usually doesn’t have a lot of rainfall. Rain occurs mostly
on the coastal regions. The wettest part of Egypt is around
Alexandria, but it receives only around two hundred
millimeters per year. Alexandria has quite high humidity but

Sinai is one of part of the desert that receives more
rainfall than other desert parts of Egypt.
There are some regions of Egypt that may have only sunny
weather for years without a drop of rain and at once, the
weather may change to downpours which bring it to flash
floods.

warm and sometimes quite cold.
