Sharm el-Sheikh
World-class reef diving, reliable winter sun. Resort zone is a bubble — stay inside it.
A decent stretch with some sun and a chance of a shower.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Sea above 21°C every month — the only destination on Earth in this report where that's true. April, May, October, November are the optimum months (air 27–31°C, sea 25–28°C, near-zero rainfall). July and August see 36–42°C in Hurghada and Sharm with bath-like 29°C sea; many divers actively avoid this window. The Red Sea sits outside tropical cyclone tracks — zero hurricane risk.
