Christmas Egypt Holiday

A Christmas holiday in Egypt can be a unique and captivating experience. While Egypt is predominantly a Muslim country, Christmas is still celebrated by the Christian minority and is recognized as a public holiday. Here are some aspects to consider if you're planning a Christmas holiday in Egypt:

 

Coptic Christmas: The majority of Christians in Egypt belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church, which celebrates Christmas on January 7th according to the Gregorian calendar. This date is different from the December 25th celebration in many other parts of the world. Keep in mind that the festive atmosphere may be more pronounced around this time.

 

Festive Decorations: In major cities like Cairo and Alexandria, you can expect to see Christmas decorations adorning streets, shopping centers, and hotels. The decorations may include lights, ornaments, and Christmas trees, creating a festive ambiance.

 

Church Services: Attending a Coptic Christmas service can be a memorable experience. Many churches, such as the famous Hanging Church in Cairo or the St. Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula, hold special services during the Christmas season. It's advisable to check the schedules and any restrictions or requirements beforehand.

 

Festive Markets: During the Christmas season, you may find Christmas-themed markets or bazaars in some areas. These markets often offer a variety of goods, including handicrafts, gifts, traditional food, and sweets. They can be a great place to soak up the holiday spirit and find unique souvenirs.

 

Sightseeing: Egypt is renowned for its ancient historical sites, and Christmas can be an excellent time to explore them. From the Great Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Luxor and the stunning Red Sea coastline, Egypt offers a wealth of attractions. However, keep in mind that popular tourist sites can be crowded during the holiday season, so plan accordingly.

 

Nile River Cruises: Consider taking a Nile River cruise during your Christmas holiday. These cruises provide a relaxing and scenic way to see Egypt's iconic landmarks while enjoying onboard entertainment and festive meals.

 

Local Cuisine: Indulge in the flavors of Egyptian cuisine during your visit. Traditional dishes like koshari (a mix of rice, lentils, and pasta), ful medames (mashed fava beans), and delicious pastries are worth exploring. You might also find special holiday treats and sweets available during the Christmas season.
If you want to celebrate Christmas somewhere different, in remembrance of a magnificent civilization, or if you want a wonderful trip created exclusively for people who are looking for something truly unique and are familiar with ancient Egyptian history, then welcome to Egypt and take advantage of the Christmas Egypt Holiday.
