When is the best time of year to travel to Egypt? I'm thinking about going in May 2007 if the trip is available.

I went in November last year and it seemed to be the perfe4ct weather. As long as you don't go during the summer you should be okay. I wouldn't go in the summer because the temperatures reach up to 50 degrees celsius or 122 degress fahrenheit.

Darry is totally correct. I was in Dubai(UAE) and Oman last June and it was almost 50 C making it very uncomfortable. I'm from Western Australia and we get 40C summers but for only a short period of time. In summer the middle east its 50 from 9am till about 12 at night without any cool changes.
Hope this helps.
