Luxor, Egypt

There are 45 desert destinations in our catalog, and Luxor's numbers hold their own: a 99/100 sun score at its November peak, when rain interrupts barely 0% of days. For a culture-first visit in dry, desert-edge country, the data is a good starting point.

Across a typical year, afternoon temperatures swing between 22°C (January) and 42°C (August). The wet–dry contrast is modest: 1% rain-day odds in January against 0% in February. If 24°C is your bar for proper warmth, count on February–December.

The seasonal arc is clear in the data: summer averages 42°C against winter's 24°C, while rain-day odds move from 0% in winter and 0% in spring to 0% in summer and 0% through autumn. Winter wins on the numbers and summer loses them; everything in between is a trade-off between warmth and crowds. If your dates are flexible, December buys you 24°C warmth at the quiet end of the season.
