Luxor

Luxor (Egypt) has a hot arid desert climate with an annual average of around 26 °C. Daytime highs average 33 °C, while nights cool to about 19 °C. The destination sees roughly 3 mm of rainfall per year and 11.3 hours of sunshine per day on average.

Ancient Thebes — the temples of Karnak and Luxor on the east bank, the Valley of the Kings with Tutankhamun's tomb and the temple of Hatshepsut on the west bank.

With summer highs up to 41.5 °C in August, the heat is overwhelming for most travellers. Cooler and far more pleasant: January through spring — mild days and crisp starlit nights. Rainfall, at only 3 mm a year, is essentially a non-issue.

Note: with roughly 33 °C between the hottest and coldest month, picking the right time of year matters a lot here.
