Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in NL as well as at Cairo, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

The year in Cairo

Cairo generally experiences dry weather year-round. The peak period is busy, so advance bookings are recommended, especially during the holiday season.

Busiest	mid Dec to mid Jan — Mild weather attracts tourists during the holiday season. early Mar to mid May — Pleasant temperatures and low rainfall make this a popular time.
Quieter, still good	early Nov to late Nov — Transition period before the holiday rush with moderate temperatures. mid Sep to late Oct — Cooling temperatures after the summer heat lead to fewer crowds.
Watch out for	extreme heat

This section was written by a language model from the climate figures above, and nobody has checked it. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe. The busiest and quieter periods here also count toward the crowd score, which is 20% of the ranking.
