Is it HOT in Egypt? You bet. But not as bad as you might think. It looks like October/November are the best bets for temperatures, because the temperatures have moderated :-)

The North Coast and Delta regions of Egypt, which includes the cities of
Cairo and Alexandria, are influenced by the Mediterranean climatic zone.
A subtropical climate controls the rest of Egypt.
The climate can be summarized as mild, with temperatures increasing as you travel further south. This means that Cairo can be chilly from December to February, and very hot from June to September, though the heat is often relieved by a northerly breeze. At night there can be a noticeable drop in temperature. Peak temperatures in upper Egypt, which cover the months May to October can soar to well over 100ºF. However Egypt's high temperatures are usually compensated by extremely low humidity. Rainfall is minimal throughout the year.
