The Weather in Egypt in July: What to Really Expect

Let’s be direct: July is the peak of summer in Egypt and it is very hot. However, the climate is a dry heat, which is much more manageable than the humid heat many are used to.

  • Cairo & Alexandria: The average temperature is around 34°C (93°F). Alexandria will feel slightly cooler due to the sea breeze, but with more humidity.
  • Luxor & Aswan (Upper Egypt): This is the hottest part of the country, with temperatures often climbing to 41°C (106°F) or higher in the afternoon.
  • The Red Sea (Hurghada): While still hot, constant breezes from the sea make it feel more comfortable. This is the perfect weather for diving, snorkeling, and relaxing by the water.
