Egypt Family Tours
For families exploring Egypt together, the longer 9-12 day tours really shine. Our travelers consistently praise the mix of education and fun - kids get fascinated by the mummy rooms at the Egyptian Museum while parents appreciate the expert Egyptologists explaining everything at their level. The Nile cruise portions work particularly well, giving families downtime between temple visits to relax on deck or watch village life along the banks. Several tours include time at Hurghada's Red Sea coast where families can go snorkeling, try some watersports or just enjoy the beach. The Nubian village visits are often highlighted as family favorites, with chances to ride camels, get henna tattoos and share meals with local families.

Overall it was a fantastic holiday and a wonderful, exciting and educational trip. Our children (10 & 12) had a fabulous time. We felt very lucky to have such a kind, funny and intelligent guide who was always on hand and keen to ensure we had the best time and the least to worry about. We also felt we got lucky with the other family on the tour who were lots of fun, keen and enthusiastic travellers and whose two boys, despite a large age gap with our children, were kind enough to spend lots of time together, got on like a house on fire and had so much fun. Highlights were the overnight train, the scenery at Aswan, sleeping aboard the felucca, the temple in Karnak, the valley of the kings and swimming at sunset in the Red Sea. Food was generally good but the food available in most of the hotels at lunchtime, poor versions of Italian dishes, was so disappointing when falafel, pitta, cheese pastries and other dishes we would happily eat for lunch were on offer at breakfast. The boat trip on the final day in the Red Sea was out of character with the rest of the tour - the crew showed little sign of caring about the reef or the fish, encouraging people to stand on the reef, disturb or feed fish for photo opportunities, and depositing us on a beach with a dreadful bar for two hours which constantly blasted music unsuitable for children. Drop this trip, replace it with a shorter snorkelling tour on a boat where the crew know and care about the reef and that would be a suitable end to an excellent holiday.

This was an incredible trip and out first group trip and our first "adventure holiday" . Egypt felt really safe , our leader was fantastic and the country is full of wonders at every turn. What made it for us was the group makeup and the fact that out boys had instant friends even though at 5,7 and 9 they were by far the youngest but they still bonded with the other kids on the trip. As a parent we had sensible conversations with other adults, had time to read and relax but most importantly of all we got to do the same as our kids, we were on the journey too, not organising it and this made for a fantastic holiday for all of us and this would not have happened without the careful planning of the itinerary - it's pace was perfect and the supreme efforts of our leader Hany Mustapha . Thanks you Hany and thank you Intrepid for our best family holiday ever

Egypt offers well-appointed 4-5 star hotels such as the Steigenberger Pyramids Cairo and Hilton Hurghada Plaza Hotel with family rooms and kid-focused facilities.

What are the best family-friendly activities and attractions in Egypt?
Children and parents can ride camels near the Giza Pyramids take traditional felucca boat trips on the Nile explore King Tutankhamun's treasures at the Egyptian Museum and visit the vibrant Nubian communities in Aswan.
