How Much Does a Trip to Egypt Cost in December ?

How Much Do Egypt Christmas Packages Cost?

Day Tours Egypt offers 7 private Christmas packages. Prices are per person, based on sharing a triple room (or triple cabin on the cruise), and change with your hotel and room type.

Why does the 8-day package cost more than the 9-day package? The 8-day package includes domestic flights, while the 9-day package travels by overnight sleeper train. With the same hotel and cruise option (Barceló Cairo Pyramids with the Sunrise Semiramis cruise), a triple room costs $2,190 on the 8-day package and $1,970 on the 9-day package.

What Affects the Cost of a Trip to Egypt in December?

Several things change the final price of a December trip to Egypt:

• Hotel choice: On our 3-day Cairo short break, a triple room costs $420 per person at Barceló Cairo Pyramids and $600 at Ramses Hilton Cairo.
• Room type: At Barceló Cairo Pyramids, the same 3-day package costs $420 per person in a triple room, $480 in a double room and $845 for a single traveler.
• Number of cities: A Cairo-only break starts at $420, while a trip that covers Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and a Nile cruise starts at $1,970 or more.
• Internal travel: Visiting Luxor or Aswan adds domestic flights or a sleeper train, which our packages include.
• Travel dates: Late December and early January are often the busiest weeks, so rooms and cabins can fill quickly.

An Egypt Christmas package combines hotels, transport, tours and entrance fees in one price, which makes your budget easier to plan.

How Much Do Hotels Cost in Egypt in December?

Hotel prices in Egypt vary by city, hotel and room type. In our packages, accommodation is always included in the price: hotel nights in Cairo, plus Luxor or Aswan on some itineraries, and a cabin on a 5-star Nile cruise in the cruise packages. Hotel options include Barceló Cairo Pyramids, Ramses Hilton Cairo, Steigenberger Nile Palace in Luxor and Mövenpick Resort Aswan.

When you compare hotels on your own, look beyond the nightly rate. Check whether breakfast, airport transfers and taxes are included. Cairo, Luxor and Aswan have different price levels, so the cities you choose change your total.

How Much Do Transportation and Tours Cost in Egypt?

Transport is included in our Egypt Christmas package prices, and what you get depends on how many cities you visit. Our 5-day Cairo and Luxor package, 6-day Cairo, Luxor and Aswan tour and 8-day Cairo and Nile cruise include domestic flights, and our 9-day package uses overnight sleeper trains between Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. The 5-day Nile cruise starts in Luxor and does not include flights.

All transfers are by private air-conditioned vehicle, and every package includes an Egyptologist guide and entrance fees to the sites listed in the itinerary. Optional tours that are not in the itinerary cost extra.

How Much Should You Budget for Food and Daily Costs?

Most meals are included in our packages, so your own budget is mainly for dinners, drinks and tips. In our packages, breakfast is included with hotel stays and lunch is included on sightseeing days. Nile cruise packages are full board, with evening entertainment on board. Dinners in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan hotels and drinks with meals are not included, and bottled water is provided during tours.

Keep a small daily budget for dinners, drinks, souvenirs, tips and any optional tours. Tell us your dates and the Day Tours Egypt team will build a trip that fits your budget.
