The skies remained clear, the sun dominated and temperatures were pleasant and never too hot. Perfect weather for outdoor adventures.
RenskeAt night it got colder, which made the walk along the Nile very pleasant. A few sporadic sandstorms brought dust, but nothing serious.
ChantalThe sun was shining and we were able to fully enjoy our active vacation. Less pleasant was the occasional strong wind that caused unexpected sandstorms. In short, a great experience.
DavidBrilliant sunshine, warm days and cool nights. However, there were also dusty days, which was unpleasant.
Sophie ColléThe temperature ranged from moderately warm to hot, but fortunately not oppressive. The sky was clear and the sun shone almost every day, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Sometimes it got too hot.
Jan NagelhoutThe temperatures, up to 40 degrees at times, were somewhat unbearable, but the dry heat was more bearable than expected. However, remember to hydrate generously.
Jelte ClementsDue to the high temperatures, you must love heat. My advice is to drink plenty of water on hot days.

MarcellaAlthough it was quite tiring, the nights were pleasantly cool. During the day there was plenty of sunshine, not a cloud in the sky.
Cas WeijenbergThis made it difficult to feel comfortable outside, even in the shade. Although it was sunny all the time, I would have preferred a cooler climate.
