About this tour

If you’re a family looking for an unforgettable adventure in Egypt, this comprehensive tour is perfect for you. Our group sizes are kept small, and we select family-friendly guides who will help bring Egypt alive for both children and parents alike. This tour includes a fun camel ride, a traditional felucca cruise on the Nile, awesome sightseeing, and a stop at a beach resort by the Red Sea, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy. We begin our family tour in Cairo, where we’ll visit the awe-inspiring Pyramids and Sphinx, followed by a trip to the vast Egyptian Museum – famous for its Tutankhamun exhibition and creepy mummy room. Next, we’ll climb aboard the overnight sleeper train and journey south to the picturesque town of Aswan on the banks of the River Nile. Here, we’ll visit the temple of Philae, join in on an English/Arabic language session at a local school (term times only), and enjoy a traditionally prepared Nubian meal. For those who want to experience more, there’s also an early morning option to visit the amazing Sun Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel. Leaving Aswan behind, we’ll float down the River Nile on board a traditional Egyptian felucca sailboat, taking in the rural scenery along the way. In Luxor, we’ll delve underground into the ancient pharaonic tombs of the Valley of the Kings and marvel at the vast temple complex of Karnak. Next, we’ll drive to the Red Sea at Hurghada to enjoy a relaxing 3-day beach stay, where families can take part in a range of water activities or simply relax under the sun. We’ll then catch a flight back to Cairo, where we’ll finish off our Egyptian adventure with a tour of Cairo, including the Citadel and Khan-el-Khalili bazaar, followed by a farewell dinner. On the last day, we’ll transfer you back to the airport for your flight home. Throughout the tour, our family-friendly guides will provide insights into the history and culture of Egypt, making it a fun and educational experience for everyone. With a balance of organized activities and free time, families will have the flexibility to explore at their own pace and make the most of their time in Egypt.
