Why Egypt in winter?
While the days in Germany are short and grey, Egypt shows its sunny side – and it's often just a direct flight away. The Red Sea, desert light, the Nile and thousands of years of culture: there's something for every kind of winter escape.
- The Red Sea: beaches, reefs and dive sites – for example in Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Sharm el-Sheikh or Dahab
- The desert: the White Desert, oases and hikes with Bedouin guides
- The Nile & culture: feluccas in Aswan, the temples of Luxor and the pyramids of Giza
- The winter months are usually sunny and pleasant for excursions, temple visits and desert trips
This is where local insider knowledge helps: many of the best places to stay aren't in any package-holiday catalogue.

Red Sea
Reefs that start right off the shore, wrecks and shoals of fish – diving and snorkelling in the Red Sea works all year round.
Day trips
By boat to a wreck, by balloon over Luxor or out to the pyramids – Egypt is easy to explore one day at a time.
Desert & culture
Quiet wadis, oases, tea by the fire and Bedouin hospitality – just a short drive from the sea.

Which destinations do you cover?
Egypt – from the Red Sea (for example Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Sharm el-Sheikh or Dahab) to the desert and oases and Nile trips to Luxor and Aswan. We know the Red Sea coast especially well, having lived there for many years.
