Experience the magic of Christmas in Egypt with a masterfully planned and structured 8-Day trip that comes complete with an amazing Nile River cruise. Enjoy Egyptologist-guided tours; 5-Star accommodation and unrivaled customer service every step of the way.

* Nile Cruises

You can skip the hotels, spend your days exploring and your nights on one of the many Nile cruises waiting to take you from Aswan to Luxor or vice versa.

Taking a cruise on the Nile is a time-honoured way to explore Egypt. For centuries, travelers have sailed stretches of the world’s longest river, finding the unexpected sights of river life every bit as thrilling as the tombs and temples on the schedule.

*Saint Catherine

What could be better than starting your new year with a challenge? Head to Sinai to climb Egypt’s highest mountain: Mount Catherine which stands at 2,645 meters above sea level. If you make it up there you are in for spectacular views and a rare moment of reverence.

Watch the sunrise on top of the mountain. This means you will climb at night so dress warmly, pack a blanket; it’s freezing on the summit

Spend a couple of nights at one of the eco-lodges in the mountain, or hike the less challenging Mount Moussa. Take a day to explore Saint Catherine's Monastery and the nearby town in South Sinai.

*Fayoum Tunis village

If you want a simple, relaxing vacation with stunning views of Lake Qarun and the countryside, this is your destination.

The small village is mostly inhabited by artists and writers. You walk through the village and all you can see are small art galleries and pottery workshops, with the loveliest array of serving plates, dishes, cups, mirrors and more on display, each piece finely drawn and crafted by hand.

The air is clean and the atmosphere very quiet, serene and just relaxing. Beyond the pottery you see green fields, farm animals and the beautiful lake. At night the sky is clear, hundreds of stars light your way and bats fly from tree to tree.

*Marsa Alam

If you want to experience Scuba ping in an exceptional touristic destination, then Marsa Alam is the place for you!

Marsa Alam has some of the finest beaches in the world and it’s one of the richest Red Sea destinations for coral reefs and marine wildlife. Unlike cities like Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, Marsa Alam’s beauty is still untouched by modernity, so it’s the place to be if you want to embrace simplicity and nature.

The city has the most remarkable ping and snorkeling spots in Egypt, a true haven for pers from all over the world. In Abu Dahab Beach for example, it’s pretty common to see turtles, crocodile fish, and octopus.
