Unlike many other travel companies we operate on a trust account model. Once we’ve paid the airline for your flights, the rest of your money is held in a trust account. We do not have access to this directly and can only withdraw funds when you are back home from holiday
All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme from the moment you book. So if one of our suppliers fails, you’ll get your money back. If you’re left stranded abroad, a flight home will be arranged at no extra cost. Our ATOL number is 11806
As proud ABTA members we deliver the highest standards when it comes to our holidays. So if you book with us you’re guaranteed the best service. Our ABTA number is P8283, Y6720.
What's the weather like in Sharm El Sheikh in October?
The location of Sharm El Sheikh on Egypt’s Red Sea coast at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula means it has a hot desert climate with hardly any rain all year round. You might find October’s the ideal time to visit Sharm El Sheikh as temperatures start to cool after the scorching summer.
Climatic influences
Sharm El Sheikh has two seasons, with summer lasting from March to October, and winter from November to February. The only difference between each month of the year though is the temperature, so deciding when to go’s a case of choosing how much heat suits you best. The Red Sea takes the edge off the extreme temperatures, although you'll get these inland in the desert. North Africa’s Atlas Mountains attract rain and are the main reason behind Sharm El Sheikh getting almost none.
Averages
The average high in Sharm El Sheikh’s 31ºC in October, with evenings also staying nice and warm. At 20ºC, you won’t need to bring many warm clothes. The sea temperature’s a lovely 27ºC, so it’s perfect for swimming, while humidity’s moderate. There’s just 2mm of rain, leaving you to look forward to ten long hours of sunshine from 11 hours of daylight each day. UV levels will be very high so wear sun cream. Sunset’s at 5.30pm at the start of the month and gradually gets earlier.
