Egypt midyear school break: find a trip from Cairo
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. This page does not assume it applies to international schools. Cairo is the example departure; choose Alexandria in the tool if you leave from there.
