Planning an Easter Holiday in Egypt
Easter falls in one of the best seasons to visit Egypt. Here is how to plan it. For traditions and dates, read Easter in Egypt.
Two Easters
Western Easter is on 28 March 2027 and Coptic Easter on 2 May. The day after Coptic Easter, Egyptians celebrate the spring festival of Sham el-Nessim with picnics by the Nile.
Family trips for the school break
A Nile cruise and a few days on the Red Sea suit children well; many of our family trips combine both.
Weather and the khamsin
Days are warm and dry. In spring a hot, dusty desert wind, the khamsin, can blow for a day or two; bring sunglasses and a scarf.
Book early
Easter weeks are busy with European holidays, so cruises and family rooms fill first.
