Egypt in the blog

We look at where the sea is still swimmable in November and where the trip becomes sightseeing instead. With water temperatures, flight times from Warsaw and indicative weekly prices in PLN.

In November the Red Sea is warmer than an unheated hotel pool, and Egypt flips from a beach country to a sightseeing one. Week-by-week temperatures, the three trip formats that work, what a week costs in PLN and what changed at the Grand Egyptian Museum.

October is the only month when both halves of Egypt work at once - the Red Sea still at 26-28C and Luxor down from July's furnace heat. Five bases compared on air, sea, flights from Warsaw and cost in PLN, plus what the 2026 visa changes actually mean.

In October the Mediterranean closes its season from north to south, while Egypt and the Canaries hit their peak and Dubai and the tropics open their winter sun. We break down where from Poland you can still definitely swim, where the water is best, and where it pays to wait — with prices, flight times, weather caveats and entry rules.

More and more people are choosing to travel solo — sometimes by choice, sometimes because their schedule never lined up with anyone else's. The real obstacle usually isn't loneliness — it's the single supplement, and the uncertainty of whether a resort full of couples will feel comfortable to be alone in. We break down destinations, ways to cut costs, safety, and a practical checklist for your first solo trip.

A week-by-week breakdown of how the heat eases through the month, why the Red Sea reaches its warmest point of the year just as the air becomes manageable, how Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh, Marsa Alam and Dahab genuinely differ, why Luxor and the Pyramids are the wrong plan this month, plus prices, reef safety and the 2026 visa changes.

September is the month for anyone not tied to the school calendar: resorts empty out, prices drop 25–35% versus August, and the sea across the Mediterranean holds the maximum warmth it built up all summer. A roundup of 14 destinations from Poland — from Turkey and Greece to the Maldives and Bali — with weather, prices, flights and entry rules, plus a list of places to avoid this month.
