Egypt midyear school break: find a trip from Alexandria
These are Egypt's national pre-university dates, not an Alexandria-only calendar. The pre-university education council decision, reported in the Supreme Council of Universities' March 2026 bulletin, sets the midyear break from 23 January to 4 February 2027 for government, official-language, private and private-language schools. International schools are not assumed to follow it, and other breaks are not covered here. The example is a five-day culture-and-cities family trip from Alexandria.

What to weigh
- International schools may follow other dates; confirm with your school.
- The break is about thirteen days, so a five-day trip leaves room before or after; change the days in the tool.
- The shortlist is ranked on modelled cost only; it does not filter by flight time, direct service, weather or entry rules. Check those yourself.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency for a family of four, not a typical, recommended or guaranteed amount.
Questions
- Is this a separate Alexandria calendar?
- No. It is the national pre-university decision for the listed school types.
- Are these live prices?
- No. They are modelled whole-trip estimates for the example inputs shown. Change the departure city, days, budget or party to recalculate.
