When winter is in full swing in Romania, Egypt becomes one of the most inspired choices for tourists who want to escape to the sun. In January, temperatures in resorts like Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, or Marsa Alam reach 22–26°C during the day, warm enough for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxation. The breeze is pleasant, the sun shines most of the day, and the Red Sea remains warm and perfect for snorkeling.

Besides the weather, Egypt is known for the best value for money during the winter months. All-inclusive hotels are accessible, the beaches are less crowded, and the atmosphere is relaxed and ideal for a vacation as a couple, with family, or with friends. It is the destination where you find real summer just a few hours away by plane.
