Egypt Family Holiday

Best time to go: October Half Term, Christmas, February Half Term & Easter Holidays
Best for: Family Holidays, Culture & Beach

Bring the stories of ancient Egypt to life on this wonderful family holiday. So the children ride camels, meet mummies and explore the tombs of the pharaohs. They take a felucca on the Nile, then finish on a Red Sea beach. Egypt’s rich history makes it perfect for families with keen little explorers. As ever, the whole trip is private and tailored to your family.

Why Egypt for Families

Few places fire a child’s imagination like Egypt. So we turn the history into a genuine adventure. Meanwhile, we choose hotels with big pools for downtime. A private guide, in turn, tells the tales that bring it alive. As a result, children stay curious rather than weary.

Cairo: Camels and Mummies

Begin in Cairo, a city of many faces, with a private guide and a day built around the family. So the children ride camels around the Pyramids of Giza. Then visit the Papyrus Institute to write their names in hieroglyphs. At the Egyptian Museum, we focus on the Mummies Room. Afterwards, the bazaars are perfect for a little haggling. You stay at the Kempinski Nile Hotel.

Luxor: Tombs and the Nile

Next, fly to Luxor, ancient Thebes, and the family-friendly Hilton Luxor, with its lovely pool. So you cross to the West Bank and the Valley of the Kings. The children adore the narrow, winding tomb entrances. Another day mixes pool time with more sights, perhaps a sunset felucca ride. The tombs of Luxor astonish all ages.

The Red Sea

Then drive about four hours to the Red Sea resort of Hurghada. So the family enjoys four days of total rest and play. You stay at the Kempinski Soma Bay, ideal for children. There they swim, snorkel and unwind by the pool. As a result, the trip ends with sand, sea and sun.

Experiences for Children

The real joy here is shared discovery. So we weave in hands-on fun throughout. For example, the children ride camels and write in hieroglyphs. Equally, they hunt for mummies and explore ancient tombs. Meanwhile, the guide turns history into a story. As a result, every day brings something new.

Where You Stay

Naturally, every hotel is chosen with families in mind, each with a pool. First, the Kempinski Nile Hotel in Cairo. Then the Hilton Luxor, ideal for children. Finally, the Kempinski Soma Bay on the Red Sea.

Best Time to Travel

Generally, the autumn, spring and Christmas holidays are ideal. So the weather is warm but comfortable. By contrast, high summer is extremely hot inland. The Red Sea, meanwhile, is lovely much of the year. So we tailor the timing to the school holidays.

Comfort and Peace of Mind

Above all, we want parents to relax too. So a VIP service smooths your arrival in Cairo. Meanwhile, we choose hotels and guides we know and trust. The pools, in turn, reward each day of exploring. As a result, the worries simply melt away.

A Land of Contrasts

The variety is what children remember. First come the Pyramids and the mummies. Then the tombs of Luxor. Soon after, a felucca on the Nile. Finally, the Red Sea beach. So no two days feel the same.

A Gentle First Adventure

For families new to Egypt, this is a kind introduction. So the history feels like a treasure hunt. Meanwhile, the pace stays relaxed throughout. As a result, it sparks a real love of travel.

Designed Around You

As ever, this is only a starting point. So we shape the pace and the activities to suit your family. In the end, it is entirely your own.

A Trip to Remember

In the end, this is a holiday the whole family treasures. So the children gain stories to tell for years. Meanwhile, parents enjoy the comfort and the calm. Above all, it is shared time that truly counts.

A Gentle Pace

The route is designed to keep children happy. So pool time follows each morning of sightseeing. Meanwhile, the beach finale rewards every young explorer. As a result, the days stay relaxed for everyone.

A Beach to End

In the end, the Red Sea is the perfect finale. So the children swap tombs for snorkels and pools. Meanwhile, parents finally put their feet up. As a result, everyone goes home happy.

A Family Favourite

Above all, Egypt rewards curious families. So the history feels like a living adventure. Meanwhile, the comforts keep everyone content. As a result, it is one of our most-loved family trips.

Easy to Tailor

Finally, every element flexes to suit you. For example, add more beach or more sightseeing. Equally, adjust the pace for younger children. As ever, the whole trip is shaped around your family.
