New Year is considered a family holiday, and many people prefer to celebrate it with their families. Some people like the idea of celebrating the New Year in an unconventional way: somewhere abroad, in warm lands. Choosing Egypt, don't worry about the weather. It is there, much warmer than in Russia.
Weather in Egypt on New Year's Eve
The water temperature ranges from 20 to 25 degrees, and the air temperature ranges from 18 to 27 degrees. Periodically, the air temperature in winter can be similar to summer: within 30 - 35 degrees.
Wind is considered one of the inconveniences of the Egyptian weather. In those parts, on New Year's Eve, it can be quite cool. But it will not affect swimming and sunbathing, in the interval of 12-15 hours. It is at this time that you will have a great opportunity to swim and sunbathe under the bright and warm sun.
If the water on some beach still seems cold to you, buy an inexpensive boat trip or a boat trip. During the trip there will be 3-4 stops for swimming in the coral reefs. It is there that the water is warmer than in other places.
The nights are cool enough. Therefore, after sunset, wear jeans and a windbreaker. At this time, the air temperature will be within 15 degrees.
Cool nights can cause the pool water near the hotel to become cold. But in many hotels, the pool is heated in the morning. So practically nothing will affect the ability to swim in warm water.
Cool nights are not a reason not to use a variety of sunscreens and lotions during the day. It is also worth remembering that sun protection will not protect you from heatstroke. Therefore, try to stay in the heat no more than 2 - 3 hours a day, especially in the first days after arrival.
Entertainment at this time
There is a huge amount of entertainment in Egypt on New Year's Eve. Due to the fact that the weather is warm enough, you will be offered excursions to the historical sites of Egypt. For example, a cruise on the Nile, folklore trips to the Bedouins - either by bus or by ATVs.
When choosing an evening or overnight excursion, make sure that all family members have warm clothes and comfortable shoes. Remember that the nights are cold in Egypt.
One of the most popular excursions is “Mount Moses”. Locals firmly believe that it was on this mountain that Moses communicated with God and received the famous "Ten Commandments" on the tablets. This excursion includes a night ascent to the mountain, meeting the dawn at the top, descent to the monastery of St. Catherine.
Young people here can find a huge number of night bars and individual parties. Usually, for the New Year holidays, they prepare special programs for their visitors.
