Winter in Egypt
Swap Snow for Sand!
Winter in Czechia has its charm – snow-covered streets, hot tea, warmth by the fireplace. But let's be honest, how many gray days without sun can you handle before you start longing for warmth? A winter vacation in Egypt is the ideal solution: instead of frost and short days, you can look forward to sun, sea, sand, and a relaxed atmosphere.
Join UP! Czechia brings you direct flights to three Egyptian destinations in the 2025/2026 winter season, where temperatures around 22–26 °C, 8–9 hours of sunshine a day and the Red Sea with warm water around 22–24 °C await you.
Whether you are looking for an active adventure, a family vacation, or a romantic getaway for two, you will find exactly what you need in Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, and Marsa Alam.
Sharm El Sheikh – an exotic mix of sea, desert, and history
Sharm El Sheikh is one of the most sought-after destinations in the Red Sea. No wonder: the local coral reefs are among the most beautiful in the world – colorful fish, turtles, barracudas, and sometimes even stingrays will make every snorkeling trip a pleasure. If you love diving, visit Ras Mohamed National Park, a true underwater paradise. What's more, Sharm is protected by mountains, so winters here are not as windy as in Hurghada.
But Sharm El Sheikh is not just about the sea. A desert safari on quad bikes will take you among the Bedouins to a world of silence and endless starry skies. For those who want to combine their vacation with sightseeing, there is a trip to Mount Sinai and St. Catherine's Monastery – places with a thousand years of history.
Coral Sea Waterworld 5* – a modern all-inclusive resort in the Nabq Bay area, ideal for families and couples looking for a combination of relaxation and entertainment. The hotel offers a private sandy beach, a large water park with slides, palm-lined swimming pools, and a rich entertainment program.
Hurghada – a lively resort for all generations
If you want to combine a beach holiday with entertainment and nightlife, Hurghada is the right choice. Here you will find long sandy beaches, promenades with cafes and bars, markets and a modern marina. Families with children will appreciate the wide range of water parks and hotels with entertainment programs. The weather conditions here in winter are ideal for kitesurfing or windsurfing.
From Hurghada, you can also easily go on boat trips – snorkeling at coral islands, dolphin watching, or a full-day catamaran cruise. If you are interested in history, you can take a trip to Luxor, where majestic temples and the famous Valley of the Kings await you.
Marsa Alam – peaceful exoticism with turtles and dolphins
For those who long for peace and unspoiled nature, Marsa Alam is the perfect destination. This paradise in southern Egypt is known for the opportunity to swim with sea turtles, dolphins and dugongs – rare marine mammals. The beaches here are less crowded than in Hurghada or Sharm, so you can enjoy a vacation at a leisurely pace.
Marsa Alam is also an ideal base for adventurous expeditions to the Wadi el Gemal desert, where rocky mountains, sand dunes, and oases alternate. And if you just want to immerse yourself in the underwater world, the local coral reefs will delight you with their color and diversity.
