Celebrating New Year in Sydney is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Listed below are the six most popular places to consider for your celebrations:

1. Cairo

Ring in the new year with a bang in Cairo, the vibrant capital of Egypt! The city is known for its spectacular fireworks displays over the Pyramids of Giza and lavish gala dinners on Nile River cruises. Many hotels and resorts in the city also host huge parties accompanied by special dinners, concerts and other folklore shows.

2. Luxor

Seeking a peaceful New Year celebration steeped in history? Look no further than Luxor! Enjoy a gala cruise dinner on the Nile River, watch an impressive light and sound show at Luxor Temple and attend a quiet party at a riverside hotel. For a memorable start to the New Year, take a hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings at sunrise.

3. Sharm El Sheikh

Glide into the New Year with an ultimate beach party in Sharm El Sheikh. Known for its lively clubs and resorts, the city offers everything from massive beach parties with live DJ performances to elegant dinners and fireworks over the Red Sea. Join the countdown to 2026 at Soho Square and watch the dazzling fountain show. Whether you are with family or friends, this spot is suitable for everyone.

4. Hurghada

Hurghada is one of the most popular places to enter the New Year in Egypt. Mark the new beginning with a sophisticated gala at a beachside resort, comprising gourmet food and live music. Alternatively, go for an adventurous desert safari or a stunning yacht party on the Red Sea.

5. El Gouna

El Gouna is known for its iconic New Year celebrations that last over a week! This trendy town on the Red Sea coast hosts a series of high-end parties and music festivals with a cool, modern vibe. Enjoy midnight countdowns and savor delicious buffet dinners. If you are someone who loves dancing and socializing, this is the place to be for this NYE.

6. Alexandria

Alexandria offers a charming, coastal experience of New Year celebrations, blending its unique history with a modern vibe. Relish a gala dinner at a hotel along the Corniche and dance through the night or enjoy festive decorations and fireworks over the Mediterranean. Explore major landmarks in the city for a more cultural and tranquil start to the year.

7. Ras Abu Galum

Ras Abu Galum, a protected area near Dahab, offers a New Year's celebration centered on tranquility and nature. There are no large parties or fireworks. Instead, festivities are low-key, focusing on a unique experience. Visitors can camp on the beach or stay in simple huts, enjoying a traditional Bedouin dinner under a starry sky, far from city noise.

8. White Desert National Park

A New Year's celebration in the White Desert National Park is an otherworldly experience that you should not miss! There are no fireworks or huge parties but rather overnight camping under the moonlight. Visitors enjoy a traditional Bedouin dinner around a campfire and watch the stunning display of the Milky Way and stars in the sky away from the city.

9. Lake Nasser

For the most exclusive New Year celebrations, head to Lake Nasser. Festivities here focus on history and natural beauty rather than lively parties. Hop onto a New Year's cruise that sails between Aswan and Abu Simbel. Guests enjoy a special dinner and entertainment onboard, often under a starry sky. This offers a tranquil, unique way to welcome the new year while exploring ancient temples.

10. Ras Mohammed National Park

This New Year’s Eve, escape to Ras Mohammed National Park and make your celebrations extraordinary and memorable. Since it's a protected natural area, there are no fireworks or loud parties.
