Probably tropical weather is needed. In mango season (March-July), I feel blessed to be in India. Many varieties, my favorite being Alphonso: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonso_(mango)

We have Alphonso in Egypt, too! Though I prefer Eweis which is much sweeter.

I've heard most of the mango strains in Egypt originated in India and spread there during British rule.

In fact, we have Alphonso mangoes in the US on a seasonal basis. Add others have pointed out, they're likely not as good due to shipping constraints.
