The climate of Sakkara (Egypt)
Sakkara is located in the middle of the desert in the vicinity of
Memphis. Sakkara is the site with the oldest pyramids in Egyptian
history; Pharaoh Djoser’s pyramid. This Pharaoh was one of the first
pharaoh’s that ordered a pyramid to be built as a final resting place.
This pyramid has a typical shape and has wide steps which rise up to
form a triangular shape. Later on 16 other pharaohs had their tombs
built on this site. Sakkara has a desert climate. During the day
temperatures can be warm to hot. However, temperatures may drop up to
20 degrees at night. Warm winds and sand storms may occur during
spring because of the rising temperatures. During these storms
temperatures may rise to unpleasant levels. Rainfall is very rare in
Sakkara and hardly ever occurs.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
