Last-minute Egypt holidays

If you’re seeking a spontaneous getaway that delivers pure escapism, a last-minute holiday to Egypt is your magic carpet ride to another world. This is your chance to see the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, lounge on the sun-kissed shores of the Red Sea and feast your senses on charming cities. And with its sizzling summers and warm winters, there’s never a bad time to visit Egypt.


Fantastic fly and flops

There’s no need to overthink a spontaneous getaway to Sharm El Sheikh. With daily direct flights from the UK and an abundance of affordable accommodation, a bargain break is a no-brainer. Book near Nabq Bay for beautiful Red Sea beaches and relaxing resorts that won’t make your wallet wince!

Winter sun that doesn’t quit

Whether you’re here to snorkel in Sharks Bay or take a tour of the Old Market, you can expect temps lodged firmly in the 20s from October through to March. This is the perfect time of year to escape the not-so-sizzling British winter and avoid the humid highs of the Egyptian summer.

Amazing adventures

Bag last-minute deals to Naama Bay to get up close to eagle rays and barracudas, kitesurf across Dahab’s aquamarine lagoons, and watch the sunset from Mount Sinai. There are plenty of ways to earn your lazy days in Sharm!

When to go

Sharm El Sheikh doesn’t do cold weather, making it a true year-round destination. But for affordable last-minute trips when temperatures are still beach-worthy, head over in spring or autumn. That said, if you like nothing more than the sun at its scorching best, then a last-minute holiday in the summer it is!
