family Egypt Tours

Egypt is one of those rare destinations that lands for every age at once. Kids who've only seen the pyramids in cartoons get to stand at the foot of the real thing; teenagers who claim nothing impresses them go quiet inside a 4,000-year-old tomb. Parents, meanwhile, get a holiday that's genuinely interesting, not just child-minding by the pool.

The real challenges with kids in Egypt aren't about safety — Egyptians adore children and the sites are well looked after — they're the heat, the traffic and tired little legs. That's exactly what a private family trip solves. Your own guide and driver set the pace, build in pool afternoons and early starts before the midday sun, and skip the queues that turn a fun morning into a meltdown.

Every family package below can be shaped around your children's ages and attention spans — a camel ride here, a felucca sail there, a Nile cruise with a pool on the top deck. Tell us how old the kids are and what they're into, and we'll build the trip around them.
