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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
