Velvet season in Egypt: which resort to choose in 2024

Not everyone likes to rest under the scorching sun. The ideal period for such tourists comes in the fall. Where to go, so as not to miss with the weather - we tell you below.

Sharm el-Sheikh

The city is located in the south of the Sinai Peninsula, on the northern coast of the Red Sea. The average temperature from September to October ranges from 27 to 30°C.

The Sharm El Maya area is the only place in the resort where beaches with fine golden sand prevail. The territory is divided into 26 plots, each of which belongs to a particular hotel. And there are also towers from which lifeguards watch for a possible influx of sharks. But, for example, Sharks Bay is characterized by incredibly beautiful corals and clear water. Here it is better to take rubber shoes.

If you are traveling with children, we recommend going to Nabq Bay, which is famous for its gentle entrance to the sea. By the way, the coast is a real paradise for connoisseurs of diving. Thousands of species of fish, underwater rocks of incredible colors, sea turtles and even dolphins - all this can be seen during diving.

Be sure to climb Mount Sinai, which is considered a holy place for many religions. It was here, according to legend, that God handed the sacred tables with the Ten Commandments to the prophet Moses. Also visit the Tutankhamun National Museum. There are more than 150 exhibits. You can touch them.

Dahab

The small town is located in South Sinai on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba. The average temperature from September to November ranges from 26 to 30°C.

Once anything from gold jewelry to the rarest stones was sold here. Today, fans of diving, windsurfing and kiting come here most often. Laguna Dahab is perfect for family vacations, because the beach is equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas. And also shallow water prevails here.

One of the most famous places for tourists is considered the Blue Hole - a large karst hole. Here even beginners can go snorkeling. We also advise you to visit the world's oldest monastery of St. Catherine. Travelers come here to ask the patroness of marriage and family values for true and sincere love.

Hurghada

The tourist center is located on the western coast of the Red Sea. Even in winter, the air temperature does not fall below +20 ° C. All local beaches have a comfortable descent into the water without coral.

At Dream Beach tourists can ride water slides or play beach volleyball. In the evening there are open-air parties. At Paradise Beach there is a rental of equipment for active entertainment. There are also lounge chairs, umbrellas, showers and restrooms.

Be sure to visit the Grand Aquarium, the third largest in the world. Here you can meet the inhabitants of the rivers of Africa. In total, there are about 1200 mollusks and fish living here. It is also worth a trip to the El Mina Mosque. Pay special attention to its facades. They were decorated with traditional oriental ornaments and carvings in the Arabian style. Of course, take a walk along the main promenade, where various vessels are moored - from ancient to modern.

Safaga

This quiet town is located 53 kilometers from Hurghada. The average air temperature in the velvet season ranges from +26 to +33°C. It is not only a popular resort, but also a significant transportation hub and trade center of Egypt. And also here are ideal conditions for water sports such as diving, snorkeling and windsurfing.

We advise you to visit Panorama Reef. The underwater world here is very diverse. During the dive, you can see turtles, dolphins and different species of fish. By the way, the location is famous for healing properties. The unique black sand, combined with local salt water, contributes to the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and skin ailments.

We also recommend a trip to the ghost town of Umm Huwaytat. Once life was booming here and phosphate deposits were actively mined. However, due to the development of tourist business in Safaga, the settlement gradually emptied. Today you can come here on off-road vehicles and quad bikes.

Let the thoughts of the desired vacation become a reality! It's time to plan a trip!
