Hi everyone,
I have booked to go to Sharm on the 4th December and have been reading weather reports that the uv index around that time is only about 4!! I thought it would have been higher considering it is a year round destination! Obviosuly I dont expect 10 or 11!! I am abit of a tan-fanatic and have choosen Egypt for a bit of winter sun thinking I will get a good tan!! I am now wondering if I have chosen the right destination?
Wonder if any one can help me who has been that time of year!! I dont want to come home white!!!!
All comments welcome!
Thanks in advance!
will it be warm in december going for my bithday will we be able to sun bathe

Hi there
I wondered if anyone could help me with a little bit of advice? Basically I have been on holiday to Sharm El Sheikh but that was in the month of June and it was really hot. My boyfriend and I are looking at booking a holiday to go over again to Sharm El Sheik but at the beginining of Decemeber and so I wondered if anyone could let me know what the weather is like out there then?
I dont mind the evenings being a lot cooler and realise that it wont obviously be as hot as when we went in June but wondered roughly what the temperature is likely to be as we dont really want to go if it is not really that warm?
Any advice would absolutely brilliant!
Many Thanks in advance!

We are going back on the 24th November for a week until the 2nd December, i can certainly let you know when i get back. To be honest the friends we have met there have basically said it will be middle 70s in December, but cooler in the evenings, eg, windy. I too came back this year in June and the heat was over whelming, we are hoping this time, that we can sit in the sun, as opposed to hiding from it

Just been looking at a couple of old photos from our trip in December a couple of years ago.
One of the party had the distinctive white glasses on, so it must have been hot enough to tan.
As mentioned we soft southerners need to wrap up a bit in the evening though.
One of the photos showed the temperature board displaying air 28, water 23 and pool 20 but I reckon the pool was in fahrenheit!
Biggest problem is the wind, in the shade it is fine.

Off to Luxor at the end of April for a Nile cruise. I have just read something and wondered if anyone had been affected by it?
From the http://www.touregypt.net/climate.htm website
From the http://www.touregypt.net/climate.htm website
The winds, known to Europeans as the sirocco and to Egyptians as the khamsin, usually arrive in April but occasionally occur in March and May. The winds form in small but vigorous low-pressure areas in the Isthmus of Suez and sweep across the northern coast of Africa. Unobstructed by geographical features, the winds reach high velocities and carry great quantities of sand and dust from the deserts. These sandstorms, often accompanied by winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour, can cause temperatures to rise as much as 20° C in two hours.
going to csr begging of april 09, i know it will be lovely and warm in the day but what about evening/night time temps, i was thinking more about watching entertainment outside and if we will need a cardi on
Middle october i will be going on the nile cruise for a week and then onto Hurghada for a week
Could anyone tell me what the weather is like in october?
Are the evenings alot cooler?.

We came back from Taba on the 3rd February. The wind starts picking up at 5pm, and it does get quite chilly. Lovely and warm in the daytime, plenty of sunbathing opportunities. Hubby usually lives in shorts, but even he was wearing linen trousers and cropped trousers of an evening. Taba is usually a few degrees colder than sharm because of the mountains, but I would still say the evening would be a little nippy! 
Hi. Never been to Egypt before. We are booked for 2 weeks mid july, to the new Sunrise Tirana, i know it will be hot, can anyone advise what sun factor for kids age 13 and 9 also adults. (which brands would you recommend).
Thanks
Rambo
Thanks

It's not so much the heat, more the direct, more overhead sun and clean air - combining to give more exposure to UV.
SPF depends a bit on their skin type, and past exposure - but I'd say 50 for sensitive skin areas (under the eyes etc) and at least 30 elsewhere, perhaps a bit lower as the holiday progresses and they build up some natural protection - and also loose t-shirts. A non-oil spray for the hair/scalp (usually about #15) is also good for everyone.
Of coursde, some authorities would recommend full body suit and stay indoors
Don't worry about returning without a tan, there will be plenty of sunshine to get a good colour even with this approach.

Yes was looking at a factor 50. My son has the best skin as he goes brown very quickly but still want to protect him with a high factor.. My husband, daughter and myself have to be a bit more careful so will avoid the mid-day sun and sunbathe with care. Is it a dry heat? Our hotel has loads of waterslides and is by the beach, it is a new hotel and there isn`t much surrounding it either.
If you have any other info/tips whilst in Egypt it would be greatly appreciated. (been told swim shoes are a must).
