Nile Valley Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Egypt Family Holiday (4 destinations)
Noha made everything so easy for us. We visited amazing sites with no effort required from our side. We could have done with a bit more free time (all the early mornings, to miss the worst heat of the day, started taking their toll towards the end of the holiday). We loved everything about Egypt - the amazing sites, the food and the people!
- The Best Family Pharaohs Adventure Explore Cairo Nile Cruise & Hurghada
We had an Excellent tour. The guides were very informative and helpful. We couldn’t say enough good things about the trip. Highly recommend it. The food, accommodations, transportation, guides, and tours were superb.
- Classic Family Adventure - 10 Days
We travelled as a family through Egypt. Our Egyptologist was Mamdouh and he was superb. His in-depth knowledge filled in the gaps in Egyptian history and allowed our group to have an informed experience when viewing the Pyramids and temples.

The temples of Abu Simbel and morning balloon rides over Luxor add extra excitement for families.

What's the recommended duration for a family trip to the Nile Valley?
An 8-12 day trip gives families enough time to see key sites without rushing. A common schedule includes 3-4 days exploring Cairo and Giza 3-4 days on a Nile cruise and 2-3 days in Luxor or Hurghada.
