Nuweiba (Taba) sää — marraskuu

November in Dahab runs around 23 to 28C, and regulars add a light sweater and long trousers for the evenings, more so towards the end of the month. The wind is the month's real character: November to March is the windsurfing season here, mornings can blow hard, and the forum's line is that the strong spells are avoidable by choosing a sheltered spot rather than a different day. For diving you will want a wetsuit, easily rented in town. The sites are close in - the Islands, the reef in front of the Meridien, and the Blue Hole, which regulars discuss with respect rather than enthusiasm. The record: 26.6C days that feel like 25C, 19.6C nights, 1.3 precipitation days, humidity 49 percent, 9.7 hours of sun and a 26.3C Red Sea.

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.
