A comparison of 155 cities in Egypt by VanSky score — how comfortable it is to travel in each today. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea. Sort by any metric and pick your next stop. A comparison of 27 regions of Egypt by VanSky score — where it's most comfortable to travel right now. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea.

The country score (0–100) is computed from all of its cities, not a single point. Cities are grouped into regions, and a region's score is the median of its cities so dense clusters don't outweigh sparse ones. Final score = 0.65 × “best areas” (80th percentile of regions) + 0.35 × “typical conditions” (median of regions), so one warm city can't push the whole country to 100. Each city's score blends warmth (feels-like), sun, rain and wind, adjusted for night temperature and, on the coast, the sea. Data: Open-Meteo, refreshed several times a day.

The scale above shows what share of the country's cities falls into each comfort band. “Best spot” is the most comfortable region or city this week; “typical conditions” is the median score across regions.

VanSky Index

A weather comfort index for travel: a 0–100 score. Recalculated daily from live weather data — temperature, rainfall, wind and sun.

80–100 Ideal
60–79 Comfortable
40–59 Acceptable
20–39 Challenging
0–19 Extreme

How it's calculated:

  • Thermal comfort 35% — temperature + humidity
  • Sunshine 25% — panel charge, mood; in heat the sun is no longer a bonus
  • Precipitation 25% — rain → muddy ground
  • Wind 15% — awning, driving, noise
  • Extremes override all: frost, heat, storm, downpour
  • Heat counts by feels-like temperature: at 32°+ the score can’t reach “Comfortable”, muggy nights lower it further
  • A dangerous day drags the week down: a storm or downpour in the forecast keeps the week from being “Comfortable”
  • Bonus: warm sea, high panel output

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best city in Egypt for van life?
Sort cities by the VanSky column — the higher the score, the more comfortable today. Also check solar panel output and sea temperature if you plan to stay near the coast.
What does the VanSky score mean for a city?
A score from 0 to 100 reflects a composite weather assessment: thermal comfort, precipitation level, wind strength, and sunshine. 80+ is ideal, 60–79 is comfortable, 40–59 is acceptable, below 40 is challenging.
How often is data updated for Egypt?
Weather data for all cities in Egypt is updated several times a day from the Open-Meteo service based on real observations.

Camping in Egypt: Permit Requirements and Costs

Camping in Egypt's natural reserves requires a permit from the Environmental Affairs Agency, and entrance fees double after sunset. Some reserves, like Wadi El Rayan, have a separate camping fee: 50 Egyptian pounds for Egyptians and 200 for foreigners. Permits can be obtained through the 'Egypt Reserves' app or the agency's website, and for individuals, it's easier to book through licensed operators.

Egypt tourism official calls caravanning a golden opportunity for the country

Dr. Atef Abdel Latif, head of the Travel and Tourism Association, stated that caravanning is one of the fastest-growing segments of global tourism. He noted that the global market for motorhomes and caravans reached $51.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $75 billion by 2034. Egypt, with its developed infrastructure and unique natural assets, could become a regional hub for this type of tourism, provided that equipped campsites and a clear regulatory framework are established.
