January in Damietta, Egypt, brings average daily highs of 20°C and overnight lows of 11°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Pack clothes you can layer as conditions change. The average leaves room for both warmer and cooler days, so a flexible walking plan is more useful than deciding every outdoor stop before you arrive.
In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 3 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 8%. Rain has been relatively infrequent in this record, which leaves more scope for an outdoor plan. Still keep an alternative for a wet day: a low monthly average cannot tell you when the rain will arrive.
The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 10 hours. Sunshine averages 10 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.
For a culture-focused visit, group the places you want to see into manageable areas, with time between stops. Check each venue's opening dates before fixing the order. If food is a reason for the trip, leave time around meals rather than filling every gap with another journey. Check the places you choose for current opening hours.
The following month, February, has a similar average daily high of 20°C. Its historical rain-day chance is 9%, compared with 8% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
