christmas & new year's in egypt

Discover ancient Egypt and magical Jordan this festive season. Experience a journey across Arabian lands, packed with adventure, exotic sights, sounds and Christmas cheer!

Our tours are designed so that Xmas Day and New Year’s Eve are celebrated at some of Egypt & Jordan’s top locations. Imagine Christmas Day sailing the Nile by felucca, topping up your tan, taking in the riverside sights and sleeping on deck under a blanket of stars. Perhaps you’d prefer some Red Sea relaxation in Dahab; snorkelling at the Blue Hole, climbing Mt Sinai, bouncing about on a camel ride into the desert or simply lazing on the beach.

Wadi Rum for New Year is always fun, taking a 4x4 safari and bedding down at a Bedouin camp in the vast and silent landscape beneath a galaxy of stars - a world away from the chaos of life back home. We offer a choice of 4 departure dates 18, 21, 23 and 27 December 2009 and 2 departures on our superior Jewel of the Nile Tour. Our dates make the most of you annual leave and public holidays. With all our usual inclusions, plus some upgraded hotels and special festive meals - it’s guaranteed to be a memorable start to the year ahead!
