- Day 1: A Fascinating Journey Through the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids
As soon as your feet touch Cairo International Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the Egypt Online Tour team. A representative will be waiting for you holding a sign that says “Egypt Online Tour” so you can easily spot him.
When you arrive at your hotel in Cairo, you’ll be greeted with a friendly welcome drink, giving you a feeling of care and warmth, especially as you begin your 7 Days Cairo and Sharm El Shiekh Christmas Tour.
The hotel provides a cozy stay, a clean bed, and daily breakfast so you’ll have plenty of energy for the next day.
Your evening in Cairo is the perfect start to this Christmas journey.
You can spend it however you like: if you’re in the mood to explore, we suggest a short evening outing like the Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids as an optional activity.
Nile Dinner Cruise
In the evening, we’ll end the day in the most magical way — with a dinner cruise on the Nile River.
The boat will glide peacefully across the water under the moonlight and stars, while you enjoy a delicious meal accompanied by soft oriental music.
Combine your Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Vacation Packagewith a magical Nile Cruise for the ultimate Christmas escape.
- Day 2: The Magic Tour of the Egyptian Museum and Pyramids
After having breakfast at the hotel and getting ready, we will start the second day of the 7 Days Cairo and Sharm El Shiekh Christmas Tour with a trip that will make you feel the greatness of ancient Egypt in every detail.
We will visit the two most important landmarks in Cairo: the Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids, which combine legendary history with breathtaking views.
The Egyptian Museum
Our first stop today is the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, a place that holds treasures you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
As soon as you step inside, you’ll feel like you’re passing through a time portal taking you back 5,000 years.
You’ll see statues of great kings like Ramses II, tools that ancient Egyptians used in daily life, and rare jewelry that shows how advanced they were in their crafts.
The highlight of the visit is the Tutankhamun collection, discovered in 1922; the golden mask, the throne, and the artifacts buried with him will leave you amazed by every single detail.
Lunch Time
After your tour of the museum, we’ll take a short break to enjoy lunch at a cozy local restaurant serving authentic Egyptian food.
Giza Pyramids
After finishing our tour of the Egyptian Museum and soaking in its magic, we’ll head to the Giza Plateau to witness the most iconic structures ever built in history: the three pyramids – Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.
From the very first moment you see them from afar, you’ll feel like you’re standing in front of a legendary scene unlike anything else.
And as you get closer to the Great Pyramid of Khufu, you’ll realize how genius the ancient Egyptians were; this pyramid was built more than 4,500 years ago and originally stood about 146 meters tall! It’s not just the largest pyramid in Egypt, it’s one of the last remaining wonders of the ancient world still standing today.
Next to Khufu, you’ll find Khafre’s Pyramid, which still retains part of its original limestone casing that once made the pyramids shine bright white under the sun.

The Great Sphinx
After exploring the pyramids and uncovering their secrets, our journey continues to one of the most iconic landmarks in Egypt: The Great Sphinx.
This massive statue has stood for thousands of years guarding the pyramids, with the face of King Khafre and the body of a lion, symbolizing strength and majesty in ancient Egyptian culture.
Stretching around 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height, it stands as one of the largest and most iconic carved statues ever created.
A question many visitors wonder about is, “What happened to its missing nose?”, Some stories say it was destroyed by cannon fire during Napoleon’s French campaign, while others believe natural desert winds and erosion are to blame.
To this day, the truth remains a mystery, adding to the statue’s mythical aura.

- Day 3: Traveling to Sharm El Sheikh and Starting the Sea Adventure
After waking up early and having breakfast at our hotel in Cairo, we’ll get ready to continue our adventure to our second destination, Sharm El Sheikh, the jewel of the Red Sea.
This transition makes you realize how diverse this trip is; one day in the heart of history and the next on crystal-clear beaches.
This day in the 7 Days Cairo and Sharm El Shiekh Christmas Tour marks the start of a whole new chapter filled with beaches, relaxation, and festive Christmas vibes in a completely different atmosphere.
Arrival to Sharm El Sheikh
As soon as we arrive at Sharm El Sheikh Airport, a representative from Egypt Online Tour will be there to greet us with an air-conditioned vehicle to make the transfer to the hotel smooth and easy.
Sharm El Sheikh during Christmas feels extra special; lights and decorations sparkle everywhere, and the mild winter weather makes it the perfect escape from the cold to enjoy the sun.
Once we reach the hotel, we’ll check into our rooms and relax for a while to prepare for the start of the sea activities.

First Night in Sharm
Evenings in Sharm El Sheikh have a magic of their own. After taking some rest at the hotel, you can head out for a stroll along the promenade or visit the Old Market area to experience the local life.
The shops are filled with handmade crafts and souvenirs, while the cafés and restaurants buzz with festive Christmas energy.
If you’d rather stay at the hotel, you can enjoy a cozy dinner by the sea or relax on an open terrace with natural views.
This night sets the perfect tone for the next day, which will be packed with marine activities like snorkeling and diving in the Red Sea’s stunning waters.

- Day 4: Moses Mountain and St. Catherine Experience
After having an early breakfast at the hotel and getting ready for a new day, our guide will arrive with an air‑conditioned vehicle to take us on one of the most breathtaking adventures in the 7 Days Cairo and Sharm El Shiekh Christmas Tour.
We’ll leave behind the refreshing Red Sea vibes of Sharm El Sheikh and head toward St. Catherine and Moses Mountain, about a three‑hour drive away.
This Christmas trip is one of our most popular Egypt tour packages, combining Cairo’s ancient wonders with the stunning beaches of Sharm El Sheikh.
Arrival to St. Catherine City
As you head toward St. Catherine, you’ll notice how the scenery shifts around you; tall mountains, wide desert valleys, and star‑filled skies create a feeling of entering a completely different adventure compared to the seaside vibe.
When we arrive, you’ll find the town calm and simple but rich in history, because it hosts St. Catherine’s Monastery, considered one of the world’s most ancient monastic sites.
Before starting the climb, we’ll take some time to prepare, packing water, light snacks, and wearing comfortable clothes fit for the trek.

Climbing Moses’ Mountain
The climb begins around 2:00 a.m. so we can reach the summit just in time for sunrise — one of those moments you’ll never forget.
The path up the mountain is made of natural stone trails surrounded by silence; you can only hear the wind and your own footsteps.
Along the way, there are small Bedouin rest stops where you can drink hot tea and recharge before continuing.
The view from the top is worth every step, as the sun rises over the mountains, you’ll feel a rare spiritual energy that stays with you forever.

This fifth day combines the deep history of St. Catherine’s Monastery with the serene beauty of Dahab on the Red Sea.
Even the road itself is an adventure, passing through valleys, rugged mountains, and coastal scenery that reveal Egypt’s breathtaking diversity.
Tour of St. Catherine’s Monastery
The first stop after descending the mountain is visiting St. Catherine’s Monastery, considered one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world.
The monastery stands out with its ancient stone walls and priceless treasures, including centuries‑old icons and rare manuscripts.
As you walk through the monastery’s courtyards, you’ll feel a strange calm and spiritual energy that makes you live in the moment without noticing time passing.

We’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant offering fresh seafood in a friendly Bedouin atmosphere, enjoying the clear blue waters of the sea as we eat.
