I'm planning to travel to Cairo, Luxor and Aswan (one week in each location) February 25-March 18. Can anyone tell me what the climate is like during this time; i.e. daytime and night time temps and also what kind of clothing to bring. I've heard about the desert winds in March and April and that has me a little concerned. I appreciate anyone's advice.

In Cairo, and along the Nile River Valley, the climate is a desert climate , but often with high humidity due to the river valley's effects. Wind storms can be frequent, bringing Saharan dust into the city during the months of March and April. High temperatures in winter range from 13°C to 19°C, while night-time lows drop to below 8°C, often to 5°C. In summer, the highs rarely surpass 40°C, and lows drop to about 20°C. Rainfall is sparse, but sudden showers do cause harsh flooding. In New Cairo, the temperatures often drop below zero during winter. New Cairo's weather is generally cooler than that of Cairo due to its higher altitude.

My experience over a neatly arranged and well-provisioned Honeymoon bed breakfast was interesting.
