Destinations

The best time to visit Egypt, including Hurghada, Marsa Alam, and Sharm El Sheikh, is during the winter months (November to March). During this time, temperatures are milder, making outdoor activities more enjoyable. Summer (June to August) can be extremely hot, especially in the desert regions, although it’s still a popular time for beachgoers.

Transportation options in Egypt’s coastal cities typically include taxis, ride-hailing services like Uber and Careem, and private car rentals. Many hotels and resorts also offer shuttle services to popular attractions. Additionally, public buses and minibusses are available for budget-conscious travelers, although they may not always be the most convenient option.

For a trip to Egypt’s coastal cities, it’s recommended to pack lightweight and breathable clothing, as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. If you plan on participating in water activities like snorkeling or diving, don’t forget your swimsuit and reef-safe sunscreen. Additionally, consider bringing insect repellent, especially if you’ll be spending time outdoors or in more rural areas.

Egypt’s coastal cities offer a vibrant nightlife scene with numerous bars, nightclubs, and beach parties. Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, in particular, are known for their lively nightlife, with many venues staying open until the early hours of the morning. Marsa Alam tends to have a more laid-back atmosphere, but there are still plenty of options for evening entertainment.
