Egypt experiences a variety of wind patterns throughout the year, but the dominant wind direction is from the north for most of the year. This is due to the prevailing northerly winds that are part of the Northeast Trade Winds system.

Here's a breakdown of the wind patterns:

* Northern Winds: These winds, blowing from the Mediterranean Sea, are most prominent during the summer months (June to September) and bring cooler and drier air. They can be strong, especially in the coastal areas.

* Southern Winds: These winds, blowing from the Sahara Desert, are more common during the winter months (December to March) and can carry dust and sand, creating dust storms and hazy conditions.

* Local Winds: Local wind patterns also exist, like the Khamsin, which is a hot, dry wind blowing from the south during the spring, and can cause significant sandstorms.

Therefore, while the prevailing winds in Egypt blow from the north, there are variations depending on the time of year and specific location.
