Sharm-el-Sheikh weather reviews

Ivan, January 2024
If you want to go to the sea for the New Year, I can recommend Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt. Here in January the weather is excellent, warm during the day, you can sunbathe and swim. The nights are colder; for evening walks you need to dress warmer. But this does not affect the sea temperature; you can safely swim during the day. There is no rain, it is sunny all the time. There are not very many tourists at this time, but not a few either. A great place to relax by the sea in winter.
Oleg, January 2024
- We vacationed in Sharm El-Sheikh at the beginning of January. - We chose this time for vacation because January offers more reasonable prices and avoids the peak tourist season. - The weather was quite stable, with warm and sunny days and cool nights. It was cool in the morning and evening, but warm enough during the day for swimming and sunbathing. - I liked that the weather was not too hot, which allowed me to enjoy outdoor activities, but sometimes the wind could be too strong on the beach. - This weather is ideal for beach holidays and water sports, as well as for excursions and exploring the underwater world. - If I were to visit this resort again, I would probably choose February to avoid some of the strong winds and enjoy the warmer weather.
