The gift[s] of the Nile River.The Greek historian, Herodotus, coined the phrase that Egypt was the gift of the Nile, in his An Account of Egypt: Being the Second Book of His Histories Called EuterpeHerodotus of Halicarnassus was a Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BC (c. 484 BC-c. 425 BC) and is regarded as the Father of History in Western culture.He is cited as writing - That of the Nile the river rises of itself, waters the fields, and then sinks back again - thereupon each man sows his field and waits for the harvest.

Two opposing trade winds generally govern the weather pattern: the north-westerly trades blow from October to March when wind speeds average from 8 to 12 knots; and the brisker south-easterly trades blow from May to September with winds of between 10 to 20 knots, bringing the cooler and windier conditions ideal for sailing.

The periods of calm between the trades produce fairly warm and wind-free conditions throughout April and also in October. Conditions for swimming, snorkelling and especially diving are superb during April/May and October/November when the water temperature sometimes reaches 29ºC and visibility is often 30 metres plus.
