By early July, the sea in Hurghada is already around 29°C and nights are getting hot, though wind can still change how it feels. For trips such as Luxor, travelers recommend lightweight cotton long sleeves, drinking water, a light layer for the air-conditioned bus, and a travel pillow.
What the community said
For summer day trips from Hurghada, including Luxor, lightweight cotton clothing with long sleeves is recommended: Hurghada can be windy while Luxor often feels much hotter. Bring drinking water, a travel pillow, and a light sweater because tour buses usually run strong air conditioning.

By late June, the sea in Hurghada is warming to about 29°C: if it felt too cold a couple of weeks earlier, it is now much easier to swim in. Nights are also getting noticeably hotter, so this is already proper summer beach weather.

Weather in Hurghada has become less predictable in recent seasons, so it is better to check a current forecast before your trip rather than relying only on usual seasonal averages. Locals note that winters can be milder and the shift into peak summer heat may come later or earlier than expected.
