The best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh depends on whether you prioritize comfortable weather or the best possible diving and snorkeling conditions.
- March to May: Widely considered the ideal season. Air temperatures range from 25–33 °C, while the Red Sea is around 22-26 °C. Warm but not excessively hot, making it perfect for the beach, sightseeing, diving, and snorkeling.
- September to November: Another excellent choice. Air temperatures are typically 228-35 °C, and the sea is especially inviting at 27-29 °C. Underwater visibility is often outstanding.
- December to February: Mild and sunny, with daytime temperatures of 20-26 °C. The sea cools to around 22-24 °C. A great escape from winter, though divers may prefer a sightly thicker wetsuit.
- June to August: Very hot, with daytime temperatures of 25-40 °C or higher. However, the Red Sea reaches a comfortable 28-30 °C, and marine life is at its most vibrant. Many divers and snorkelers love the summer months because coral reefs are teeming with fish and underwater activity is at its peak. If you can handle the heat, this is one of the most rewarding times to explore the Red Sea.
Bottom line:
For the best balance of pleasant weather and warm water, April-May and October-November are the top choices. If your main goal is experiencing the Red Sea at its liveliest and you don´t mind the heat, summer offers an exceptional underwater experience.
