Hi CindyThank you for your messageHope the following helps:Climate/Clothing/Rainy SeasonThis tour is very active and during June / July time tempratures can reach an excess of 90 - 100 degrees.Climate Egypt is nearly entirely desert, therefore temps can be extremely high. However the low humidity makes the heat more bearable. The coolest months are:Cairo Jan Feb Mar Nov Dec °C 12.4 13.9 16.9 18.5 14.4 °F 54.3 57.0 62.4 65.3 57.9 Luxor Jan Feb Mar Nov Dec °C 13.9 16.0 20.1 20.6 15.8 °F 57.0 60.8 68.2 69.1 60.4Clothing I'd recommend lightweight, comfortable clothing and comfortable shoes. Being an arab country, women's clothes should be modest. Shorts, bare backs and sleeveless dresses may cause offence. Don't forget a sun hat. Kind regardsCheryl, your editor

I am thinking of booking this tour next year, I can't do very hot weather, so am I correct in thinking the early part of the year would be a better climate.
