Climate Overview

When is the best travel time for Sharm el Sheikh?

Due to its constant climate Sharm el Sheikh can be visited all year round. The water is warm enough for bathing in all seasons. If you want to get a bargain, you should travel to Sharm el Sheikh in spring between March and May. In the low season, the town has fewer holidaymakers than in the summer months of June to August.

The best travel time for divers is between September and November, when water temperatures are high enough to dive without a wetsuit. In addition, the best visibility conditions under water prevail at this time. In the hinterland the temperatures are felt to be warmer than on the coast. Visitors wishing to tour the desert or Mount Sinai should consider the cooler months of January and February.

All in all we can recommend April to October as the best travel season for Sharm el Sheikh and exclude the two high season months July and August in the sense that the heat in high summer can be enormous and that you therefore have to pay attention to sufficient rest and hydration. But logical – after all, it’s a holiday!

Sights & Attractions

Sharm el Sheikh is especially known for its diving areas. In Ras Mohamed National Park alone there are six underwater areas with their very own charm. The plankton-rich water attracts over 1000 species of fish, including sharks, moray eels and barracudas. Those who do not want to go into the water can marvel at the fascinating coral gardens during a trip with the glass bottom boat or the submarine. A popular destination for a boat trip is the island of Tiran. Visitors cannot go ashore because Tiran is a military spear territory. However, the coral reefs off the coast are perfect for diving and snorkeling. In addition to colourful schools of fish, there are also larger marine animals such as eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, sharks and sea turtles.

Also on land Sharm el Sheikh has natural beauties to offer. The desert may seem hostile to life, but Bedouins have lived here for centuries. Visitors experience their hospitality on a desert safari. After dinner by candlelight in a traditional Bedouin tent, we go on to observe the stars. The Milky Way shines far away from disturbing lights in a splendour of which one can only dream in the city. However, the most popular excursion destination in the vicinity of Sharm el Sheikh is the Katharinenkloster monastery, where monks have lived since the 6th century. The collection of old folios and relics is second to none. If you want to see a particularly beautiful sight, you can start in the early morning hours and watch the sunrise on the summit of Mount Sinai.
