Is 4 Days Enough in Cairo with Kids?
Yes, for a relaxed Cairo-only stay. Most travellers spend 2 to 3 days in Cairo before flying south, so 4 days gives your family extra time in the city. Days 2 and 3 are the sightseeing days, with Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum on Day 2 and Old Cairo on Day 3, so each day has one clear focus. Day 1 is for arrival and Day 4 for departure. If you have less time, see our private Cairo tours with Egyptologist guides.
If you want Luxor and Aswan as well, the 5 days family tour with Luxor and Aswan adds them.
What Your Family Sees in Giza and Old Cairo
Giza, the Sphinx and the Camel Ride
On Day 2, after hotel breakfast, your Egyptologist guide takes you to the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple. Plan on 3 to 4 hours on the plateau, longer if the children ride a camel. A camel ride at Giza is a reliable hit with children. Heat is the real challenge for families, so pack a hat, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen, and keep everyone drinking water.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
The Grand Egyptian Museum is the place to see Tutankhamun, because the complete collection is displayed together there. Entrance fees to the featured sites are included in this tour. For the galleries and the best season to visit, read our Grand Egyptian Museum visitor guide.
Old Cairo, the Citadel and Al-Muizz Street
Day 3 is the cultural day. You visit the Hanging Church and the Church of Abu Serga in Old Cairo (the Coptic Cairo district), then the Salah El Din Citadel and Al-Muizz Street. Cover shoulders and knees for the churches and for the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque inside the Citadel. The Citadel was established as the seat of government in 1176 AD under the Ayyubids, according to UNESCO's Historic Cairo World Heritage listing.
