Method and limits
- The weather is the 1981 to 2010 average from the WMO World Weather Information Service. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority supplies the data. A given year can be hotter or colder.
- The Cairo station is at Cairo Airport, approximately 30 km from the pyramids. Giza can be slightly different.
- The searches are DataForSEO estimates for searches in English from the United States. They are not visitor numbers.
- We found no public monthly data for visitor numbers or hotel prices in Egypt. So the table has no crowd or price column.
- Islamic holidays move about 11 days earlier each year. The dates in the notes are expected dates for 2027.
