German package tour operator alltours is significantly expanding its Egypt programme for winter 2026/27, responding to what the company describes as double-digit growth in demand for Egypt holidays from German-speaking markets.
What’s New in the alltours Egypt Programme
The expansion covers three main areas:
More hotels in key resorts. alltours is adding capacity in Hurghada and Marsa Alam, the two Red Sea resort areas that dominate the German package market. Exact properties have not been publicly listed, but the operator has confirmed increased room allocations across both destinations for the coming winter season.
Flights from 10 European airports. Service now operates from airports across Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Carriers include Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and EgyptAir, providing more departure options for travellers outside major hub cities. The wider network makes Egypt more accessible for those who previously faced long transit journeys.
Three new Nile cruise combinations. The expanded programme includes three fresh cruise-and-stay or cruise-only combinations on the Nile. The classic Luxor–Aswan corridor remains the core itinerary, but the new packages offer different durations and pairing options with beach stays in the Red Sea resorts.
Why This Matters for Travellers
The operator expansion reflects a broader pattern: Egypt inbound tourism has been growing steadily through 2025 and into 2026, driven partly by the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum and Egypt’s continued strong value proposition compared with other long-haul winter-sun destinations.
For travellers, more operators committing to Egypt means more competitive pricing and greater schedule flexibility. The addition of regional European airports is particularly useful for travellers from smaller cities who would otherwise need to connect through Frankfurt or Amsterdam.
Planning Your Egypt Winter Trip
If you’re considering Egypt this winter, it’s worth booking early. The top-tier Nile cruise vessels and the best hotels in Hurghada fill up fast once the northern European winter sets in. November through February is the most comfortable period for sightseeing: daytime temperatures in Luxor and Aswan sit around 25–28°C, and the Nile cruise season is at its peak.
Our Egypt itineraries cover both classic one-week Nile routes and combined beach-and-culture trips. For those who prefer to book tours directly, Egypt tours and activities covers the full range of options from Pyramids day trips to Nile cruise add-ons. For practical details on entry requirements, our Egypt practical guide covers current visa rules, health and money. And if you’re still deciding where to base yourself, our Egypt hotels guide breaks down the main resort areas by what they offer.
Whether you’re drawn by the ancient temples, the Red Sea reefs, or a combination of both, the expanded flight network and package options for winter 2026/27 make now a good time to plan.
