Beach holidays at the end of winter can hardly be called popular. This period in the country of the pharaohs does not belong to the high tourist season. You can go to Egypt in February if you want to bask in the sun, and not in the solarium, swim in the salty sea and enjoy the warmth, while in your native country it is still cold and frosty. Ideal for this are resorts and bays, which are reliably protected from the winds by mountain ranges. The category of such regions includes Dahab, Nuweiba, Sharm el-Sheikh, Taba. It is not worth taking tickets for February to El Gouna or Hurghada, as it will be more windy here. But these resorts will become very comfortable if you plan not to lie on the beach, but to go on excursions, go diving, sail on a yacht or go on a desert safari.
Egypt in February: weather conditions
When deciding to go on vacation in Egypt in February, you need to remember that the climatic conditions here are very contradictory. It is very difficult to predict the weather. But we can say with confidence that it will be possible to avoid the scorching sun and extreme heat. By the standards of this country, February is one of the coldest periods for the whole year. But tourists will find such climatic conditions (especially in contrast to the weather at home) very pleasant. The daytime temperature is usually +20 degrees. On some days, the thermometer can rise to + 25-27 degrees. At night, it drops to +15-16 degrees, which is also comfortable. The water in the Red Sea in February warms up to + 22-23 degrees.
If you decide to buy tours to Egypt for February, then it is recommended to choose the warmest resorts and their calm bays. These include:
-Taba;
-Dahab;
-Sharm El Sheikh;
-Marsa Alam.
The warmest nights this season are in Marsa Alam. Here, after sunset, the thermometer usually shows +18 degrees.
It is equally important to take into account that in the winter in the country of the pharaohs there are very strong winds. Their dominance is especially noticeable on the westen coast of the Red Sea. However, this does not scare surfers, who are becoming more and more here every year. When choosing a tour to Egypt in February, it is recommended to give preference to resorts that are closed from strong winds.
It is also worth considering that the strongest winds are in Hurghada (by the way, not only in winter). Fairly warm wind in Sharm el-Sheikh. Its force here is only 3.1 m/s. Slightly stronger wind in Marsa Alam, where their gusts reach 4-6 m/s.
The water temperature in February is approximately the same in all regions, as is the length of daylight hours. Light in Egypt is about 10-11 hours a day. But after 4 p.m. dusk descends.
Advantages of trips to Egypt in February
Among domestic tourists, Egyptian resorts are in high demand all year round. The reasons lie in the combination:
- pleasant climate;
- exotic fruits;
- benefits of sea air;
- high service.
In Egypt, even in February, you can enjoy a beach holiday. No less attractive is the fact that the infrastructure is well developed on the Red Sea coast. Therefore, tourists can choose a hotel complex based on their requests and financial capabilities. The levels of star rating of hotels here are very diverse. But if at the end of winter you want to swim enough, then you should give preference to hotels with heated pools.
Going to the country of the pharaohs for a holiday at the end of winter, it is recommended to book proven hotels. The optimal solution is hotels that have been renovated. They have fresher and more comfortable rooms.
Holidays in Egypt with a child
You can go to Egypt in February not only with your spouse or girlfriend. It will be quite comfortable to rest with a child. An exciting excursion program is organized for couples.

No less interesting will be a visit to the Red Sea aquarium and ATV riding in the desert.
The price for holidays in Egypt at the end of winter
Prices for tours to Egypt in February are significantly lower than in other periods, as this is "off season". A ticket for two for 7 days at this time will cost an average of 500-600 dollars. Family tours will cost a little more.
In February, last-minute tours often appear. If you choose this solution, you will be able to pay half as much for a tour that costs $ 700 for a couple. You can also save money by booking early. The benefit of this method is up to 30% of the total cost of the tour. But before February 14, the cost of holidays always rises, as demand grows.
