Winter Egypt: Warmer Than You Think

There's a common misconception about traveling to Egypt in winter. Many believe "you can't swim in the sea, everything is closed, and tourists are freezing." However, the actual situation observed on-site tells a different story.

In January, Sharm El Sheikh registers air temperatures of 25°C and water temperatures of 23°C. For tourists escaping the minus 40-degree cold wave from Russia's Siberian regions, this weather feels like summer. When hotel staff wearing sweaters asked, "How can you swim in this weather?" visitors replied, "This is similar to August weather in Siberia."

That said, when clouds cover the sun and winds pick up, you can sense it's not quite full summer weather.
