Your 10 Days Christmas Tour Package – Cairo, Nile Cruise & Hurghada begins once you land in Cairo. Upon arrival, one of our representatives from Egypt Tours Group will greet you, assist with luggage, transfers, and hotel check-in — so you can simply relax after your flight.
Nile Dinner Cruise:
Experience a magical evening on the Nile. The city lights reflect on the calm waters, soft music fills the air, and you’ll savor a delicious dinner while watching live Egyptian entertainment. It’s a cozy and memorable way to start your Egyptian Christmas holiday and feel the festive spirit of Cairo.
Overnight at the hotel in Cairo.
Meals: Dinner
Day 2: Pyramids & The Grand Egyptian Museum
Your Egypt Christmas Holiday gets even better today — it’s finally time to visit the legendary Pyramids Complex, the place everyone dreams of seeing. After breakfast, meet your guide and start your tour to:
The Giza Pyramids Complex:
Once you arrive, they’re right there — massive, silent, and almost unreal. It’s hard to believe such wonders were built thousands of years ago without any modern machines.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu:
Standing beneath it is a completely different feeling. You look up and can barely see the top — stone over stone, perfectly aligned, a true masterpiece of ancient engineering.
The Great Sphinx:
Just beside the pyramids, the Sphinx gazes silently across the plateau. Its human face and lion’s body give it a mysterious beauty — you can almost imagine how magnificent it looked when newly built.
The Valley Temple:
A calm and fascinating place, cooler than outside. The smooth stones still feel powerful after all these centuries, reflecting the deep respect ancient Egyptians had for their kings.
Enjoy your lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant, then continue to visit:
The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM):
The last stop is something completely different — new, bright, and modern. Inside, you’ll see colossal statues and dazzling treasures. Tutankhamun’s golden mask gleams under the light, impossible to look away from.
As the sun sets, you’ll leave with memories that feel almost timeless — just like Egypt itself.
Overnight at the hotel in Cairo.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 3: Fly to Aswan – Visit Philae Temple & Unfinished Obelisk
Your Christmas Tour in Egypt takes a peaceful turn today as the group flies south to Aswan — a city that feels slower, warmer, and more serene than Cairo. Even the air smells different. After breakfast, your guide will accompany you to visit:
The High Dam:
The first stop is the Aswan High Dam. It’s not an ancient site, but it’s massive and quietly impressive. Your guide will explain how it changed Egypt forever — controlling the Nile and creating Lake Nasser. From the top, you can see the vast expanse of water glistening in the sunlight.
Philae Temple:
Next is one of the most beautiful places in all of Egypt — Philae Temple. You’ll reach it by a small motorboat gliding across calm waters surrounded by birdsong. The temple feels like a dream; every wall is covered in detailed carvings of gods and kings. It’s incredible to think that this entire temple was moved stone by stone to save it from flooding.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
A short stop at the Unfinished Obelisk — just one piece of stone, yet so huge you can easily imagine how magnificent it would have looked if completed. It’s a clear reminder of the precision and skill of ancient Egyptian craftsmen.
Enjoy your lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant.
Afterwards, it’s time to check into your Nile Cruise. As the boat glides gently on the river, everything feels calm — the sound of the water, the sunset colors, and the soft evening breeze. Dinner is served on deck while you relax and watch the city lights of Aswan reflecting on the Nile.
Overnight on board.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 4: Explore Abu Simbel Temples
As part of your 10 Days Cairo, Nile Cruise & Hurghada Christmas Tour Package, today’s program takes you on a remarkable journey to one of Egypt’s greatest architectural treasures — the temples of Abu Simbel. Enjoy breakfast on board, then set off to visit:
Abu Simbel Temples:
The twin temples of Abu Simbel stand as a breathtaking testament to the glory of Ancient Egypt. Carved directly into the cliffs over 3,000 years ago, they were dedicated to Ramses II and his beloved queen, Nefertari. The colossal statues guarding the entrance rise nearly 20 meters high, while the intricate carvings inside tell stories of divine battles, royal power, and eternal love.
After exploring these magnificent temples and taking in their unforgettable atmosphere, return to your cruise in Aswan with lasting memories of one of Egypt’s most awe-inspiring landmarks. Lunch will be served on board during the journey back.
Dinner will be served on board in the evening as you relax and unwind.
Overnight on board.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 5: Visit Kom Ombo & Edfu
The fifth day of your New Year Holiday in Egypt takes you on a peaceful sail down the Nile. Enjoy breakfast served on board, then follow your guide to visit:
Kom Ombo Temple:
This riverside temple is one of ancient Egypt’s most fascinating treasures. It was uniquely dedicated to two gods — Sobek, the crocodile god of strength and fertility, and Horus the Elder, the protector of kings.
Edfu Temple:
Sailing onward to Edfu, you’ll explore one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, every wall tells stories of his legendary battles against the forces of evil.
As the cruise continues, enjoy your lunch and relax on deck while admiring the quiet beauty of the Nile — the same river that carried pharaohs, priests, and timeless stories for thousands of years.
Dinner will be served on board in the evening.
Overnight on board.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 6: Exploring Luxor’s Timeless Wonders
Your Egypt Christmas Tour Package continues today with an unforgettable tour in Luxor — a city globally known as an open-air museum. Enjoy breakfast on board and check out, then head with your guide to visit:
Karnak Temple:
This vast complex is one of the most extraordinary sites in Egypt. Built over more than 2,000 years, Karnak was the heart of ancient Thebes’ religious life. The Hypostyle Hall, with its towering pillars covered in hieroglyphs, is truly breathtaking — a masterpiece that reflects the power and devotion of Egypt’s ancient builders.
The Valley of the Kings:
Hidden among the desert cliffs, this royal burial ground holds the tombs of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. The colors and carvings inside these tombs remain vivid after thousands of years, telling stories of the afterlife and the gods who guided the kings on their journey beyond.
Queen Hatshepsut Temple:
Rising from the desert in harmony with the surrounding cliffs, this temple was dedicated to one of Egypt’s most remarkable rulers, Queen Hatshepsut. Its terraces, ramps, and columns reflect both elegance and strength — just like the queen herself.
Colossi of Memnon:
Before leaving Luxor, you’ll stop at the Colossi of Memnon — two massive statues that once guarded a grand temple now lost to time. They still stand proudly against the backdrop of the Nile Valley, a silent reminder of ancient glory.
Enjoy lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant before continuing your journey.
As the sun sets, you’ll travel to Hurghada, ready to relax by the Red Sea after a day filled with ancient wonders and unforgettable memories.
Overnight at the hotel in Hurghada.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 7: Snorkeling Adventure in Hurghada
After days surrounded by ancient temples and desert landscapes, your journey takes a refreshing turn with one of the most relaxing Christmas tours in Egypt, enjoying the sparkling waters of the Red Sea. Have breakfast, then get ready for:
Snorkeling in Hurghada:
Your day begins with a scenic boat trip into the deep blue, where you’ll discover why the Red Sea is considered one of the best snorkeling destinations in the world. Beneath the surface, colorful coral reefs stretch for miles, teeming with exotic fish and sea creatures that shimmer like living jewels. The water is so clear that every movement feels like floating through glass.
Whether it’s your first time or you’re an experienced swimmer, the warm sun, gentle waves, and calm sea make this an unforgettable experience. After your adventure, relax on deck, enjoy a delicious lunch, and soak up the sunshine before heading back to your hotel. It’s the perfect balance of excitement and peace — a beautiful reminder of Egypt’s natural charm beyond its ancient wonders.
Overnight at the hotel in Hurghada.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner + Soft Drinks
Day 8: Desert Safari in Hurghada
Today’s part of your Egypt Christmas Vacation is all about fun, freedom, and a touch of wild adventure. Enjoy breakfast, then get ready for:
Desert Safari:
The adventure begins with an exciting quad bike ride across the soft desert dunes, feeling the cool wind rush past as you speed through endless waves of golden sand. The landscape feels magical — quiet, vast, and glowing under the afternoon sun. Every turn offers a new breathtaking view of the endless horizon.
After the ride, you’ll visit a Bedouin village where you can enjoy a cup of sweet tea and learn about their simple desert lifestyle. As the sun sets, the sky turns into beautiful shades of pink and orange — the perfect moment for photos and calm reflection. The evening ends with a traditional barbecue dinner, live music, and perhaps even a bit of dancing under the stars.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization:

Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque:
Next, visit Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in Africa. It’s peaceful and simple, with sunlight softly filtering through its arches — you can almost feel centuries of history within its walls.
The Hanging Church:
