Day Tours Egypt

Updated November 2026

The best Egypt Christmas packages that include Cairo, Luxor and Aswan are the 6-day Cairo, Luxor and Aswan tour (from $1,390 per person), the 9-day Cairo and Nile Cruise tour (from $1,970) and the 8-day Cairo and Nile Cruise tour (from $2,190). The 6-day tour is the fastest, the 9-day tour is the lowest-priced cruise option, and the 8-day tour uses flights rather than overnight trains. All three are private and start in Cairo.

Package Days Nile cruise Between cities Nights From (per person) Best for
6 Days Cairo, Luxor and Aswan 6 No Flights 5 hotel nights $1,390 Seeing all three cities quickly
9 Days Cairo and Nile Cruise 9 Yes Sleeper train Hotel, cruise, 2 train nights $1,970 A cruise at a lower price
8 Days Cairo and Nile Cruise 8 Yes Flights 3 hotel, 4 cruise nights $2,190 Flights rather than overnight trains

Prices are based on a triple room and change with the hotel and room type.

If you only have time for Cairo and Luxor, the 5-Day Cairo and Luxor package includes a flight to Luxor.

How to Choose Between a Flight, a Sleeper Train and a Cruise

The difference between the packages is mostly how you travel:

  • Flights (6-day and 8-day): you spend less time on transport and more time at the sites.
  • Sleeper train (9-day): you travel overnight, which keeps the price lower.
  • Nile cruise (8-day and 9-day): you sleep on board while the ship sails, so you pack once and skip hotel changes.

What You See in Each City

Cairo

Every package begins with the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. The 9-day package also includes the Grand Egyptian Museum and its Tutankhamun collection, and the 8-day package visits Coptic and Islamic Cairo. Coptic Cairo is worth seeing at Christmas, because many Egyptians celebrate Christmas on January 7, following the Coptic Orthodox calendar.

Luxor

Luxor is where most of the temples and tombs are. Visits include Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Check each tour page for the sites included in your package.

Aswan

In Aswan you see Philae Temple, and on the cruise packages the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk. On the way, the cruise stops at Edfu Temple and Kom Ombo Temple.

Christmas Packages With Historical Sites and Relaxation

The Nile cruise packages mix both. Visits to temples such as Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae alternate with sailing and time on board. The daily schedule depends on the itinerary. You keep the same cabin, so you do not change hotels.

  • The 5-Day Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan covers only the river, with 4 nights full board.
  • The 8-day and 9-day packages add Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum before the cruise.

Before You Book

  • Weather: December is one of the most comfortable months for sightseeing in Egypt. Days are mild, evenings can be cool in Cairo, and Luxor and Aswan are usually warmer. Pack light layers and comfortable walking shoes.
  • Festive dinners: many hotels and Nile cruise ships hold special dinners during the holiday season. Ask us for your dates if a Christmas Eve dinner matters to you.
  • Booking early: Christmas and New Year are the busiest weeks, and hotels and cruise cabins can fill quickly.

Day Tours Egypt FAQ

Quick answers from Day Tours Egypt for travelers looking for the best tours in Egypt.

Which Christmas tour packages in Egypt include domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor?

The 5-day Cairo and Luxor package, the 6-day Cairo, Luxor and Aswan tour and the 8-day Cairo and Nile Cruise package include domestic flights. The 9-day package travels between cities by overnight sleeper train instead. The 5-day Nile cruise starts in Luxor, so it does not include flights.

 

What is the best itinerary for spending Christmas and New Year in Egypt?

For a Christmas and New Year trip that covers Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, choose the 8-day or 9-day Cairo and Nile Cruise package. You see the Pyramids of Giza first, then sail on a 5-star Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. If you prefer hotels to a cruise, the 6-day Cairo, Luxor and Aswan tour covers the same cities with domestic flights. Many hotels and Nile cruise ships hold special dinners during the holiday season, so tell us your dates and we will check what is available.

 

What should I look for when comparing Egypt Christmas tour packages?

Compare the number of days, the cities covered and whether a Nile cruise is included. Check how you travel between cities (flights or a sleeper train), and whether hotels, entrance fees, meals and a private guide are included. Prices on our pages are per person and based on a triple room, so they change with the hotel and room type.

 

Which Egypt Christmas packages combine Cairo sightseeing with a Nile cruise?

Our 8-day and 9-day Cairo and Nile Cruise packages combine Cairo sightseeing with a 5-star Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. The 8-day package uses domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor, and the 9-day package uses overnight sleeper trains. If you only want the cruise, choose the 5-day Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan.

Which Egypt Christmas holiday packages combine the Pyramids of Giza with a Nile cruise?

The 8-day and 9-day Cairo and Nile Cruise packages both start in Cairo, where you visit the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Both itineraries also include the Grand Egyptian Museum. You then travel to Luxor and continue by cruise to Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan.
