What do we mean for Egypt’s Mysteries?

Egypt is undoubtedly the most populous Arab nation in Africa. It is located in the desert and is divided into two parts from south to north by the Nile, the largest river in the world. The presence of the Nile greatly influences the climate in Egypt. The unique weather phenomena indeed is a sign of mysteries itself.

On the western side of the Nile lies the arid Libyan Desert, while on the eastern side, we find the Arabian Desert. The Nile helps to moderate the extreme temperatures of the vast desert, and the majority of Egypt’s population is concentrated along the fertile banks of the Nile. The river eventually forms a delta that extends over 220 km into the Mediterranean Sea in the north of Egypt.

The Nile Delta begins to stretch from Cairo, which is situated approximately 150 km from the Mediterranean Sea, and it represents one of the most fertile and prosperous regions in Egypt. Satellite photos clearly show the Nile Delta as a large expanse of dark green contrasting with the pale yellow color of the desert.

The region encompassing the Nile delta and the Mediterranean coastline of Egypt experiences a temperate climate due to the influence of the sea. You won’t need to carry an umbrella in Egypt as it falls within the Saharan desert climate type. The country has only two seasons: a mild winter from November to April, during which there is limited annual precipitation, and a hot and arid period from May to October.

During April, frequent episodes of sirocco, a hot and dry wind from the southeast, occur. The temperature can rise over 10°C in just a couple of hours, and the atmosphere takes on an orange hue due to the presence of sand. Sirocco winds can reach speeds of over 140 km/h and may be accompanied by violent thunderstorms. This weather pattern lasts for around 50 days before the onset of the hot and arid summer months. If you have respiratory problems, asthma, or young children, it is advisable to avoid this time of year.
