THE WEATHER
For all of you travelling in the Sinai Peninsula the weather will be the least of your worries. In spite of meteorological conditions in other parts of our world (e.g. Europe) the weather over the main part of the Sinai Peninsula stays good and clear all year round. Iin the coldest month of the year the coast will be warmer and the sun will shine longer hours than in the hottest days of summer in Sweden or England...
This being said, an open water course done in December will sound as normal as any other option. But, if the sun is shining (over the summer, burning) all year round, there are regions where snow is a possibility and temperatures in the desert will drop towards freezing in winter...
Below you can follow the estimated temperatures for Sinai with the footnote that they will stay close to those listed.
