Sharm el Sheikh weather · November
Sharm el Sheikh in November is warm and pleasant, with highs of about 28C and nights of about 20C. The sea is 27C, warmer than in April or May. There are about 9 hours of sun a day and rain days average zero. It is one of the best months for a beach week without the heat. Here is swimming, wind, crowds, packing and day trips.
Yes. November is warm enough for the beach every day, and comfortable for walking and day trips.
The sea holds its summer warmth longer than the air. At 27C it is warmer than any month from January to May.
It suits couples, families outside school holidays, divers and first-time snorkellers. It is a strong choice for late-season winter sun from the UK.
Yes. At 27C the sea is warm, and long snorkels are comfortable. On a breezy day, getting out of the water feels cooler.
Divers often move to a thicker wetsuit during the month. Ask your dive centre what suits the week.
The house reefs are at their best on calm mornings. Visibility is usually good.
The northerly is usually lighter now than in summer. A strong day can still stop the Tiran boats for a day or two.
Book the trip that matters most early in your stay. Ras Mohammed, about 20 km south, is the one most divers want.
Deck rides back feel cool by late afternoon. Bring a light top for the boat.
Across Egypt, November is busy and prices are high. It sits below the Christmas peak, but well above the autumn floor.
There is no Egyptian public holiday in November. The Cairo International Film Festival runs from 11 to 20 November 2026 at the Cairo Opera House.
Late November is often calmer than the middle of the month, before the December rush begins.
Summer clothes for the day, and a light layer for nights at about 20C.
A hat, sunglasses, rash vest and sunscreen. Nine hours of sun still burns.
Reef shoes help on the stony shore. A warm coat is only needed for the Mount Sinai sunrise.
November is a good month for Mount Sinai. The climb is cool and comfortable, but the summit is cold before dawn. Bring a warm jacket.
Cairo is about 24C in November and about an hour away by air. Luxor is about 28C, close to perfect for temples. Give it its own leg rather than squeezing it into a beach week.
Petra by coach and ferry is pleasant in November weather. It is still a full day, leaving at 1:00am.
Memphis Tours, the operator whose trips we sell, has no set Sharm itinerary. Send a request and we will ask them to plan a tailor-made November trip.
