Luxor and Aswan Climate: Weather Guide (Temperatures & Best Time to Visit)

Upper Egypt is one of the driest and sunniest places on Earth. The climate of Luxor and Aswan is defined by two extremes: a mild, perfect winter and a scorching, furnace-like summer. While winter (October to April) offers delightful days with highs around 25°C (77°F), summer (June to August) regularly sees temperatures soar past 45°C (113°F). Furthermore, rain is virtually non-existent, falling perhaps once every few years. Consequently, the "best time to visit" is strictly determined by your tolerance for heat.

Very Considerate and Helpful

Guide and driver were on time, open to my requests and took care that I felt safe and saw the Pyramids and parts of old cairo during my less than 24 hour stay between flights. Office staff were great in communicating by email before and during the trip.
