Averages for Sharm El Sheikh in November

Sharm el-Sheikh will see cooler temperatures for the first time in months with the arrival of November, the first official month of winter.

That said, the daily average high temperature is still 82.4°F (28.0°C), plenty warm enough for those who want to enjoy the long stretches of beautiful and relatively untouched beaches that line the coastal areas of the city.

The city is still abuzz with summer-like activity including parasailing and scuba diving. There is really never a bad time of year to take advantage of the diving opportunities that the Red Sea provides since it is clear and warm all year long. The average sea temperature in November is 75.2°F (24°C).

The average low temperature is 65.5°F (18.6°C). This occurs during the night time hours. Some visitors report that it feels cold compared to the warmer temperature during the day but some people welcome this cooler period! Particularly those who enjoy the extensive nightlife of the Sharm el-Sheikh’s bars, clubs and discos and those who are out for night time dining, excursions and shopping.

There is an average of 0” (0 mm) of precipitation. There is an average of 1 to 2 days of precipitation per month, although it is negligible, since most measurement devices and charts do not even consider rainfall that is less than 0.01”.

There is an average of 270 hours of sunlight, with days averaging about 9 hours of sunlight. These days are admittedly shorter; however, the longer nights can provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy indoor activities.

There are a few theatres in Sharm el-Sheikh such as the Grand Galaxy within the Star Hotel which hosts dramatic performances throughout the year.

There is also a venue within the Grand Rotana hotel. This location hosts artistic performances such as dance, theatre and other types of entertainment.

Many tourists find the International Fishing Competition quite interesting. This event is similar to one that is held earlier in the year and sees tourists and competitors from all over the world flock to the banks of the Red Sea.

During the off season, it is sometimes possible to find “winter” deals at hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh. This is a delightful surprise for most people, since the late autumn is a beautiful time to visit the city anyway.

One resort which caters to those who would like a little of everything on their holiday is the Sultan Gardens Resort. In addition to typical resort amenities such as its own private beaches and live entertainment, it also has water sports and easy access to the buzzing nightlife of the city.
