Egypt Tours in June
June is hot inland and glorious on the coast. If your priority is the Red Sea, or simply value, this is one of the strongest months of the year.

Inland, June is a dawn-start month. Giza at opening time is comfortable and almost empty; Giza at one in the afternoon is a mistake. Our June itineraries are built around that fact rather than fighting it.
On the coast it is a straightforward beach holiday with five thousand years of history an hour's flight away. Water temperature is around 27 degrees and visibility for diving is at its best.
Prices inland are the lowest of the year. If the heat is something you can plan around, June buys more trip per pound than any other month.

Frequently asked
Is June a sensible time to visit Egypt?
For the Red Sea, yes without reservation. For a Cairo and Upper Egypt itinerary it is workable with dawn starts and long afternoon breaks, and it is the cheapest month to do it.
How warm is the Red Sea in June?
Around 27 C - warm enough to snorkel for hours without a wetsuit.
Is Ramadan in June?
Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year, so it depends on the year. Tell us your dates and we will say plainly what is open, what closes early, and how it changes the itinerary.
Can I still see the pyramids comfortably?
Yes, at opening time. We start Giza early in June and keep the afternoon free.
