Located on the shores of the Red Sea, Sharm El Sheikh attracts year round visitors with its sunny, warm and dry weather. Due to its consistently tropical weather, every month is great for adventure travel, especially for those who love to enjoy the water.
However, it is important to note that the sand storm season runs from Febuary to April. This doesn’t mean that every day is stormy but it does make it a little harder to plan as each storm tends to last a few days.
