Fresh figs have one of the shortest, most concentrated seasons in fruit — a summer window when the fruit is at its sweet, fragile best. Dried figs, by contrast, ship every month from store. For importers, that means a premium summer airfreight opportunity plus continuous dried supply. This guide sets out the Egyptian figs export season and how to plan around it.
Quick answer: The Egyptian fresh fig season is the summer (roughly mid-summer into early autumn). Dried figs are processed and stored, shipping year-round. (Fresh figs run through summer into early autumn; exact windows shift year to year with weather.)

A short, sweet fresh window
Figs ripen in the summer heat, giving a concentrated fresh season. Because fresh figs are so perishable, this window is all about moving premium fruit quickly by air. Dried figs decouple supply from the season, shipping year-round from storage.
The Egyptian figs export calendar
| Period | Fresh figs | Dried figs |
|---|---|---|
| Summer (peak) | Fresh season, airfreight | Year-round from storage |
| Early autumn | Season tails off | New-crop drying |
| Rest of year | Out of fresh season | Year-round from storage |
Planning notes
- Fresh figs: target the summer window; plan airfreight and tight logistics for a very perishable fruit.
- Dried figs: order any month; new-crop quality is freshest after the summer drying.
- Premium fresh: book early — the fresh window is short.
