  • Season: October to April is the best time to visit Egypt with children.
  • Royal mummies: if your children want to see royal mummies, ask about the 15 days family tour, which visits the Royal Mummies Hall at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
  • Next step: send the children's ages and your dates to receive a customised itinerary and price estimate within 24 hours.

Egypt Family Tour Packages: Which Length Fits Your Children?

These 4 family trips show the range, from 4 days in Cairo to 10 days with a Nile cruise and the Red Sea. The table shows each trip's route and which children it suits best.

Trip Route Best for
4 days Cairo family tour Cairo, 3 nights in a hotel Very young children
4 days family Nile cruise Aswan to Luxor, 3 nights aboard Children aged 5 and above
7 days family tour Cairo, Luxor, free day in Hurghada Families wanting a beach day
10 days family tour Cairo, Nile cruise, Hurghada First-time family visitors

Because our tours are private and fully customisable, we can slow any of these trips down for your children.

How a Private Family Day Works

A touring day starts early, before the heat and crowds build, and most sightseeing wraps up by early afternoon. With a private guide and vehicle, you can set nap-friendly timing, shorten a site visit or skip long queues. Read how private Egyptologist guides work with families.

Best Time to Visit Egypt With Kids

October to April is the best time for a family trip, when days are mild enough for sightseeing in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. Our month-by-month guide to the best time to visit Egypt helps you compare months before you choose dates.

Nile Cruise or Red Sea Beach for Kids?

On a Nile cruise the family has a comfortable base and a pool, which helps between temple visits. The 4 days family Nile cruise runs from Aswan to Luxor with 3 nights aboard and adds a school visit and a stop in a Nubian village. If you want a longer cruise, compare our full range of Nile cruises.

The Red Sea adds a beach break to a sightseeing trip. The 7 days family tour leaves a full free day in Hurghada after Cairo and Luxor. The 10 days family tour adds 2 nights in Hurghada after a Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor, then returns to Cairo for the last 2 days.

What Is Included in a Family Package?

A typical private package includes:

  • Guide and driver: a licensed Egyptologist guide and a private driver
  • Transport: an air-conditioned car and airport transfers
  • Accommodation: hotel nights, or cabin nights on a Nile cruise, with daily breakfast
  • Sites: entrance fees to the sites in the itinerary, except tombs or areas with their own separate ticket

Meals beyond breakfast differ from tour to tour, so ask us which meals your chosen tour includes.

How to Plan Your Egypt Family Trip

Booking an Egypt family holiday package starts with a short conversation and takes 3 steps:

  1. Send the children's ages, your dates and how many days you have through the enquiry form for a tailor-made family trip.
  2. Review the customised itinerary and price estimate we send within 24 hours.
  3. Ask for changes to the pace or route before you confirm.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our family Egypt tours.

1
Is Egypt safe for families with young children?
Yes. Egypt is a good family destination, and Egyptians adore children. The practical challenges are heat, long walks at sites and dehydration, not safety. With a private guide and driver, you set the pace. Read our Egypt safety guide for travellers.
2
What is the best age to take kids to Egypt?
It depends on the trip. Very young children do best on the 4 days Cairo family tour, which keeps all 3 nights in one hotel. The 4 days family Nile cruise is recommended from age 5 and adds riverside temples and a school visit.
3
How many days do you need in Egypt with kids?
For first-timers, 8 to 10 days is ideal, enough for Cairo, Giza and a Nile cruise. With less time, the 5 days family tour gives 2 nights in Cairo and 2 in Luxor, with a round-trip domestic flight, while the 4 days Cairo family tour keeps everything in one city.
4
Do children get a discount on Egypt family tours, and what do they cost?
Yes, children pay less than adults. Each tour lists its Children's Policy with the rate for every age, and we confirm the exact rate for your children before you book. Prices start from $362 per person on the 4 days Cairo family tour and from $2,085 per person on the 10 days family tour.
5
Can we get car seats for the kids on an Egypt family tour?
Yes, we arrange car seats on request, along with kid-friendly meals. Our Egyptologist guides also explain each site through stories that keep children interested.
6
Can I take a pushchair or stroller to the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum?
Yes, but only to a point. A pushchair helps with very young children on the 4 days Cairo family tour, but expect to carry them now and then at the pyramids and other ancient sites. The Grand Egyptian Museum has ramps and elevators that suit pushchairs and wheelchairs.
7
Is Egypt too hot for children in summer?
It can be, in Luxor and Aswan. June to August regularly reaches 40 to 45°C there, so we advise sunrise starts and a midday rest in summer. If your dates are fixed, we can reshape the itinerary around the heat and keep the longest walks for early morning.
8
Is a private tour better than a group tour for a family with children?
Yes, because a private tour puts the family in charge of the day. You can shorten a museum visit, add Abu Simbel or slow the pace for the children, with no other travellers to wait for.
9
Is it safe for children to drink the water in Egypt?
No, tap water is not recommended, for children or adults. Hotels and Nile cruises generally supply bottled water every day. Your private guide also keeps a supply in the vehicle, so you can top up the children's bottles between sites.
10
What is not included in an Egypt family tour package?
International flights, the Egypt visa, tips and optional extras such as a hot-air balloon usually cost extra. Lunches and dinners depend on the tour, so check the inclusions of the tour you choose. Tombs and areas with their own separate ticket are paid separately.
11
Do we need travel insurance for a family trip to Egypt?
Travel insurance is strongly recommended for any Egypt trip. Arrange it before you travel so every traveller in your group, children included, is covered.
