The weather in Egypt in January is not as hot as you imagine. Just because it is the desert and in Africa, northern Egypt in January can be cold at night and it does rain.

Below are the temperatures for Siwa, Alexandria and Cairo

The desert near Siwa Oasis

Siwa

Siwa in January is very pleasant during the day, around 25 degrees and it never rains here. The temperature drops after sunset and you will need a flees if your not sitting around a fire. The days are always sunny and within a few minutes of the sun rising it is T shirt weather outside, yet not hot and stifling. A `perfect English spring day.

Our Siwa Villa has heating and three fire places to keep you warm at night and a huge sun terrace for that sun tan during the day. See details on the Siwa Villa and Siwa Oasis.

Average temperature during the day in January is 23 -25 degrees and a low of 8 to 10 degrees at night.

Please see details on our All Inclusive Holidays to Egypt.
