Is it safe to travel to Egypt?

What is the best time of year to visit Egypt?

The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April, when temperatures are cooler and ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities across the country. Peak Season (October to April): Excellent weather with comfortable temperatures (15°C to 25°C / 59°F to 77°F). This is the best period for visiting Cairo, the Pyramids, Luxor, Aswan, and taking Nile Cruises. Shoulder & Summer Season (May to September): Temperatures rise significantly, especially in Upper Egypt (Luxor and Aswan). However, this period offers lower prices, fewer crowds, and ideal conditions for Red Sea coastal resorts like Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh.

Are your tours private or shared in groups?

All of our standard and custom day tours are strictly private. This means you will have your own dedicated vehicle, driver, and personal Egyptologist guide, allowing you to move at your own pace without being rushed by a large tour group.

Who is Kemerya Tours and where are you based?

Kemerya Tours is an official, fully licensed local Egypt tour operator based in Giza, Egypt. We specialize in private custom travel packages, Nile cruises, day trips, and specialized accessible tours across the entire country.

Why should I book directly with a local Egypt tour operator?

Booking directly with a local operator like Kemerya Tours eliminates third-party middleman fees, offers 24/7 direct ground support while you are in Egypt, and provides authentic insider knowledge to create custom, hassle-free itineraries.

Spending Christmas and New Year in Egypt: Weather, Itineraries, and Tips

Escape the winter chill and spend Christmas and New Year in Egypt! Discover winter weather highlights, holiday Nile cruises, and essential tips for peak-season travel.

Spending Christmas and New Year in Egypt: Weather, Itineraries, and Tips

Kemerya Tours

If you are shivering through freezing winter temperatures in the US and dreaming of escaping to warm sunshine, ancient temples, and a totally unique holiday celebration, look no further: Egypt during Christmas and New Year is absolute magic.

Winter (December and January) is considered the peak travel season in Egypt for good reason. Here is what you need to know if you are planning to spend the holidays in the Land of the Pharaohs.

Celebrating Christmas and New Year on the Nile

Forget a traditional winter wonderland—celebrating the holidays while cruising down the Nile River is an experience unlike any other.

Christmas Traditions: While Egypt is predominantly Muslim, it has a rich Coptic Christian heritage, and major hotels and tourist hubs embrace the festive spirit with stunning Christmas trees, lights, and celebratory dinners.
New Year’s Eve on a Cruise: If you are booked on a Nile Cruise or a boutique Dahabiya over New Year’s Eve, the crew typically hosts a fantastic gala dinner, complete with traditional music, dancing, and midnight celebrations under a crystal-clear, starry desert sky.

Tips for Booking Holiday Travel to Egypt

Because December and January are the absolute peak of the tourism calendar, planning ahead is non-negotiable.

Book Months in Advance: International flights, top 5-star hotels (like historical properties overlooking the Nile), and Nile cruise cabins fill up very quickly for the holidays.
Expect Popular Sites to Be Busy: Iconic locations like the Giza Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings will have more visitors. Having a private guide allows you to time your visits strategically (like arriving right at opening) to dodge the peak crowds.
Pack Layers: While days are warm and sunny, the desert air cools down significantly as soon as the sun sets. Bring a light jacket, sweater, or fleece for evening walks and breezy nights on the river.
