Why September is a good month

  • Warm sea: ideal for snorkeling and diving.
  • Late season: calmer than August, with prices rising towards October (a trend, not quantified).
  • Back to school: fewer European families after the summer holidays.

Which trips to book

On the water in the morning, the desert only at sunset. Our first choice: the boat trip to Giftun Island and Orange Bay with snorkeling; compared in which boat trip to choose and snorkeling in Hurghada. Avoid long visits in full sun.

Where to stay

A hotel with sea access and a shaded pool matters more than in winter: see where to stay in Hurghada and house reef hotels. To compare neighbouring months: Hurghada in August, Hurghada in October and the sea temperature month by month.
