Vejret i Nuweiba (Taba) i december

Wadi Rum-forum threads on a December visit describe daytime conditions as genuinely pleasant, posters calling the real challenge nighttime temperatures capable of dropping close to zero regardless of how the day felt. Regulars call camp blankets generally sufficient for warmth, several posters reporting comfortable nights even in light pajamas once properly bundled. Posters recommend Wadi Rum Night Luxury Camp, Sun City Camp or Mars Land Camp as reliable options, all named repeatedly for good safety standards and comfort. Regulars call stargazing a genuine December highlight, clear desert skies considered ideal once visitors are dressed warmly enough to stay outside comfortably. Posters recommend real cold-weather layers regardless of a warm afternoon, several regulars describing conditions after dark as considerably colder than a first-time visitor might expect. The record: 16.9C days feeling like 16C, 6.1C nights, effectively no measurable precipitation and 44 percent humidity.

The Egypt forum's beginner-diving thread is where Nuweiba gets its strongest endorsement: a long-time Nuweiba contributor calls it ideal for beginners because the diving is shore diving from easily accessible sandy beaches, and with fewer visitors instruction is usually one-on-one rather than in large groups; Egypt's destination expert agrees there are barely any difficult currents and that the sandy bottom makes it easy diving. April is when that coast is at its most dependable: 29.1C days, 18.3C nights, essentially no precipitation at all, 40 percent humidity, 11.7 hours of sun, a 22.1C sea and the strong seasonal breeze - around 23 kph - that the Sinai is known for.

Forum posters describe October across Egypt generally as warm enough for comfortable sea swimming without tipping into the more oppressive heat of summer - one poster specifically called the dry desert heat this time of year 'quite manageable' compared to peak season. Posters consistently name the spring (February-April) and autumn (October-November) shoulder windows as the best overall stretches to visit the country, avoiding both summer's harshest heat and winter's cooler evenings. For a coastal desert town like Nuweiba specifically, this general framing lines up well with real conditions: warm, dry, sunny days well suited to beach and diving activities on the Gulf of Aqaba coast.
