly. We like to go on vacation with our family in Egypt in May, and the prices are normal and there are not very many tourists.
Nika, May 2023
From Hurghada we went on excursions to Cairo, the pyramids in Giza, and the Egyptian Museum. The story is very interesting, the guide is Russian speaking, we had a great time. The weather was sunny every day +29-33°C, a Panama hat and sunglasses were mandatory accessories. The beach is of high quality, fine sand, the entry into the sea is smooth without stones, the water in May warms up enough for swimming +22°C in the first half of the month, and +25°C starting from the second.
