January is one of the most pleasant times to visit Egypt, offering cool, clear days ideal for outdoor exploration. Here's what to expect across each city on our journey.
| City | Avg. High | Avg. Low | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cairo | 19°C / 66°F | 9°C / 48°F | Cool mornings; bright sunny afternoons. Light jacket needed at nights. |
| Luxor | 23°C / 73°F | 7°C / 45°F | Warmer days but very cold nights by the Nile. Layer generously. |
| Aswan | 25°C / 77°F | 11°C / 52°F | Warmest of the three; comfortable evenings but still cool in shade. |
Even in winter, the Egyptian sun can be deceptively strong. Daily sun protection is highly recommended.
Expect a very dry climate. Staying hydrated and bringing moisturizing products is essential.
Deserts lose heat rapidly. Temperatures will drop significantly as soon as the sun goes down.
