Every festive season, Bastet Travel curates a full collection of Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays that pair the monuments of the Nile Valley with the coral reefs and resort life of the Red Sea. Instead of choosing between history and relaxation, every Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays program on this page opens with the pyramids and temples of Cairo and Upper Egypt, then closes with several unwinding days on the Sinai coast. Because each itinerary is privately guided from arrival to departure, you can compare routes and durations here, then let our travel designers tailor the final details around your dates.

View TripRather than a fixed group package, every Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays itinerary we offer is built around private Egyptologist guiding, domestic flights, and air-conditioned transfers arranged from the very first airport pickup. This removes the usual holiday-season guesswork and lets travelers focus purely on the celebration itself.
Each Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holiday on this page is also fully flexible in pace and length. Some travelers prefer a shorter route that leans heavily on beach time, while others want a longer journey that adds extra temples, a full Nile cruise, or even a visit to Abu Simbel before reaching the coast.
Almost every Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays itinerary opens in Cairo at the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, usually followed by an afternoon inside The Egyptian Museum in Cairo to see its collection of pharaonic treasures. Longer programs may also add the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Sakkara and the ruins of ancient Memphis City.
Before or after the coastal stretch, a Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holiday typically closes its Cairo chapter with a walk through Islamic Cairo, taking in the Citadel of Saladin, the Mosque of Muhammad Ali (The Alabaster Mosque), and the bustling lanes of Khan el-Khalili Bazaar along Al-Muizz Street.
This opening and closing Cairo segment sets the historical backbone of every Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays route, and our guides keep the pace relaxed so each landmark gets proper time. For more day-trip ideas in the capital, browse Cairo Tours and Excursions or the dedicated Egypt Pyramids Tours category.
Longer Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays programs continue south to Aswan and Luxor aboard a Nile River Cruise, adding a slower, scenic middle chapter before the coastal finale. This stretch usually covers the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and a crossing to Philae Temple on its island in Lake Nasser.
Some routes extend a Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holiday even further south to the colossal Abu Simbel Temple, one of Egypt's most dramatic monuments. As the cruise sails north, it usually calls at Kom Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple before reaching Luxor.
In Luxor, the West Bank portion of a Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays itinerary usually includes the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon, while the East Bank closes with Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. Our Luxor Tours and Excursions and Aswan Tours categories list further day trips in the same region, and the Aswan to Abu Simbel Cruises category covers sailing options on Lake Nasser itself.
The coastal segment is what truly defines a Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays program, usually running three nights or more on a soft all-inclusive basis at a resort along the Sinai coast. After days spent among temples and museums, this stretch is built purely around diving, sunshine, and relaxed evenings by the sea. Browse the wider Sharm El Sheikh Tours category for further local activity ideas.
Optional excursions commonly booked during a Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holiday include a snorkeling or Diving trip out to Ras Mohammed National Park, a day of shopping and dining around Naama Bay or the Old Market, and a boat crossing to Tiran Island for its reefs. Adventurous travelers sometimes add a desert Safari or a visit to St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai.
For more movement on the water, a Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays stay can also include Parasailing, a Glass Boat tour over the coral gardens, or a SeaScope ride for non-swimmers who still want a close look at the marine life. These extras give the closing days of the trip a genuine seaside-celebration feel rather than a simple stopover.
Because travelers have different amounts of festive time off, our Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays listings range from shorter routes to longer two-week journeys. Shorter programs usually spend fewer days on the Nile and more by the sea, while longer ones add a full cruise, Abu Simbel, and extra nights on the coast.
To browse by length, the Christmas and New Year Egypt Tour Packages category groups every seasonal itinerary together, while the broader Egypt Tour Packages collection covers year-round options. Duration-specific pages such as 10 Days Egypt Tour Packages and 12 Days Egypt Travel Packages can also help if a specific length suits your Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holiday plans better than the routes above.
Standard inclusions across our Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays programs typically cover airport meet-and-greet service, domestic flights between Cairo, Upper Egypt, and the coast, private air-conditioned transport, an English-speaking Egyptologist guide, and entrance fees to every listed site. The Nile cruise segment, when included, generally runs full board, while the Sharm El Sheikh stay is usually booked on a soft all-inclusive basis.
Because every Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holiday is fully customizable, you can request upgrades such as a higher-category resort, extra nights by the sea, or optional excursions through our Egypt Desert Safari Tours category. Travelers wanting shorter breaks outside the festive season can also check our year-round Egypt Day Tours or current Egypt Hot Offers.
Choosing Bastet Travel for your Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Holidays means working with a local team that plans every transfer, flight, and guided visit around your travel dates rather than a rigid departure calendar. Each program above can be adjusted for group size, hotel category, and add-on excursions before you confirm your booking.
