Clean, spacious beaches, sandy bottom make the bay popular for families with children. There are also coral reefs here, but further, not in the beach area.

When choosing winter tours to Egypt, carefully study the information about hotels. It is the level and atmosphere of the hotel that determine the quality of the rest. Pay attention to the presence of heated pools, air conditioning in the room, distance to the sea and food.

Winds in Egypt - an overview of windy weather in the most popular resorts in Egypt: Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Taba and the Red Sea.

Winds in Egypt blow almost constantly, from April to early June they are stronger, and noticeably weaken in summer.

Throughout the year, the north-east wind prevails in Egypt, and starting in March, it changes to the south-west.

Winds in Egypt are coldest in January!

The coldest winds in Egypt blow in winter time of the year, from December to February, they are especially cold in January - this is the coldest month in Egypt.

Winds in Egypt are strongest in spring, from March to April!

If the Egyptian winds blow from the desert, then the mountains serve as a reliable barrier for them, but they are not everywhere or are located far from the coast.

To understand in which of the places of tourist rest the winds in Egypt will blow stronger or weaker, it is worth looking at the relief map, and look at the location of the mountains and the desert.

Winds on the Red Sea.

On the surface of the Red Sea, winds can be quite long and strong, here it all depends on the time of the year and a certain part of the sea.

The north-east wind in the southern part of the Red Sea prevails mainly in winter, while the south-west wind prevails in summer.

The north wind is more typical for the central part of the Red Sea; it prevails more in the summer season and passes through the entire sea.

Winds in the Red Sea are usually stronger in the morning than at night and in the middle of the day. Fans of boarding on the surface of the Red Sea, surfers and kiters, try not to miss the morning breeze.

The winds in the Red Sea blow more strongly in winter than in summer.

In the spring on northern part Red Sea, a very strong and hot wind can come from the Sahara Desert, which can blow for fifty days in a row, it is called - khamsin (translated from Arabic - fifty).

Winds in Hurghada.

Let's look at the map of Hurghada, to view it we use Yandex map in satellite mode (from space), and determine the relief of this area.

The map clearly shows that Hurghada, where the hotels for rest are located, is located on the deserted coast of the Red Sea, the mountains that should protect Hurghada from the winds are far enough, more than 20 kilometers. This location of Hurghada in an open, desert area creates all the conditions for the blowing winds.

The wind in Hurghada almost always blows, with an average speed of 4-7 m / s from April to October and 3-4 m / s from November to March.

In winter in Hurghada, the winds become colder, as the air in the desert has significant fluctuations in temperature to decrease, especially in the evening and at night.

The Red Sea with its warmth warms the adjacent coast, where it stands resort town Hurghada, and the blowing cold winds from the desert begin to blow off these warm layers of air, as a result of this, in the winter in the evening, it can get colder quickly, and even stronger at night.

In winter, it is cool in Hurghada in the evening!

Therefore, when planning an evening walk around Hurghada in the winter season, do not forget to bring along or put on warm clothes.

If the winds are strong during the day, and in order not to lose these valuable days while relaxing in Egypt, it is better to visit fascinating excursions in Egypt, for example, to Luxor (there is a real heat in the summer at + 40 ° C and above), or go shopping in the nearest shops around hotel in Hurghada.

The coast of the Red Sea, where Hurghada is located, protrudes deep into the sea, and it becomes even more open to the winds not only from the desert, but also from the sea, so when choosing a hotel in Hurghada for a vacation it is worth looking at the map of its location.

Advice on choosing a hotel in Hurghada!

Are the Sharm el-Maya and Naama bays the most windless?

Look at your future hotel, where you plan to relax on Yandex map in satellite mode (from space), zoom in as close as possible and pay attention to the Red Sea coast, where the hotel is located, if you see many different ships or ships in the sea off the coast of the hotel , usually it happens in Hurghada, which means there is a possibility that you will swim among them, plus the smell of exhaust gases from working engines, usually this happens in inexpensive hotels.

Winds in Sharm El Sheikh.

Now let's take a look at the map of Sharm El Sheikh, this is the city of more expensive hotels in Egypt. We see that high mountains stretch along the coast of the Red Sea like a solid wall, and they protect Sharm El Sheikh hotels from the winds from the desert.

The winds in Sharm El Sheikh are weaker than in Hurghada!

In Sharm El Sheikh, the winds are much less than in Hurghada, since the mountains are very close to the sea (but they are not as close as in Taba), which means that we can conclude that the coastal area is more protected and the mountains serve as a reliable barrier to winds from the desert.

This location of Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt is more protected from the winds, which creates warmer weather in it, 2 degrees warmer than in Hurghada.

The weather in Sharm El Sheikh is warmer than in Hurghada!

For the blowing winds in Sharm El Sheikh, there are only two options left: the wind blows from the sea or blows along the coast, this gives a greater gain in comparison with Hurghada, which is open from all directions for the winds.

Sharm El Sheikh has many quiet bays that are warmer and more calm, especially in winter, such as Naama Bay!

Winds in Taba.

Now let's look at the map of Taba, which stands on the shores of the Gulf of Aqaba, this resort is surrounded by very beautiful mountains in the form of rocks, which are close to the sea and stretch along the coast, so there are almost no winds here, especially in the winter season.

Rocky mountains on all sides protect the coast of Taba from the winds, creating warm and calm weather.

Here, from the coast of Taba, a beautiful view of Saudi Arabia and Jordan opens up.

Wind and rest in Egypt.

When building hotels in Egypt, they try to take into account the discomfort from the blowing winds. If you look closely at the location of the hotel buildings, you can understand how this is done. In general, most of the hotels in Egypt are located next to each other, which is also a big plus for protection from the winds. The inner territory of the hotel and its swimming pools are blocked from the wind from three sides by buildings (usually this is the main building - the reception and rooms for guests' accommodation), leaving only the access to the sea to the beach unprotected. This arrangement of buildings allows you to comfortably relax in windy weather inside the hotel, especially by the pool.

When choosing a hotel for vacation in Egypt, during the cold season, you should choose a hotel with a heated pool, otherwise the water in the pool will be very cool.

In winter in Egypt, morning and evening are cool and cold winds blow, and during the day the sun is very warm.

The Red Sea in winter in Egypt is always warm, its temperature does not drop below +20 ° C, and you can swim in it with comfort!

If, when leaving the sea, after swimming in windy weather, you are cold, wipe yourself off with a towel or wrap yourself in it for a short time, a little later you will feel warm again, the rays of the warm Egyptian sun will do their job.

If, in windy weather, you close the sun lounger on the beach from the winds with special protective partitions (screens, usually made of twigs), which are available in almost all hotels in Egypt, then you will be comfortable and warm.

Starting in mid-April, the winds begin to weaken and the weather in Egypt becomes sunnier, warmer and very comfortable for a beach holiday!

In the heat of summer, the blowing winds in Egypt create a light refreshing breeze, especially when leaving the sea or the hotel pool, and it is refreshingly pleasant. But remember, this gentle breeze is dangerous in terms of sunburn, you can quickly get burned without feeling the scorching heat of the sun.

Winds in Egypt are very fond of surfers and kiters, who from year to year come to ride to their favorite places. Egyptian winds on the Red Sea coast have an even and constant air flow, which is very important when gliding on water. Especially famous among these lovers of catching the waves, the Dahab resort, thanks to its unique wind rose, is considered the most popular of the places for skiing.

Relax in Egypt all year round, and the gentle sun will give you a cheerful mood and a warm sea!

Sharm El Sheikh landmarks

For another three months, winter will cover us with snow and torment us with frost. Or maybe go to Egypt: bask under the African sun, improve your health in the waters of the Red Sea ?! Here is just a small nuance - winter at this time in Egypt. Yes, it is free from cold and frosty weather, but in Egypt in January-February it is quite windy. And this can become a big obstacle to enjoyment and relaxation. In order not to spoil your vacation, the travel agency "Confetti" recommends choosing a tour carefully, relying on the experience of specialists.
So why are these winds blowing? If you do not delve into the details of the climatic features of these latitudes, the wind rises in the deserts to very high rates at the height of winter. The echoes of the wind also reach the coast. At the same time, the breezes will be much more active, because the desert is close to the line of hotels. The wind in Sharm is another matter: small mountains and hills impede strong gusts, and in order to comfortably sunbathe in February on the banks of the Sharm, it is important to choose the right bay.
The sea has cut the land so that in some places you can find a very comfortable place to relax. From the wind from the sea, it shelters the sea flowing into the land, and on the other hand, the hotels located in the lowlands are closed by the hills in front.

Rating of Sharm el-Sheikh bays protected from the wind according to the travel agency "Confetti" (Kharkiv):

1. Naama Bey

Naama is the very first bay from where they began to build hotels in Sharm. The sea here cuts into the land like a crescent, so children can also swim and sunbathe during periods of strong winds. During the height of winter in Kharkov, tours to hotels in the Naama area can become more expensive. And it is not surprising, because the rest here will not be overshadowed by the cold and big waves.
Among the hotels in Naama Bay, good options for your trip are:
1.Sonesta Beach 5 * ... The hotel has an elongated territory, a small sandy beach and a convenient entry from the sand. Corals will not surprise you with their special beauty, but here are fish for every color and taste.
2. Novotel Palm 4 * and Novotel Beach 5 * - two absolutely ideal hotels to stay at any time. In winter, when the wind blows everywhere in Sharm, comfort and silence reign in Novoteli. Novotel Palm is located across the street from its five-star friend, which does not prevent it from having a convenient access to the beach and a very active environment for children. And what could be better than to go on vacation with the kids to Egypt and calmly swim in the warm sea and even with a sandy sunset.
3. Ghazala Gardens 4 * - it doesn’t matter that the hotel is on the 2nd line, walking or driving to the beach in front of the 5 * Gazala Beach will not be difficult, but as a service, a pleasant atmosphere and comfort you will definitely not have to worry.
4. Tropitel Naama Bay 5 * - an economical hotel for budget tours. The beach is sheltered from the wind, close to fun and a promenade. What else do you need in Sharm in January?
5. Do you want to relax luxuriously? Eat delicious, sit at neatly served tables in a restaurant? In the evening, want to walk together and have fun in Naaama? Maritim Jolie Ville Resort & Casino 5 * - your proven tour option. The bay is sheltered from strong winds, the sea is interesting, the service corresponds to the level of 5 stars.

2. Sharm El Maya

The second no less windless bay of Sharma is Sharm el-Maya. The southernmost part of the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt is shallow enough, closed by hills and ideal for relaxing in Sharm with children, as well as people of age. Visits here, mainly from the shore, fish and reef are also present. Walking to the Old Market is no more than 10 minutes, which means you can take a walk outside the hotel.
1. It should be noted that the main hotel of El Maya Bay Albatros Aqua Blu Resort 4 * ... It is difficult to imagine such expanse and variety of recreation anywhere else. The hotel has its own huge water park with 64 slides and slopes. It is intended for adults, teenagers and even small children. The beach of the Albatross hotel is its own, but within a 5-minute walk. So that guests do not burden themselves with walks in the sun, a free shuttle bus runs every half hour. It is he who delivers vacationers to a quiet bay to swim in the Red Sea. The advantages of the hotel include a variety of food: the main restaurant and 3-4 more a la carte will surprise you with the masterpieces of the cuisine, the dishes are served according to the buffet system. Well, the price is very low, as for such a high-quality tour to Sharm.
2. A hotel where you want to rest from the hustle and bustle and scream, drown in the rays of warmth and relax. There are also tours for adults only in Sharm, in such secluded hotels. It can rightfully be considered as such Iberotel Palace 5 * ... The sea comes close to the beautiful territory of the hotel. Animators are present, but only to entertain the guests a little. The rooms correspond to the brand, which is emphasized by the cost of the trip here.
3. Turquoise Beach 3 * ... Those who are looking for an economical way to go on vacation to a windless hotel in Sharma - Turkesa - this is it!

The hotel is very fond of retired people, connoisseurs of bargaining, unhurried rest.

3. Ras-um-el-Sid

The complex name of the bay is nothing in comparison with the cozy location behind the mountains, without wind, and even with very beautiful, rich in fish and colorful corals. This bay is for diving and snorkeling lovers. Here it is close to the Old Market and the entertainment complex "1001 nights". Therefore, the hotels of the Um-el-Sid bay can be considered active. The prices for tours from Kharkov to hotels in this region of Sharm can be high, but the pleasure is not to be obliterated!
1. Reef Oasis Beach 5 * - a great huge hotel with its amazing corals. Near the hotel you can find a romantic cafe on the Farsha rock - this is in case you are looking for a hotel in Sharm where you can propose to your beloved - this restaurant is very suitable!

2.Club Feraana Reef 4 + * hotel on the first line with an excellent beach and reef. It will be very good here on the beach area, but in the hotel, due to its elevated location, the wind can be felt more.

Where will the strongest waves and winds be in February and January?

Unfortunately, the most developing region with the highest quality and newest hotels is located in the north of Sharm el-Sheikh - in Nabq. The winds are very steep here, often breaking the branches of palm trees.
The entire Hadaba area can be considered an equally cool area. It is not for nothing that it translates as "High Mountain" - all hotels here are open to the flow of winds, and the sea shores are practically not closed.
Around Soho, in Sharks Bay, the wind will be felt and children may not be the most suitable place to relax in February. However, for adults, the proximity to the entertainment area is quite high level hotels can be to your liking.
Contact our travel agency so that even a trip to Egypt in February does not become a disappointment. We will help you find an inexpensive option in the warmest zone.

Egypt has long become the most sought after destination among tourists. The prices there are quite affordable, and the service is getting better every year. In addition, it is not far to fly and the sea is warm enough for swimming even in winter. You just need to choose the right place. The weather in the winter months is sunny with t about 25 degrees during the day, but cold winds blow. Therefore, it is so important to choose a place where the beach is protected from the wind by a rocky coast. The largest number such places in Sharm El Sheikh.

SO, Sharm El Sheikh: The warmest and most windless place can be considered

El Phanar Bay (aka Ras Umm Sid): The following hotels have a beach in this bay:

Iberotel Club Fanara & Residence 4 *, Reef Oasis Beach Resort 5 *, SENTIDO Reef Oasis Senses Resort 5 *, Club El Faraana Reef 4 *

Also, if you look on the map a little to the left of El Phanar, there is another most favorable for winter

Sharm El Maya:

Sharm El Maya

In the bay there are 4 hotels of the 1st line Beach Albatros Sharm 4 *, Dessole Seti Sharm Resort 4 *, Iberotel Palace 5 * and Turquoise Beach Hotel 3 * and one 2nd Albatros Aqua Blu Sharm 4 *. Also in the bay there are several beaches of city hotels and a couple of public beaches. Near the bay there is a market - Old Market.

Naama Bay- the most famous bay of Sharma and naturally it leads in the number and variety of hotels suitable for winter recreation, not only because it is calm, but also because the main entertainment areas are located there, and this is very useful in winter, when daylight hours ends at five in the evening ...

The arrow on the map shows the direction of the wind. Therefore, the most protected from the wind can be considered Movenpick Sharm El Sheikh Resort Naama Bay 5 *
Another plus - there are practically no reefs in this bay, the beach is sandy everywhere, with the exception of a few hotels along the edges of the bay. At the same time, the southern region and the hotels located there are purged. Stella Di Mare and Halomi Beach are at risk. The most ideal location is at the Moevenpick. Notable hotels include Sonesta Beach & Club, Marriott Resort & Marriot Mountain, Novotel Beach & Novotel Palm, Hilton Sharm El Sheikh Fayrouz Resort (not working for all), Hilton Sharm Dreams, Gasala Beach & Gasala Garden, Maritime Jolie Ville Resort & Casino, Iberotel Lido. There are also many inexpensive hotels of dubious quality in Naama, located far from the sea and without a private beach.

White Knight Bay also suitable for winter holidays.

In the bay there are hotels Royal Savoy 5 *, Island View 5 *, Conkorde El Salam, Hilton Sharks Bay and Siva Sharm Resort & Spa 5 * (former Savita)

Between the hotels of the 1st and 2nd lines is the Soho esplanade - a modern shopping mall with fashionable restaurants, shops and entertainment centers. Here you can even go ice skating on the indoor ice rink.

Hotels can also be referred to as "winter" Sharks Bay

Dessole Royal Rojana Resort 5 * and AA Grand Oasis Resort 4 *.

Melia Sinai 5 *, located in the Ras Nasrani Bay, can also be considered relatively calm. But Melia Sharm, as you can see in the picture below, is not like that.
In the gulf El Basha Bay windless hotels Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort & Spa 5 *, Continental Plaza Beach Resort 5 * and Sharm Grand Plaza Resort 5 *.

Well, the last one Coral Bay.

It is almost entirely occupied by the Domina complex. The most windless Domina hotels are located in the northern part of the complex. These are Aquamarin Pool, Sultan, Elisir, King's and Prestige hulls.
As well as the Sinai Grand Resort Valtur 4 * hotel, but it is impossible to get into it from Russian tour operators.

What is categorically not worth considering for a winter holiday is the Nabq area. Here the winds and currents are always strong and the wave is even in summer. Another disadvantage is the fact that there is no entrance from the coast in Nabq - a coral slab, and through it long pontoons and piers over the edge of the reef. The length of the pontoons / piers in places is more than 500 meters.

Hurghada

Hurghada has a wonderful windless area in Makadi Bay.
Excellent windless hotels Fort Arabesque 5 * and children's Sunrise Select Royal Makadi Resort 5 *. In addition - Makadi Spa 5 * and Sunwing Waterworld Makadi 5 * And between them and the Arabesques - a thin strip almost perpendicular to the sea - Prima Life Makadi Resort 5 *. The Al Nabila Grand Bay 5 * hotel is also referred to Makadi - the beach there is also well protected from the wind. Although the hotel itself is located far from the entertainment and infrastructure of Makadi.
Hotels in the central part of Hurghada can also be classified as windless. But fans of the underwater world have nothing to do there, the reef is mostly dead. But these beaches are suitable for families with small children, because have a gentle sandy entry into the sea.
