Hurghada
Cheap winter sun plus Red Sea. El Gouna is the adult version, Hurghada downtown is where vendor hassle lives.
Forecast keeps changing its mind. Pack a layer either way.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Same Red Sea pattern as Sharm. October–May is the reliable window. Persistent northerly winds funnel down the Gulf of Suez — Hurghada boat trips are frequently rough, Sharm is more sheltered by the Sinai Peninsula. Khamsin dust storms occur mostly in March–May.
