Egypt

[Jack]

Putting aside the general chaos in Cairo at the moment, I'm looking for a bit of holiday-weather advice.

Considering visiting Sharm El Sheikh this year; prices are cheapest around late-august time, but I'm putting that down to it being middle of the hot season! Other option is mid October when its cooled off a little bit.

Has anyone been to that region around that time (August or October)? How hot/humid is it? I don't want to go on holiday and end up melting :(

Well i must agree with you on that one. Me and Jack can be sat on the same sofa and he will be boiling hot and ill be freezing cold. weird.

After last year's shark attacks, and the current events I'd bet on prices taking a nice tumble so I imagine some nice deals to be had lol

Late 30's, early 40's in October - about as hot as you want?

Can get as high as late 40's maybe 50's in the height of summer.

Hot is fine, I was walking around in kaf with long sleeves and trousers on in ~45'c sun, but that was a dry heat. Its the humidity I don't like :(

a sadly departed friend was there last year, 52 degrees before a sand storm, he wasnt impressed by the resort either and ive heard a few similar stories aswell,

[Jack]

Do you know what resort they stayed at?

Sharm el Sheikh seems to be made up of nothing but holiday resorts! There's quite a range in terms of quality!

not entirerly sure Jack, the guy passed away not long after returning, not related to the holiday, heart attack, it was late summer he was there, then heard 2 more bad reports in mid august, id do a little more research :thumb:

sorry i can be more help.

Ive been to Africa on what was they're hottest day of the year 48c. Didn't even break a sweat. Like you said Jack. It's not the temperature, it's the humidity.

my sis lives in cyprus. they always come to england in august to get away from the heat.... i went to crete in the last week of october & it was still plenty hot enough.

[Jack]

I know Cyprus is humid though, each time I've stepped off the aircraft there the humidity has been like a punch in the face lol

[Jeff16v]

I went to cyprus last year and it had a heatwave of upto 50. Egypt is a whole different thing, its around 45 at nightlol
