Egypt Weather in February

What’s the weather like in Egypt in February?

Lying across the Red Sea from the Middle East, Egypt is situated in North Africa. The Sahara Desert brings the country warm weather all year round. You'll have cooler temperatures in February than in the summer, so it’s a perfect time to visit if you'd rather avoid the scorching heat. There’s hardly any rain in most of Egypt through the year, which includes the popular Red Sea Riviera. The Atlas Mountains shelter the Sinai Peninsula, where you'll find Sharm El Sheikh. Hurghada is across the Red Sea to the west.
