Hurghada Weather in March — Everything You Need to Know
March is Hurghada's spring month — warming temperatures, excellent sea conditions, and the start of the outdoor-focused holiday season. A favourite for active travellers and divers.
March Weather
March temperatures rise noticeably: daytime highs of 26°C, nights at 17°C. The sea warms to 23°C. Sunshine extends to 11 hours per day. This is the last month before temperatures become truly hot — making it excellent for active holidays where you want warmth without exhaustion.
Wind picks up slightly in March — the northerly wind becomes more consistent and stronger, which is excellent news for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Boat trips are best booked for morning departures.
Best Activities in March
March is ideal for: everything. The temperature balance is perfect for combining beach, water sports, desert activities, and cultural exploration in equal measure. Specifically: Luxor day trips (26°C is very comfortable for walking extensive temple sites), diving (still excellent visibility before the summer plankton bloom), kitesurfing (wind picking up), and island snorkelling trips (sea warm enough for comfortable extended snorkelling).
March Half Term
UK March half term (typically last week of February into first week of March) is one of the busiest periods in Hurghada's calendar. Family hotels fill rapidly. Book family rooms and hotel aqua parks well in advance. The combination of school holidays and good weather creates the most competitive booking environment outside Christmas/New Year.
Easter in Hurghada

Hurghada is increasingly popular for Easter family holidays — the timing aligns with excellent weather, and the combination of beach, aqua parks, and boat trips makes it an easy sell for families. Book 3–4 months in advance for Easter week, particularly for family rooms.
