Why Choose This 8-Day New Year Egypt Tour?

• Fixed dates: 25 December 2026 – 1 January 2027.
• Christmas Day arrival in Cairo.
• 3 nights in Cairo with major Giza and city sightseeing.
• 4-night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan.
• New Year’s Eve in Aswan during the final cruise night.
• Two package options with different hotel and cruise categories.

From Christmas Day to New Year’s Eve

The itinerary starts on 25 December 2026 in Cairo. After exploring Giza and historic Cairo, you fly to Luxor and begin the Nile Cruise. The route then continues through Luxor, Edfu and Kom Ombo before reaching Aswan on 31 December.

Because this trip crosses both holiday periods, you may also find our Christmas in Egypt 2026 guide and New Year in Egypt 2027 guide useful for planning weather, crowds and festive-season expectations.

New Year’s Eve in Aswan

On 31 December 2026, the scheduled program includes the Aswan High Dam, Philae Temple and a Felucca ride before your final night on board. The supplied itinerary does not guarantee a New Year’s Eve gala, party or entertainment program. Any special celebration must be reconfirmed for the exact cruise vessel before travel.

Package A and Package B

Package A starts from $2,480 per person based on double occupancy, while Package B starts from $3,260 per person. Both packages follow the same 8-day sightseeing route; the difference is the accommodation and cruise category shown in the package selector.

Entrance fees to the sightseeing sites mentioned in the program are included. The package also includes the Cairo–Luxor and Aswan–Cairo domestic flights according to the published itinerary.

Is This the Right New Year Tour for You?

This 8-day option works particularly well if you want a longer 4-night Nile Cruise and prefer to arrive in Egypt on Christmas Day. If you want a shorter itinerary beginning on 27 December and finishing on 2 January, compare the 7-Day New Year Egypt Tour 2027.

The tour finishes on 1 January 2027. Travelers adding extra nights can use our Egypt in January 2027 guide for weather and early-January planning.
