Havent started work yet and planning her first holiday.. you go girl !!! hahah
www.airarabia.com can have cheap rates to travel i beleive they fly to a few destinations in Egypt. Egypt Air is probably cheap too but with there safety track record i am not sure i would recommend flying them! If you travel during the second half of January and/or begining of Feb it would be off-peak so you will probably get a better rate than if you travelled closer to begining of Jan.
There are a few threads on Egypt here you go:

You can also cosider just doing Sharm El Sheikh and Air Arabia flies there directly if i am not mistaken. Luxor is another interesting alternative.
