CLIMATE & CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS

In December and January, the daily weather remains reliably dry and sunny and rather warm. Daytime temperatures rise to an maximum of 73°F, and fall to a minimum of 50°F overnight, and are combined with generally low humidity. In the desert it’s even more extreme – often scorching during the day and bitterly cold at night.

Whatever the activity, you should remember that Egypt remains a conservative country and we wish to be respectful. Shoulders should always be covered outside the hotels and boat (there are beautiful shawls available in Egypt). Keeping this in mind, comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for layers in the daytime. A light jacket, sweater or wrap for early morning and evening and also for the air conditioning in the hotels are advised.

Wear comfortable walking shoes—sneakers or sandals with a supporting back strap and cotton socks. In the evenings, as everyone will be dining in very pleasant surroundings at our hotels or local restaurants, somewhat nicer attire would be appropriate.
