In January, you can find an abundance of fruits in the markets of Sharm el-Sheikh, and all because the Egyptian "farmers" continue to harvest. In particular, oranges, lemons and grapefruits ripen in Egypt in the first month of the year. Despite the fact that the January climate is considered the coldest in the country, it in no way affects the green spaces, which are so abundant in the oases. From a dank gray winter, a tourist finds himself in a bright and sunny, evergreen summer.
Of the holidays that are celebrated in Sharm el-Sheikh in January, one can single out New Year and the Nativity of the Prophet Mohammed, referred to locally as Maulid al-Nabi.
Sharm El Sheikh and surroundings
- Where to stay: in Sharm El Sheikh, families with children will enjoy
January weather
January in Sharm El Sheikh - best time for excursions. This month is considered the coldest in terms of local residents and quite comfortable for tourists. The daily air temperature in January is 21°C. At night, the thermometers drop to 16-17°C. Rain in Sharm El Sheikh is extremely rare and even in January, precipitation can fall no more than one day for the entire month. The water temperature in the Red Sea allows you to swim during the day, as it is 23°C.
What to take with you on vacation?
Although January in Sharm El Sheikh is significantly different from our January, warm clothes will not hurt. I advise you to take a windbreaker and a warm sweater with you, because at this time it is quite windy here.
Daytime air temperature allows you to sunbathe on the beach or near the pool, so do not forget to take sunblock. By the way, if you plan to relax with your children or the water temperature of the Red Sea seems cool to you, then choose a hotel that has a heated pool.
Be sure to bring warm pajamas and woolen socks. Hotel rooms are not equipped with heaters and at night they are very cold, which makes you feel like you are in a crypt. Mosquitoes come to life from such coolness, so along with warm pajamas, grab a remedy for these annoying bloodsuckers.
January goodies
If we have a fragrant strawberry season at the beginning of summer, here the strawberry season starts in January. Along with strawberries, I advise you to taste the local fruits of this season, such as:
- Bananas;
- Citrus;
- Dates;
- Physalis;
- Guava;
- Grenades.
Do not be surprised if it seems to you that they are much juicier and more aromatic than those to which we are accustomed. It's all about the sun, which literally saturates the local gifts of nature with its rays.
Holidays and festivals
The main holiday in January is the Coptic Christmas Festival, which takes place on January 7th. It is simply impossible to miss this spectacle, because at this time it comes to life and transforms despite the decline in tourist activity. During the Coptic Christmas Festival, you can see and visit:
- colorful parades;
- musical concerts;
- theatrical performances.
All events are purely religious and peaceful in nature with an amazing atmosphere. Festive masses are served in local temples and every corner of Sharm El Sheikh is saturated with love. The faces of passers-by are illuminated with smiles and you feel at home comfortably. In general, Christmas is such a holiday that is equally good in any corner of the earth. Everyone loves and respects him, without being tied to a particular religious denomination, and this is doubly great!
Are there many tourists in January?
No. Invasion of tourists in January is not observed here, but also their complete absence, too. Why? It is difficult to answer this question. Perhaps because the weather is not too warm, or perhaps because of the lack of snow. It's a joke, of course, but we are so used to spending New Year's holidays with snow and a mandatory Christmas tree that palm trees in the company of exotic fruits can deprive us of the feeling of a holiday.
Winter is coming soon. Cold and grey. Every day, due to the lack of sun and heat, you are more and more overcome by fatigue and depression. What to do? The best option to cheer yourself up is a trip to the gentle sea. Book your holiday in January, book a tour to Sharm el-Sheikh and relax in anticipation of an amazing holiday. Why Egypt? Firstly, among exotic countries - this is the most a budget option, secondly, “no visa required”, and thirdly, this is where you will find the best sea in the world. Hurry up to find out more about what awaits you in Sharm in January. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Please note that the weather in Sharm depends on where you live. There are four fabulous resorts along the coast here: Sharks Bay, Nabq Bay, Naama Bay and Om El Seid Hil. At Nabq Bay and Shark Bay cooler and windier than, for example, in the bay Ras um el sid, cozy and well located between the bays Naama Bay and Sharm El Maya.

Sea
The city has 35 km coastline with shallow lagoons, rocky coves and luxurious coral reefs. The beaches are well maintained and sandy. Entering the sea can be painful due to dead corals. Think about the right shoes. The water in the Red Sea is clear and turquoise. Rivers do not flow into the sea and there is no silt at all. Undersea world unique. Even walking along the coast in shallow water, you will see a lot of colorful fish scurrying between your legs. Most interesting inhabitants Red Sea →

During the day, the water temperature is almost the same as the air temperature - about 22-23 ° C. Sharm el-Sheikh is a paradise for and thanks to a wide range of attractions and warm sea.
Even if you are planning a vacation in Nabq Bay or Sharks Bay, the wind will not interfere with swimming. The water is warmer than on the shore. Bring a large warm towel with you to keep warm when you get out of the water.
The sea in these areas can sometimes be rough in January. On such unlucky days, you will see a red flag on the beach, which means swimming is prohibited. The tides are not pronounced. Hotels on the first coastline have pontoons to make it convenient to enter the water. From the wind in open places on the beaches there are barriers.
Most hotels have heated pools. When buying a ticket, read reviews about your hotel to make sure that the pool is actually heated.
Feedback from a Muscovite:
“We were in Sharm in January 2017. We went in fur coats and boots. Scored warm clothes, still January. Not useful. The hotel is located in the bay. There were no winds at all. In addition to a long-sleeved blouse and jeans, nothing warmer was needed. The sea is just a miracle, not to be compared with either the Mediterranean or the Black.

Hotels, prices
For Egypt - January is not considered high season, because the prices for 2018 are quite adequate: 30,000 - 50,000 rubles for a week of rest together. The flight is not tiring, 4-5 hours. Compared to April-May, prices are 25-35% lower. However, it is worth considering that the cost of the tour will increase significantly if you are planning or Christmas.

Feedback from Vadim:
“My favorite hotel in Egypt! You already feel like a VIP client: a helpful manager meets you in a business class car. The apartments are cozy, just great animation. There is a b / n entrance to the nightclub SOXO. And you need to see the sea yourself - a miracle.
Hotel Iberotel Palace 5* in El Maya will suit a wide range of tourists, it is convenient for diving. Those on a tight budget may consider a small Falcon Hills 3* in Ras um el sid.
Once in a hotel with an all inclusive system, you involuntarily lose your head. I want to try every dish, dizzy from the abundance of all kinds of delicacies, tourists try to try literally everything: exotic soups, gourmet main courses and breathtaking desserts, not taking into account that the body is not always ready for experiments. So that the rest is not overshadowed by stomach problems, do not overdo it with food and drinks -.

Natalia's review:
“We could not resist a trip to Israel. The Dead Sea was not impressive, we did not swim. It was raining. Cosmetics are very expensive. But Jerusalem turned out to be friendly. The old city is impressive. I left a note at the Wailing Wall. Can my wish come true?
Come to Sharm El Sheikh. Even in winter, it will welcome you warmly and delight you, regardless of whether you dream of seeing the pyramids or riding a camel through the desert.
