3. Average Temperature in big Cities. |

The climate: ý
Egypt enjoys an ideally moderate climate, for the sun
shines most of the year ýon average of eight hours
daily. Rainy days are few, even in summer
ýý(June/August), for the north wind blowing from
Europe cools off the weather. ý
Although the climate of the desert areas of the
country is hot, the Nile valley ýretains its
well-balanced moderate climate throughout the year.
Old sources ýmention that many of the Egyptian cities
have been noted, since the ýPharaonic regions, for
their great importance form the wholesome and
ýtherapeutic point of view. The ancient Greek
scientists, founders of ýtherapeutics have referred in
their works to the importance of Egypt in this
ýrespect. Many of them recommended enjoying Egyptian
cities, their weather ýand sun and the advantage
lavished on it by nature. Herodotus mentioned ýthat
the reason for the sound health and well being of the
Egyptians is due to ýthe ever-shining sun of Egypt.ý
