Egypt
On our big planet, there are places where the period of the year “winter” is not at all like our snowy, cold cold. Egyptian winter with sun and warmth comes in early December. In winter, you can continue to swim in one of the seas (Red, Mediterranean) surrounding the country, located on two continents at the same time. Summer in Egypt is very hot, and therefore it is better to plan a vacation for a “cool” time (despite the fact that you can go here at any time).
Every year, the popularity of Christmas trips to visit the Egyptian pyramids, the cities of Giza, Cairo, Suen, Alexandria, Luxor is growing. Christmas tours must be planned in advance. Their prices are high. Modern hotels are distinguished by the quality of service, clean beaches, rich infrastructure, numerous entertainment programs for children.

In the Maldives, the tourist season is in full swing under the rays of the bright sun, in the waters of the warm sea. This makes it possible to spend any type of vacation in the resorts of the Maldives: lazy beach swimming, active diving, surfing, trips to the sea. It is best to explore the underwater kingdom of the archipelago at this time, forgetting about the frosty weather, snowstorms at home. Of particular interest are the endless thickets of corals with mysterious creatures that inhabit them.
In winter, there is no rain on the islands, the weather is dry, sunny (the average air temperature is 27. The humidity level drops, taking away the difficulties associated with high humidity. For small children, there is the possibility of long swimming in pools, water parks. A variety of local dishes (from numerous sea delicacies), fruits are offered in numerous restaurants, cafes, rich fairs with fun concerts, shows are regularly held in all settlements.
Seychelles
The winter period in the Seychelles lasts from December to February. But this winter is more like our very warm autumn. The temperature on the islands is about 27 all year round. Only warm torrential rains can darken the trip a little. Sun and rain can exist on the beach at the same time. Arriving with children, one must take this effect into account and make it a rule to use the conditions of the pools located in modern hotels. Unlike the Maldives, trips are often offered here with excursions to different islands that are part of the archipelago.
This is due to their origin from granite and a greater degree of habitation. It is difficult to make sightseeing walks through the beautiful jungle during this rainy period with small children. The main attraction of the Seychelles is their pristine nature. Local beaches are good in any weather: rocky, sandy, snow-white, pink, washed by gentle waves, allow you to spend a relaxing vacation here. At the same time, huge turtles calmly walking nearby will cause extraordinary delight.
