Traveller notes on Nuweiba in February
Notes from nearby Aqaba (64 km away)
Nuweiba doesn't have its own notes for February yet — these are about Aqaba, close enough to share the season.
Regulars are specific Aqaba runs a genuine 6 to 8 degrees Celsius warmer than most of the rest of Jordan this month, a real draw for visitors escaping colder weather elsewhere in the country or back home. Our row backs that mild, genuinely dry read, 23.9C over 11.9C nights feeling 11C, with rain light at 7.8mm across 1.4 days and humidity at 54 percent. Regulars are consistent the sea itself stays genuinely cold despite the pleasant air, swimming a matter of personal tolerance rather than a given even on a warm, sunny afternoon. This remains one of the better months overall for exploring the town and nearby sites without the summer's heat. The sea sits at 21.4C. The record: 9.9 hours of sun, a 12.8 kph wind and AQI 44.
Other months in Nuweiba
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.
