Amazing Egyptian vacation! We did an 11 day private tour of Cairo, cruise on the Nile between Aswan and Luxor and a 4 day stay in Hurghada. The guided tours were very interesting, with extremely knowledgeable guides, attentive and helpful.

- December to FebruaryCool days and cold nights in the south, so pack a jacket. Hotels and cruises fill up around Christmas and New Year.
- March and AprilWarm and pleasant. Spring winds can raise dust for a day or two.
- May to SeptemberHot in Luxor and Aswan. Start sightseeing at sunrise and rest at midday. Sites are usually quieter.
Ramadan moves with the lunar calendar. Opening hours and meal times can change during the month, so check the dates for your travel year before you book. New Year is a peak week. Book hotels and cruises early.
Choosing your route
Most packages connect Cairo with Luxor and Aswan. Each card shows how you travel between cities, by flight or by overnight train.

- Sleeper train
- Overnight, saves a hotel night
- Pace
- One move every two to three nights
- Nights
- Shown on every card
- FlightsThe fastest way south. You arrive rested and have more time at the sites.
- Sleeper trainA classic overnight journey that saves a hotel night. Expect a simple compartment, not a hotel room.
- How many nightsCompare the nights in each city shown on every card. More nights in a city mean more time at its sites.
- Add a cruise or the Red SeaA Nile cruise replaces hotel nights in Luxor and Aswan. The Red Sea adds beach days at the end.
Every card shows nights in each place and how you travel between cities, so you can compare packages side by side.

Egypt New Year Tours questions, answered
Can't find your answer? Ask us directly and we will reply with a clear answer, not a sales pitch.
Ask on WhatsAppWhere will I be on New Year's Eve?
It depends on the itinerary. On the New Year Nile Cruise you spend the night on board between Luxor and Aswan, with full board. On the Cairo and Luxor tour the night train brings you back to Cairo in time to see the year out by the Nile. Tell us your arrival date and we place the night where you want it.
How many days are the New Year tours?
The 3 itineraries run 5 to 10 days. The shortest is cruise only, from arrival in Luxor to departure from Aswan; the eight-day tour adds Cairo, the Pyramids, Luxor and Abu Simbel; the ten-day holiday gives the most time in each place. Extra nights in Cairo can be added to any of them.
How much do Egypt New Year tours cost?
Prices on this page are $1,050 to $2,450 per person for the holiday dates, including hotels or the cruise ship, private transfers, an Egyptologist guide, entrance fees and the domestic flights or sleeper train the itinerary uses. International flights are not included. Your quote confirms the final price before you decide.
Does the five-day New Year Nile cruise include Cairo?
No. It runs from Luxor to Aswan only: four nights on the ship with full board, an English-speaking Egyptologist on every visit, the temples of Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan, the Philae motorboat and the Edfu carriage, with transfers from Luxor airport or station. Cairo days can be added before or after.
How do I travel between Cairo and Luxor on the eight-day tour?
By the overnight sleeper train, two nights in all, with dinner and breakfast on board and the fare included in the price. You sleep on the way south to Luxor and again on the way back to Cairo, which saves two hotel nights. Abu Simbel is reached from Aswan by private car.
What is the weather like in Egypt at New Year?
Winter in Egypt means sunny, mild days for sightseeing and cool evenings, especially on the deck of a Nile cruise ship after dark and at the pyramids at night. Pack a warm layer for New Year's Eve and early-morning departures; daytime visits to the temples need only light clothing and sun protection.
Tell us your dates and we will send a clear price
Share when you travel, how many of you there are and what you want to see. You will get a day-by-day itinerary with the price per person in US dollars.
