Get away from the crowds and the cold into the warm exotic climate of North Africa. Embrace Morocco and Egypt as perfect Xmas and New Year destinations.

If you book now, Christmas travel for the whole family can still be quite simple and painless. Or maybe a romantic couple would like to spend the Festive Season in a warm, peaceful and exotic location, making special memories that will last for ever? How about Morocco or Egypt?

Kick off the Tour in Casablanca in Morocco

Casablanca Travel and Tours is a full-service travel agency dedicated to the idea that travel can and should open doors to new life experiences, even Xmas holidays. They offer this exciting package: Christmas & New Year's Eve in the exotic Kingdom of Morocco. On arrival at Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca the holiday kicks off with a sightseeing tour of magical Casablanca on December 23, 2007. Discounted air fares from all major cities in USA to Casablanca and beyond are available by request, they say.

Christmas Holidays in Morocco

Busabout adventures invite you to spend Xmas and New Year with them in Morocco. They say: “Whilst we can't promise you a white Christmas we can promise you a Festive Season to remember. What better way to spend Christmas Day than in Morocco's spectacular Todra Gorge and New Year in Marrakesh?”

Onthegotours Offers Two Exciting Itineraries for This Year’s Christmas Holiday Season:

  • Christmas, camels and Kasbahs – 8 days – celebrate a Christmas with a difference in magical Marrakech. Camel trekking in the desert, camping with Berbers, exploring kasbahs at Aït Benhaddou, as well as Marrakech's medina.
  • Rock the kasbah – 10 days - make the most of the Festive Season and enjoy both Christmas and New Year in Morocco. Marrakech with its bustling souks, the colours of Todra Gorge, the fortified kasbah at Aït Benhaddou - all this and more.

Christmas and New Year’s Holidays in Egypt

Christmas and New Year are fast becoming the most popular time to take a break, so why not fly to warmer climes and discover ancient Egypt in all its splendor and glory? Accommodation in Egypt offers exceptional value. For the more active and adventurous there is the opportunity to enjoy the Red Sea's spectacular diving opportunities and to explore the desert and the mountains.

Celebrate a Coptic Christmas in Egypt

Because of the time the Holy Family spent in Egypt with the infant Jesus, Christmas is a very special celebration in Egypt. Egyptian Orthodox Christians (or Coptic Christians) celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on January 7th. Read more about a Coptic Christmas in Egypt.

Egypt Vacation Travel - plenty of options

Egypt Uncovered has a range of Christmas Vacation Travel specials that include many of Egypt’s top attractions like: The Pyramids & and the Sphinx; Luxury Nile Cruises; Valley of the Kings; Temple of Karnak; Sound & Light Show; Khan al-Khalili Bazaar; The Egyptian Museum; Cairo; Alexandria, Red Sea beaches with scuba & snorkeling; Wadi Rum Safari & Camp; Petra; The Dead Sea; Jerash and more.

Sailing and Cruising in Egypt

Egypt's Red Sea area is considered one of the best places in the world for diving and other water sports.

  • A Cruise could be a nice way to unwind during your Christmas holiday. Africa Safaris offers ten-day November - December departures including a special Christmas cruise from only R12, 995.00 (about $2, 000, 00)
  • On the go tours offers an antidote to Festive Season ennui – it is called the “Classic Ramses”. Hop aboard a plane and fly to Cairo for your vacation; then spend 13 days over Christmas on board a felucca sailing the river Nile and New Year's Eve beach side by the Red Sea.
