NEW YEAR BY THE RED SEA

New Year in Egypt – a different way to celebrate winter

Palm trees, beaches, the Red Sea and resorts dressed up for the festive season. In Egypt, New Year's Eve might mean an elegant dinner at your resort, a live performance or an evening walk among the holiday lights of Sharm El Sheikh.

While winter in Moldova brings cold temperatures, days at Egypt's Red Sea resorts are generally sunny and suitable for walks, relaxation and excursions. However, this is not tropical summer weather: evenings are cooler and wind can affect comfort on the beach.

Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are two popular destinations for spending New Year in a resort. Both offer All Inclusive accommodation, beaches, tourist activities and special holiday programmes, although the experience varies from one property to another.

At Admiral.Travel, we recommend choosing your New Year holiday based on your preferred atmosphere, hotel location, facilities available in winter and the conditions of the festive dinner. A resort with a heated pool, comfortable indoor areas and a sheltered beach can be particularly practical at this time of year.

This guide covers New Year 2027 in Egypt, holiday offers in Egypt, Egypt travel packages and a selection of hotels with flights from Chisinau for the 2026–2027 festive season.

What happens on New Year's Eve in Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh?

Across the Red Sea resorts, many hotels prepare their own New Year's Eve programmes. Some focus on elegant dinners, while others organise performances, concerts and parties with DJs.

✧

Gala dinners

Festive buffets, special desserts and beautifully arranged dining areas. Participation and pricing depend on the hotel.

♫

Music and shows

Live bands, DJs, dance performances and entertainment programmes at selected resorts.

✺

Festive decorations

Christmas trees, illuminated palm trees and dedicated photo spots at hotels and tourist attractions.

☾

Midnight celebrations

Countdowns, music and dancing. Fireworks may take place at some venues but are not guaranteed at every resort.

HURGHADA

Festive resorts, beaches and evening walks

Hurghada is suitable for travellers who want to combine New Year's celebrations with a relaxing seaside holiday. Many hotels prepare decorations, evening entertainment and special dinners, while the following days can be spent at the beach or exploring nearby attractions.

Outside the resorts, Hurghada Marina is an appealing area for a walk, with restaurants and terraces. The atmosphere can be lively during the festive period, although public event schedules should be checked before travelling.

For December 31, 2026, Rixos Premium Magawish resorts announced entertainment featuring Boney M Experience, Claps Show Band and DJs. These are examples of festive events in Hurghada, not confirmed programmes at all hotels featured in the Admiral.Travel selection.

SHARM EL SHEIKH

SOHO Square, festive lights and international concerts

Sharm El Sheikh is known for resorts located in beautiful bays, coral reefs and lively evening areas. During the holiday season, SOHO Square is particularly well known for its lights, restaurants and entertainment spaces.

Naama Bay has a different atmosphere, with a promenade, restaurants, cafés and bars. If you plan to celebrate outside your hotel, check the event programme and reserve a table in advance.

For New Year 2027, Rixos organisers announced performances by Alexandra Stan at Rixos Premium Seagate, Fedde Le Grand at Rixos Radamis and Haddaway at Rixos Sharm El Sheikh. Access to these concerts should not be assumed to be included in packages at other hotels.

Important: All Inclusive does not necessarily mean that the New Year's Gala Dinner is included. Some hotels may charge a mandatory supplement, and the final price should always be confirmed before booking.

Which resort should you choose?

Hurghada is a good option for a classic resort holiday, beaches and walks around town. Sharm El Sheikh is worth considering for coral reefs, SOHO Square and the lively Naama Bay area. For families, the hotel's facilities matter more than the name of the resort.

WINTER BY THE RED SEA

What is the weather like in Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh at New Year?

Late December and early January are generally sunny, although the weather is not as hot as in summer. Average daytime highs are around 23°C in December and 22°C in January, with variations from day to day.

During the day, the weather may be pleasant for walks and relaxing by the pool. Evenings become cooler, and wind is an important factor, particularly on exposed beaches in Hurghada.

For a New Year holiday, we recommend checking whether the hotel has a heated pool, convenient beach access and comfortable indoor areas available during winter.

Pack swimwear, sun protection and lightweight clothing, as well as a sweatshirt or light jacket for the evenings. Warmer clothing can be useful if the New Year's celebration takes place outdoors.

☀Daytime

Many days are sunny and suitable for outdoor activities.

☾Evening

Temperatures are cooler, and wind can make it feel colder.

≈Sea conditions

Swimming comfort depends on the weather, water temperature and personal preferences.

THE HOLIDAY CONTINUES

What can you do in Egypt during the first days of January?

Excursions from Hurghada

Travellers can choose boat trips, snorkelling, desert activities or evening walks around the marina. Those interested in history may consider a cultural excursion to Luxor.

During winter, boat excursions depend on wind and sea conditions, so departure schedules may change.

Excursions from Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh offers opportunities for snorkelling and diving, excursions around the Sinai Peninsula and evening visits to SOHO Square, Naama Bay and Old Market.

For marine activities, check weather conditions, safety requirements and the operator's programme before departure.

HOLIDAY PLANNING

How to book the right New Year holiday in Egypt

01

Ask for the final cost, participation conditions, menu and included services.

04

Check winter hotel facilities

Heated pools, beach access, children's activities and open restaurants may be particularly important.
