Is the sea warm enough for swimming and sunbathing in Egypt in late November?

TL;DR

Late November can bring daytime temperatures of around 25–27°C, suitable for sunbathing, but strong wind may close pontoon access for several days. Choose a hotel with a pool and expect sea conditions to vary day by day.

What the community said

Based on visits in July, August and January during 2024–2026, swimming restrictions varied from trip to trip. Check the actual weather and beach warning flags rather than relying on the season alone.

Even in August, one exceptionally windy day can make reef access impossible because of heavy waves. Conditions may calm quickly over the following days, so do not judge the whole trip by the first day.

During a one-week stay in late November, daytime temperatures were about 25–27°C and comfortable for sunbathing. The sea was accessible for roughly four days, while strong wind closed pontoon swimming on the other days, making the pool a useful backup.
