Spend Christmas in Egypt to enjoy Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and an exciting Nile cruise. The "Merry Christmas and Great New Year Special With Egypt Tours" tour is put up by Happy Egypt for those who want to cherish the holidays while exploring the beauty of real Egypt. You don't actually have to move a finger from the time you touch down in the country-onwards; flights, the hotels, visits at entrance tickets, guides, and moving from or to locations will be pre-organized.
Cairo is our first stop, where the museum, in which you will imbibe the history of Egypt, the pyramids, and the Sphinx, awaits you before you fly to Luxor to start cruising. Spending Christmas on the Nile is an experience all by itself. Ours is a trip called Cairo Nile Cruise Vacation Over Christmas, where you will taste the warm winter sun and serenity of nature on the river while visiting temples along your way.
Of course, while in Luxor, you will have the opportunity to visit some of the best highlights of ancient Egypt, including Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and the Valley of the Kings. The following are stops at Edfu Temple and Kom Ombo Temple, both nestled close to the Nile on the cruise towards Aswan.
The gesture is fairly reasonable to go for: this Christmas, you will have to spend it wandering around the place, aside from relaxation. And if you decide to stay until the very new year, you'd better get set to join the kickoff practices of New Year Eve Cairo, where lights, music, and joy fill the atmosphere much more than ever.
Come join us to spend the Christmas holidays in Egypt in a nice, comfortable, and unforgettable adventure. The chance of an excellent blend of culture, history, and celebration-with all the warmth and value during this festival season-is brought exactly by the mentioned tour.
