Best time to visit Sharm El Sheikh for warm sea and comfortable weather: November, December, January, or February?
Based on 3 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 8 days ago
TL;DR
November and December are commonly recommended for warm sea and comfortable weather in Sharm El Sheikh, with around 25°C in the shade and up to 30°C in the sun. Late January is also a good budget option, but in winter it's better to stay in sheltered bays and avoid Nabq because of strong winds.
What the community said
For February trips, travelers often compare conditions with December: if December was around 28°C, the sea usually has not cooled down too much yet. Still, comfort depends on how warm you need the water to be — some people swim for 40–45 minutes, while others buy thermal swimwear locally.

November is often seen as one of the best months, with about 25°C in the shade, up to 30°C in the sun, and sea water that is still warm from summer. Late January is also popular because package tour prices usually drop sharply after New Year; in winter, sheltered bays are recommended, while Nabq is often avoided because of wind in winter and spring.
