When to go, and when not to
March, April, October, and November stand out as the best months to visit Giza based on the climate averages. Daytime highs in these months range from about 26.7 to 31.9 Celsius, sunshine runs between roughly 9.5 and 11.3 hours a day, and rainfall stays very low, at 0 to 4 millimeters, making for comfortable sightseeing conditions.
The trade-off is that some of these same months, along with July and August, fall within the wider peak season, so popular sites can be busier even when the weather is pleasant. July and August bring the hottest conditions of the year, with highs reaching 40.1 Celsius in July and 39.2 Celsius in August, and travelers who visit during the off-season months of June, July, and August should be prepared for that heat in exchange for lower costs and quieter conditions.
