Sharm-el-Sheikh weather reviews

Irina, May 2023
In May 2023, my husband and I vacationed in Egypt in the city of Sharm El-Sheikh. My husband ordered tours through an agency. Excellent hotel Naama Bay Promenade Beach Resort Managed By Accor. Nice, cozy rooms. The weather there in May is simply superb. During the day the air temperature is approximately +35 +40 degrees. At night, a little colder, the temperature dropped to +25 +23 degrees. During all 10 days of our vacation it was sunny and there was no rain. We went to the beach every day, swam and sunbathed. In order to avoid getting sunburned, you must have cream with you. Since the nights were warm, we walked around the city until late in the evening and didn’t even think about outerwear. We also managed to go on several excursions. We visited Cairo - Ancient pyramids, the Sphinx and many... Read more

Last year in May I was in Egypt in the city of Sharm el-Sheikh. I booked the trip through a travel agency; there were no problems with the flight or hotel. The weather was great, the whole vacation was sunny, there was no rain. It was a little hot, but just right for the beach. The water in the sea is warm at this time, you can swim as much as you like. The nights here at this time are also very warm, you can walk until late and not think about outerwear.

It's already a bit hot here in May, IMHO. And this year the weather is predicted to be even hotter. Our temperature rose to forty degrees a couple of times (in the sun, I think it was more). On average, +35 is standard. In general, I could only walk at night, when there was no sun and the air was +23-25. I don’t quite understand those who travel to this desert in the middle of summer, sit in their rooms, or what, at +45 in the shade? The water is great, of course. Very warm, but at least a little cooling. I just couldn’t get out of it. Next time I’ll fly in early spring or late autumn.
