Fall
Fall and Winter
Summer
March–May: temperatures generally warm (20–30°C / 68–86°F) with sunnier days. Late spring (March–April) can bring khamsin winds—dry, sandy gusts that reduce visibility and create dust storms.
An annual film festival typically held in November that draws filmmakers and audiences from across the Arab world and internationally.
One of the largest book fairs in the Arab world, usually occurring in late January to early February, attracting publishers, authors, and visitors from across the region.
The Islamic holy month observed across Egypt; dates shift about 10–11 days earlier each Gregorian year. During daylight hours many restaurants are closed to the public, but evenings are lively with special iftar meals, night markets, and cultural activities.
Major religious holidays that follow Ramadan and the Hajj respectively; families travel and celebrate, and many businesses have altered hours. Dates vary each year.
Events often held in December or other cooler months attracting local and international runners; routes showcase Nile-side roads and some historic areas.
Pack sun protection (broad-brim hat, sunscreen), light breathable clothing for daytime, and a light jacket for cooler evenings (especially in Winter). Carry a reusable water bottle and a portable hand fan for Summer. If you travel during khamsin season bring eye protection and a scarf to cover face in dust storms.
Cairo's hotel and travel prices fluctuate primarily with the tourist season (cooler months attract more visitors) and religious/public holidays. The busiest period is during the cooler months when visitors from Europe and elsewhere seek comfortable sightseeing weather—hotels, guided tours, and airfares rise then. Summer (roughly June–August) is the value season: extreme heat reduces demand so hotels lower rates and deals are common. Major events (Cairo International Book Fair, Cairo International Film Festival) and holidays such as Ramadan and the Eids can push local prices up for short periods, and public holidays will affect availability and rates.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Cairo has a range of transport options: metro for fast city travel, taxis and ride‑hailing apps for door-to-door trips, and private drivers or guided tours for day trips. Traffic can be heavy—allow extra time.
For the best photo light and smaller crowds at the Pyramids, book a guided early-morning entry (sunrise). Hire a licensed Egyptologist guide for major archaeological sites—they save time, deepen your experience, and can smooth logistical details like admission and photography rules.
