Tips for traveling to Egypt in July

Pack right for July
- Sunshine does give you a nice color and a boost of vitamin D. However, if you don't have a lot of skin pigment, you should sunbathe carefully to avoid burning yourself, getting sun rash and, in the worst case scenario, skin cancer. This is where sunscreens and opaque clothing work particularly well. Another safe way is to stay in the shade when the sun burns the most, roughly between 9 am and 3 pm.
- Warm - neither hot nor cool, are probably the most comfortable when you think of sunbathing. Shorts, shorter skirts or dresses, tank tops and t-shirts are the basics here. If you're going to a seaside resort, don't forget your swimwear and maybe even a snorkel, mask and flippers.
- Light winds are probably most comfortable in hot weather but is cooling in cool and cold weather. If it is hot (when the air temperature is about 30 degrees), the wind can have a warming effect. A thin, windproof jacket and long trousers help to counteract these effects.
- Low humidity makes it easier to regulate the temperature closest to your body with the clothes you are wearing. You also won't sweat as much as with higher levels of humidity. However, very low humidity can lead to drier mucous membranes and irritated eyes - you might want to pack something for that.
