The best time to visit Alexandria is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These months bring warm days and gentle sea breezes. The weather feels pleasant without the intense heat.

If you visit during these months, you’ll enjoy temperatures around 20–26°C and lower humidity. The sea is calm, and sightseeing feels much more comfortable. Crowds are also smaller than during the peak summer period.

Winter can be mild too, but rain is more frequent between December and February. Summer (June to August) can get very hot, with highs above 30°C. You can still visit during that time, but sightseeing and walking outdoors can feel tiring.

The cheapest time to visit Alexandria is during the low or “shoulder” seasons. This usually means late autumn, early winter, and some spring months. You can often find the best flight deals in November, December, or early March. During these months, demand is lower, and airlines drop prices.
