Egypt Easter Holidays

Egypt is a fascinating country home to some of the most historical treasures dating back over 5,000 years. But it’s not all museums and archaeological sites. There are many traditions you can experience on your Egypt Easter holiday - one popular activity is to dye eggs red, which symbolises the blood of Christ, or to make a cross out of palm fronds and decorate it with flowers. Thanks to Egypt's sizzling climate you can enjoy balmy evenings and sunny days with a daily average of 26°C. There are many great adventures waiting among the sand dunes or along the banks of the Nile, from the Great Pyramids of Giza - the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World, to a camel ride through the desert, a cruise down the River Nile and a trip to the gorgeous Red Sea coastline, teeming with marine life, famous wrecks and renowned coral reefs.

Egypt Easter Holidays Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

History buffs will enjoy visiting some of the country's famous archaeological sites, such as the Valley of the Kings and the Great Pyramid of Giza, which were constructed over 35 centuries ago and now loom high over Cairo’s western outskirts. Our expert guides will ensure children are equally entertained and enthralled and can organise a camel ride around the Sphinx for the whole family.


Discover the finest sights of Ancient Egypt on a cruise down the Nile to begin your Egypt Easter holiday. Marvel at the unparalleled beauty Egypt offers from the timeless and elegant Steam Ship Sudan, the last historic steamboat still travelling up and down the River Nile. Take in a host of facts about Ancient Egypt from your knowledgeable tour guide before exploring ancient sites and beautiful gardens – there might even be a quiz for the young ones.


Head to the Red Sea for a mesmerising underwater experience – whether you're a beginner or an experienced diver, there are plenty of options for things to see and do. If you’d rather keep your head above water, you can still enjoy the clear blue waters from the comfort of a glass-bottomed boat.


For something off- the- beaten- path, visit Siwa Oasis's Salt Lake where you can effortlessly float in the clean and transparently green waters. The local town of Siwa Oasis, characterized by an ancient mud fortress, is also well worth a visit.


No matter what you choose to do, Egypt Easter holidays are sure to give you lasting memories that you'll never forget.
