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.
