What the community said
Antalya and especially Kemer have high humidity, making the heat harder to bear. Egypt's climate is dry, and choosing a windier part of Sharm el-Sheikh makes the heat even more comfortable.

Kemer in Turkey has particularly high humidity, though the area near Duden Waterfall is slightly more pleasant. For those sensitive to humidity, Sharm el-Sheikh is a better choice than Turkish resorts.
