Is June Right For You?
June could work if:
- You're only doing Red Sea beach/diving
- You're extremely heat-tolerant
- Budget is your absolute priority
- You'll stay in air-conditioned spaces most of the day
June is not recommended if:
- You want to see the Pyramids, Luxor, or Aswan properly
- You have any heat sensitivity
- This is your only trip to Egypt (wait for better conditions)
Honest Recommendation
Unless you're specifically doing a Red Sea diving trip, consider waiting. October-April offers a fundamentally different (better) experience.
