Hurghada in July
Not the best time
July is brutal. Unless you're from Phoenix or really hate crowds, skip this month. The heat is punishing and even locals avoid unnecessary outdoor time during the day.
Weather
July brings some of the year's most intense heat with temperatures that can feel overwhelming for many visitors. The saving grace is extremely low humidity and occasional cooling breezes off the Red Sea. Rain remains non-existent.

All Months
October through April delivers perfect weather—warm days, cool evenings, and calm seas for diving. December and January see the most crowds but also the most reliable conditions. Summer months turn brutal, with temperatures hitting 40°C and humidity making everything sticky. But here's the thing—summer also brings the cheapest hotel rates and fewer tourists at dive sites. The Red Sea stays warm year-round (22-28°C), so diving never stops. March and April offer the sweet spot: great weather, fewer crowds than winter, and spring wildflowers in the desert. Avoid Egyptian holidays when domestic tourism spikes. Wind picks up in spring, perfect for kite surfing but rough for boat trips.
