When is the best time to visit Sharm El Sheikh in late autumn for warm weather and lower prices?

October and early November are considered the velvet season in Sharm El Sheikh, but hotels can be full during this period and available sun loungers may be hard to find.

Late-October weather can vary significantly by year: one season was windy, while another had a warm October followed by a calm, hot November. Warm, wind-free conditions cannot be guaranteed for this period.

For a mid-December trip, consider an area other than Nabq: good weather is possible there, but calm, wind-free conditions are not guaranteed.

If travelling from 26 November, be prepared for cooler conditions, as temperatures and wind can noticeably affect beach-holiday comfort.

October can be a comfortable time to visit; based on April and October stays, no issues with rats, beetles, or other pests were reported.

Package prices may drop after school holidays, from the first days of November. By late October the clocks change and the weather is already less hot than in September.

Late October to early November is considered one of the more budget-friendly periods for a Sharm El Sheikh trip.

Early October can still feel like summer and have low prices, but mornings may turn cool after around 10 October.
