Plan with us! Your dream vacation is a click away.

Entertainment Activities in Cairo

In your Easter vacation, you can have fun by trying some of the entertainment activities in Cairo.

Escape rooms 

You can spice up your Easter with an adventure game called “Escape room”. In this game, you will be locked into a room with a group of people and to be able to escape from this room you have to solve some clues and riddles scattered within 60 minutes. Your mind needs some work to do.

Parties and Nightlife

Cairo is known for “The city that never sleeps” which will make it the perfect place for parties. In Cairo, you will find all the parties you can wish for, so choose your favorite to enjoy your Easter time. Don’t forget to try the nightlife in Cairo streets, everything is open and there are people everywhere. A feeling you’ve probably never tried before.

Sandboarding

Egypt has the largest desert in the world, which makes it the best place for Sandboarding. If you enjoyed snowboarding so you will enjoy trying the sand way more. Sandboarding always comes with a package of fun as you can enjoy the safari or playing sand football, while you can also enjoy eating special lunch with Bedouin tea party.

Nile Boat Ride

In Cairo, the Nile boat called “Felucca” where you can sail in the Nile and have a great meal with your friends is a scenic view, or maybe making a small party with your friends in the Nile by dancing and listening to music.

Visit Coastal cities

Egypt is famous for its distinguished geographical location between the two seas “Mediterranean & Red Seas”. In this country, you can enjoy the magic beauty of these seas during your Easter vacation. Here are some of the most beautiful coastal cities in Egypt.

El Gouna

A unique city on the Red Sea coast has to be on your list for the Easter vacation. El Gouna is a perfect place for relaxing and entertainment as it has the most beautiful scenery plus all the possible ways of having fun. So you have to try snorkeling, swimming, kite-surfing and of course, clubbing. All in one city.

Ain Sokhna

If you are looking for a refreshing place that is very close to Cairo, so Ain Sokhna is the one. In Ain Sokhna you can enjoy all the beach activities or having a barbeque party on the beach. Chilling in Ain Sokhna is not a hard thing to do, once you entered, this city will take over you.

Dahab

Your Easter in Dahab is so unique as you will be in a place that gathers the beauty of the mountains beside the sea which will give you more activities to do.

Who said you can go hiking, sand-boarding, diving or snorkeling in one place. You will find this mix only in Dahab

Visit Green Land cities

Easter is the beginning of the spring season which is the time of the green lands and fresh air. In Egypt, there are a lot of large green areas in most of the cities, but here we recommend some of these cities to visit at Easter.

Aswan 

A fascinating view of the Nile River mixed with the Pharaonic monuments especially during sunrise/sunset is a perfect thing to feast your eyes on for Easter. In the springtime, it is better to search for the mother nature and enjoy its color, smell, and feeling. To enjoy nature you have to go for a Nile cruise trip to be in the arms of nature.

Fayoum 

Calm and reassurance at Easter will satisfy your desire to relax. Fayoum city is one of the oldest destinations in Egypt that has mesmerizing landscapes and green nature. Don’t miss visiting the waterfall of Wadi El Rayan, the magic lack, and the whales’ valley.

All these fun places and activities are just for you. I think your Easter vacation is so lucky to be spent in Egypt. Start your arrangments for the Easter vacation from various Egypt easter Tours Packages and make sure to try all these things.

Trip of a lifetime We just got back from a family "trip of a lifetime" to Egypt: 3 couples arrived in Cairo from different parts of US and Canada, at different flights and times, and yet the reception and arrival coordination and documents arrangement could not have been smoother. All was arranged, and the trip was custom designed by Ahmet from GAT Tours. We were a bit apprehensive considering the issues in the Middle East, but really there never has been a moment of concern and a complete feeling of safety as we were chauffeured, flown and sailed to the various destinations of this great country of Egypt. We visited the important sites around Cairo : the fantastic, new, Grand Egyptian Museum, the pyramids, the Sphinx, Civilization Museum, the market, Citadel, and other sites. Our hotel was first class. Our voyage down the Nile from Luxor was in upgraded suites (courtesy of GAT) on top of the line Sonesta Cruise line : gourmet meals in absolute comfort! We were lucky to have Asmaa in Cairo and Simon in Luxor and Aswan to guide us through the exhilarating sites of Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Kim Ombo, Edfu, Abu Simbel etc. in a very knowledgeable and entertaining fashion. WOW !! What a trip. GAT Tours made it happen. George C.

Cairo and Nile Cruise This was an excellent tour! GAT Tours planned every detail and was very accommodating. We were initially going to cancel the tour considering the recent instability in the Gulf Region, however, the tour manager (Ahmed Omar) ensured our safety. We felt very safe in the hands of our tour guides (Asmaa - in Cairo and Simon in Luxor/Aswan). Both tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, personable, engaging, and advised us well on how to save time and money at the various sites and markets. Strongly recommend Asmaa and Simon as tour guides! Our travel/logistics person (Seif) was also great. He ensured our transportation, pick-ups, and meals were all on time. Everyone operating the tour was accessible and responsive via iPhone. The tour guides really showed us how rich their culture (ancient or modern) is. Highly recommend this tour: Six adults (incl. 2 seniors). My personal favorites: Valley of the Kings, GEM, and any of the evening tours of the temples!

Good experience overall It’s a mixed review of the tour and I will divide it into office staff and guide & drivers. Ahmed Omar in Cairo office helped us with our 5 days-Nile cruise and associated sightseeing. He was very prompt, polite and professional. As we didn’t get the morning flight on the day of our cruise, Ahmed helped us book a Luxor hotel for the night before. He also asked us for a personal favour and we obliged. Ahmed was thoughtful and offered to arrange ‘meet and greet’ at Cairo airport, in addition to the pick up on our return to Cairo after the cruise. Mr Mina met us at Cairo airport for helping with visa, Sim and money exchange. Despite Ahmed’s assurance that we would be helped with exchanging money, Mr Mina was walking out without doing that. When my wife pointed that out, he tried to blame us for not reminding him, which was not very nice! At Luxor airport, we were expecting My Ayman, but someone else came, which is fine. He was helpful and went to the hotel with us and next morning picked us up from hotel and dropped us at the cruise. We chose Sonesta star goddess for our trip and Ahmed had arranged everything. The guide Mohamed Refaat met us at 3pm. He said was a freelancer, and that he was given to us because he is a close friend of Mr Ayman. We found difficult to understand his English initially and his knowledge was just ok. He spent 20 minutes outside the Karnak temple talking about canals etc and as a result we had to rush at the end. He didn’t offer to take photos, but obliged whenever we asked. He repeated himself a lot and was not very interesting or engaging. We did think of calling the office to change him but didn’t. In Aswan, he said that we should pay for the felucca ride which was included. And then went on to say that we should pay the driver as he is not paid well and that we have to spend a lot during our Abu Simbel trip. On the final day, Mohamed went to our cruise reception and asked the person to give us an envelope and then turned around and told me to give them tips, before he leaves. That was very disrespectful behaviour and we were angry. Then we went to Abu Simbel and throughout the journey, he mostly chatted with the driver or slept. The driver, Kareem, was holding his phone with his left hand and talking while driving on the highway, which we found quite scary. Despite clearly telling Mohamed that we will not take out money using our card and that we will exchange money when we return to Aswan, after our trip finishes, he kept asking us to take money out throughout the day whenever he saw an ATM, very irritating behaviour. It left us with a bad taste. On the positive side, he was always on time, was friendly and did the basics. There were other little negative things like the car didn’t have water or tissue box, though it was sorted after informing Ahmed twice. It would have been good if someone from Gat tour contacted us directly to see if we were ok. We had to keep texting Ahmed for all minor issues, and he was always prompt. The representatives for Aswan airport and then again at Cairo airport were all on time and professional. So overall it was good. Gat tours is recommended but the guide Mohamed is definitely not.

The best! Highly recommended! 10 out of 10 The best. Seamless from start to finish. Nothing is too much. Excellent communications. We did the Renaissance 5 day river cruise from Luxor to Aswan. 4 of us. We had our own knowledgeable and very solicitous guide who accompanied us throughout the cruise. GAT also met us at the airport and in Luxor to take us to the boat and introduce us to our tour guide. Everything on time, with clear communication. GAT also booked us the Elite sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor. Their cost was was very reasonable and it was a fabulous experience: a wonderful, clean and well designed compartment with excellent service, they even provided slippers! Mr Omar, one of the managers, based in Cairo, was superb in choreographing our entire trip. Thank you GAT
