Holidays in Egypt 2026

Sites such as the temples of Luxor and Karnak and the pyramids of Giza are among the biggest tourist attractions in Egypt. The capital Cairo impresses with its Islamic old town, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO , and with the collections of the Egyptian Museum. But it's no longer just culture vultures who holiday in Egypt: More and more guests are being drawn to the endless beaches of the Red Sea, which is also one of the best diving destinations in the world. A popular destination for hikers is the 2285 metre high Moses Mountain on the Sinai, from whose summit you can experience one of the most beautiful sunrises in the world.

The ultra-modern tourist resorts on the Red Sea offer perfect conditions for your dream holiday: Divers and snorkellers can discover coral reefs just off the coast and can get up close and personal with dolphins, sharks, manta rays and many other sea creatures on diving excursions. A wide range of water sports  such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, water skiing and parasailing await holidaymakers on the beaches, while the pretty towns with Egyptian bazaars, bars and restaurants attract visitors. Nobody can escape the magic of the desert on holiday in Egypt: Whether on a camel ride, a jeep safari or a day trip to the famous Luxor - it's worth getting to know the desert and letting the silence and solitude of this landscape work its magic on you.

With its fertile banks, the Nile runs like a green ribbon through the sand-coloured desert landscape of Egypt before fanning out into a delta shortly before it flows into the Mediterranean. Around 5000 years ago, an advanced civilisation emerged in the verdant Nile Valley that was to shape the region for many centuries and continues to fascinate people to this day: The Egypt of the pharaohs with its unique pyramids, obelisks and temples of the gods, the Egypt of Tutankhamun, Nefertiti and Cleopatra.
