Egypt Winter Sun Holidays

With something for the whole family, an escape to soak up Egypt’s winter sun is never a bad idea. Set sail on the elegant Steam Ship Sudan, a historic and elegant steamboat that has been restored to its former glory, for a leisurely journey down the Nile. –There’s no better way to discover all that Egypt has to offer (although we may be biased, as the boat is owned by our parent company, Voyageurs du Monde).

Built in the early 20th century, the Steam Ship Sudan was once of the largest river steamers in Thomas Cook's Nile fleet – and the traditional décor means you can still envision original passengers toasting to a new voyage down the Nile. Take a seat on the upper deck and see if you can spot any settings that inspired Agatha Christie's to write her world-renowned novel “Death on the Nile”. Admire the incredible views of the riverbanks as the paddlewheels slowly guide you along the Nile.

Begin or end your Nile cruise by, exploring the city of Luxor, once the ancient city of Thebes. Immerse yourself in some of the most famous historical sites in the world, from the Avenue of Sphinxes to the Valley of the Kings. Spend time wandering the streets and observe the echoes of past centuries in the well-preserved ancient monuments.

If you’re craving the feeling of warm silky sand between your toes, Egypt's Red Sea coast is the perfect place to unwind and leave the clouds behind. With its crystal clear waters and beautiful coral reefs, which can be explored in see-through kayaks or by snorkelling or diving, there are endless actives to do and sites to see – but we won’t judge if you just want to relax on a sunbed with a fruity cocktail. What better way to round off your Egypt winter sun holiday?
