Is it a bad idea to go to Egypt in winter? I want to see most, if not all the major historic stuff.
I want to go at winter break because in summer I wouldn't be able to bear Egypt's heat, also I am 19 right now and before I turn 20 I can get Visa on arrival from Egypt.
Would any place be closed at winter? (probably in the middle of january, but can be anything from the start of january to middle of february). Would it be to wet/snowy to travel between cities? What should I expect?
Also, would going to Petra and then going to Egypt through the Red Sea make it a lot harder? Should I just go directly to Egypt or is crossng through Jordan a good idea?
Absolutely. I went to Egypt in February and the weather was really nice. Rarely too hot. The only hot stretch was a mini bus to Abu Simbel through the desert with no AC. Contrary to what you may think too, anywhere well south of Cairo, the Nile is very clean and you can actually drink the water right from the river. Take a felucca trip if you can. I recommend only a few days in Cairo, gtfo as quick as you can. I know nothing about traveling from Jordan.

how long does it take to get to luxor and from there to abu simbel from cairo? i am pondering whether going all that way would be worth it, considering i'd probably have to return to cairo to get bback home. also, is it really worth to see those places? I do want to see the historic stuff (that's why i go), but if it's just one temple, I can save myself the hassle.

Why doesn't anyone ever go to Alexandria it's full of Egypt milk?
