Rain, sun and wind
Rain is rare — a few days a year at most, usually in winter. Expect long sunny days year-round. Wind is common, especially in the afternoon, which can make boat trips choppier and keeps the hottest days feeling a little cooler.
What to pack
- Summer: light, loose clothes, a hat, sunglasses and high-factor sun cream
- Winter: T-shirts for the day plus a warm layer for evenings, boats and the desert
- All year: swimwear, a rash vest or T-shirt for snorkeling, and closed shoes for safaris
