Abstract EN

The climate is considered one of the most important natural aptitude for tourist attractions in South Sinai Governorate.

The research focused firstly on studying the most important climatic elements related to tourism activity, which include average temperature, solar brightness, relative humidity, wind velocity, and finally precipitation amount and its spatially and temporally variations.

The second part of this paper was devoted to quantitative measurement methods of the tourists physiological comfort, where the climograph came at the forefront of these measures to give a generalized overview of the weather, subsequently apply the temperature relative Humidity Index (THI) for "Thom" and "Nieuwolt" on the months of the year, and "Oliver" indicator to delimitation the comfort and discomfort times throughout the hours of the day.

In the end, the Tourism Climate Index (TCI) for "Mieczkowski" was applied, which is one of the most commonly equations for measuring the physiological comfort of tourists, especially in open areas during the day; that is at the time of peak tourism activities, and comparing the results of the last indicator with the seasonal percentage of tourist nights by nationality.
