Do I need warm clothes in Egypt — wind, air and water temperature tips?

In January, expect roughly 25 °C during the day, around 17 °C in the evening, and sea temperature near 23 °C. A windbreaker or sweatshirt is useful after sunset even if daytime feels comfortable.

After swimming, especially in the morning, you may want to wrap up right away: the wind can be strong even if it is not actually cold. A robe is not essential for a child, but it can be more convenient than just a towel for early beach time.

Wind conditions can change unpredictably خلال the day: it may be breezy in the morning and calmer after lunch, or the opposite. It is worth having a light extra layer for shifting conditions.

Long sleeves in the evening are not strictly necessary but can be handy depending on wind conditions.

Some beach areas have windbreakers set up in winter — check with your hotel on arrival.

Bring warm layers for the summit of Mount Sinai — it gets cold before sunrise even in summer. A hat is essential. It warms up significantly on the descent. Carry your own drinks (a thermos works well) as café prices increase sharply with altitude.

In the second half of November, wind and warmth are the main concerns. A light jacket is a safe bet.

The breeze is warm, but à la carte restaurants blast the AC — a light cardigan is useful indoors. Outside it's hot. There may be no iron in the room, so a compact travel steamer is a handy alternative.

The sea and pools may feel cool compared to the air temperature, but in July the water is usually nearly as warm as the air.
