The windy season in Egypt lasts from April to November, although you can catch windy days all year round. The best season is between June and October, with September statistically being the windiest month.

The constant wind and the sea keeps the temperature on the islands at pleasant 25-30°C during the day, and a few degrees less during the night. The water temperature reach over 25°C and the wetsuit is not needed, while for the spring and autumn we recommend to bring a shorty.

Yes. All visitors to Egypt need to obtain a visa to enter the country unless they are from a visa-exempt country. It is very easy to obtain a single-entry visa upon arrival for around USD $25.
