Mild Season (October–April): This is the best time to visit, with pleasant temperatures perfect for exploring the Pyramids, Sphinx, and nearby attractions. December and January are the busiest months, with high tourist numbers and expensive accommodations, especially around the holidays. October, November, March, and April offer great weather with fewer crowds, making them ideal months for sightseeing. March and April may experience occasional sandstorms (Khamsin winds), but they are still manageable for travel.:

Hot Season (May–September): Giza experiences intense heat, with daytime temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F) in June, July, and August. Sightseeing becomes challenging, but early morning and late afternoon visits are possible. July and August are the quietest and most budget-friendly months, as fewer tourists visit due to the extreme heat. May and September offer slightly cooler conditions than peak summer but are still quite warm.:
