All Months
October through April gives you the best weather in Alexandria. Temperatures hover around 20-25°C, perfect for walking around the ancient sites and sitting at outdoor cafes. The Mediterranean breeze keeps things comfortable.
Winter months from December to February can be rainy and windy. Pack a jacket – it gets surprisingly cool by the sea. But hotel prices drop by 30-40% and you'll have major attractions like the Bibliotheca Alexandrina mostly to yourself.
Avoid summer if you can. July and August hit 35°C with crushing humidity. The beaches get packed with Egyptian families escaping Cairo's heat, and finding accommodation becomes difficult. If you must visit in summer, book early and budget for higher prices.
Ramadan affects restaurant hours and alcohol availability, so check the dates before planning your trip.
