Alexandria Weather in November

Mild days by the sea

November feels comfortable for walking around Alexandria. Afternoons reach 25°C, while evenings cool to 17°C. It's much less hot than October, so you can explore the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa or stroll the Corniche without the summer heat. There's some rain, usually across three days, but showers needn't spoil a museum visit or lunch in the city.

The sea may feel too cool for a long swim, and this isn't the month to plan every day around the beach. You'll get about 10.4 hours of daylight, so leave time for the waterfront before evening.

A quieter month

November isn't known for a major annual holiday or festival in Alexandria. Event dates can change, so don't make a trip depend on a November celebration. The city's sights and cafés are still a good reason to visit.

If you hate crowds, November is a calmer choice than the busy summer holiday season. It's also outside the peak beach months, so accommodation can be less in demand than in summer. That said, don't expect every attraction to feel empty: Alexandria is a working city, and the Corniche stays lively with local life.

Make room for the Corniche

Travelling with kids? The milder weather makes a walk along the Corniche easier than in the sticky summer heat. Stop near Qaitbay Citadel to watch the water, then head to a café for a warm drink if the evening turns cool.

For a practical tip, give the Bibliotheca Alexandrina a place in your rainy-day plans. It's right on the waterfront, so you can pair its exhibitions and reading spaces with a Corniche stroll when the sky clears. Try a seafood meal near the harbour, too; Alexandria is known for its fresh catch.
