With the onset of April, Russian tourists are thinking about the opportunity to relax in Egypt. The second month of spring in Egypt can offer advantages for recreation, despite some disadvantages. The author of the Zen channel “You can go” explained what awaits travelers during this period and what should be guided when planning a trip.
As for the advantages, the blogger highlighted the following positive points:
- Comfortable air temperature. In April, a moderate air temperature is set in Egypt, about +27-30 °C. This weather is suitable for a comfortable stay and will allow you to avoid the sweltering heat of the summer months.
- Warm pools. The water in the pools warms up well during the day and does not cool down too much at night, so swimming in the pools at the hotel is also pleasant. “It often happens, especially in the second half of April, that the water temperature in the pools is higher than the water temperature in the sea,” the message said.
- It’s a long daylight day. Daylight hours in April reach almost 13 hours. This will please Russians who want to have time to spend their vacation days richly: get up early and already catch the sun.
- The perfect weather for excursions. Due to the moderate temperature and long daylight hours, April becomes an excellent time for various excursions. “For long excursions, which are the majority in Egypt, this is very important,” the author said.
- Easy acclimatization and savings on luggage. In April, the temperature difference between Russia and Egypt is not as great as in winter, which makes it easier to acclimatize. Besides, you don’t need to take a lot of things this month. In the evenings, there is no longer such a cold piercing wind in the land of the pyramids, as, for example, in January. “By and large, it doesn’t take much: flip-flops, shorts, a T-shirt, glasses and sunscreen… maybe jeans or light trousers to go to the hotel restaurant, and some long-sleeved clothes. But not to keep it warm, but to protect it from the sun,” he added.
- Fresh fruits. Egypt in April offers a large number of fresh and delicious fruits that grow without the use of chemicals.
- Prices for tours. This year, the cost of a vacation in Egypt in April is comparable to the most unpopular months for buying a trip in this direction, such as January and February.
However, there were disadvantages too:
- The cool sea. In April, the water temperature in the Red Sea is about +23.3 °C, which is one of the coldest indicators of the year. Fans of long-term swimming and almost free snorkeling may not like this.
- Mosquitoes and flies. Unfortunately, in the spring in Egypt, especially in April, the problem of mosquitoes and flies becomes more noticeable in resorts. Insects can be annoying, especially in hotels where appropriate control measures are not taken. “During the day, flies constantly land on you, and in the evening they are replaced by mosquitoes. The problem of mosquitoes and flies mainly exists in Egypt in March, April and October-November. It is so hot in summer that insects practically do not survive. In winter, during the wind season, they are simply blown away by the wind,” the blogger warned.
