Visiting Egypt When have to Go

The fact that expats often leave the emirate for summer might give you a sense of quite how hot it can get this is a desert, after all. Of course, prices for package holidays (and also flight prices and hotel room rates if you want to create your own package) go down dramatically as the mercury rises, and so hotels and beaches do still run at a respectable occupancy, and some real deals can be had during the very hottest months of June, July, August and September.

If you think you can manage with high humidity and searing heat, you will find some amazing bargains. Having lived through it more than a few times, here is our advice on coping with the heat.

If you do take the plunge and book during this time, try to take advantage of the slashed prices and stay in a hotel where the facilities mean you don't have to travel far to stay occupied - even the trip from air-conditioned lobby to taxi will leave you dripping with sweat and with sunglasses fogged up so badly you won't be able to see.

In addition, every summer, Emirates Airlines also spearheads the Kids Go Free promotion, which sees more than 100 hotels, malls and tourist attractions across the city link up to offer great summer value for families.

From mid-May to the end of September, as long as they are accompanied by two adults, up to two children under age 16 get free accommodation, meals, rides on the sharm Metro, airport transfers and entrance to numerous attractions including Wild Wadi and Aquaventure at the Atlantis.
