What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Egypt
- Egypt Treasures (Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Felucca sailing ,black &white desert safari) with Domestic flight
It was an amazing trip made by AB voyages , I would recommend this trip to everyone. They have an amazing tour packed with fun adventure and memories of a lifetime. It’s 12 days of stunning activities , amazing food and unique experiences that have been incredible. I struggle to pick highlights because the whole trip is so good it’s hard to put one thing above another but if I had to I would probably say Abu simbel tour and the Sun rise Hot air balloon ride in Luxor.
- History & Civilization Egypt 7 days (Cairo-Aswan-Nile Cruise-Luxor)

What our customers ask about Christmas & New Year Tours in Egypt
What weather can I expect during Christmas and New Year in Egypt?
Egypt's winter months provide comfortable temperatures for exploring. Cairo stays mild at 20-22°C (68-72°F) while Luxor and Aswan run slightly warmer at 24-26°C (75-79°F). The cooler temperatures make visiting outdoor sites like pyramids and temples more enjoyable than during the hot summer months. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Our Christmas tour had perfect weather - warm enough during the day for comfortable sightseeing at the Valley of the Kings but cool enough in the evenings for festive celebrations on the Nile cruise deck."
How early should I book a Christmas and New Year tour to Egypt?
Plan to book Egypt holiday tours 6-8 months before your trip. December sees peak demand with 110-125 monthly bookings for premium tours on TourRadar. Top accommodations including the Steigenberger El Tahrir and Nile cruise ships fill up fast during this period. A TourRadar traveler advised: "Book early for Christmas season - we secured our spot 8 months ahead and got the best room category on MS Sonesta Moon cruise ship."
What special inclusions can I expect on Christmas and New Year tours?
Holiday tours feature gala dinners at places like the Marriott Mena House or onboard ships like MS Nile Acamar. Many operators arrange Christmas Eve dinners in Nubian villages or New Year's celebrations near the pyramids. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our guide Saladino arranged a magical Christmas dinner overlooking the Nile complete with traditional Egyptian entertainment and special holiday menus. The New Year's celebration at the Mena House Hotel with views of the illuminated pyramids was unforgettable."
What additional costs should I budget for during Christmas and New Year tours?
Budget around 125 USD for entrance fees 60 USD for tips and extra for optional activities. The Abu Simbel tour costs about 125 USD while hot air balloon rides run 130 USD. Holiday gala dinners at luxury hotels add 100-150 USD per person. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The Christmas gala dinner at Steigenberger Hotel was worth the extra cost - amazing food entertainment and a fantastic atmosphere."
What kind of crowds can I expect during Christmas and New Year?
December brings peak crowds with TourRadar tours averaging 110 bookings. Major sites like the Pyramids and Valley of the Kings get busy. Early morning visits help avoid the largest crowds. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Despite the holiday crowds our guide Mahmoud arranged our visits perfectly starting early at the Valley of the Kings to avoid the peak hours during the festive season."
What kind of accommodation can I expect on a Christmas & New Year tour in Egypt?
Tours typically include stays at luxury properties like the Fairmont Nile City in Cairo and 5-star cruise ships such as the Movenpick Royal Lily. Most itineraries split 3-4 nights between Cairo hotels the Nile cruise and stops in Luxor or Aswan at places like the Sofitel Winter Palace. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The Steigenberger El Tahrir hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the New Year's gala dinner was spectacular."
