Climate
Egypt is mostly hot and dry throughout the year. Milder weather is experienced by places such as Alexandria and the Mediterranean coast whereas the heat in Cairo and other inland areas is unbearable with temperatures rising to as high as 50ºC in some parts of the country. Temperature in the desert is dramatic and can fluctuate up to a difference of 37ºC in a day.

During winter, temperatures can fall to freezing and heavy winter, rain can be expected along the Mediterranean coast. Spring in Egypt is often surrounded by ‘khamsin‘, a predictable hot and bitter wind which brings blinding sand and dust storms. In the desert, the wind can lift sand up to 2 meters from the ground, creating a shifting, billowing layer above the land.
