Nile Valley Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Egypt Family Holiday
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!
- Egyptian Family Adventure - 9 Days
Good experienced guide, vast knowledge of history
- Egyptian Family Adventure & Red Sea - 13 days
Alam was an amazing guide and completely looked after us on the Family Tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and having a young kid himself, he understood the level of detail to cover with us before the kids got bored. All the logistics worked perfectly and we loved the hotels on the Nile and the sights were just incredible. My son left his cuddly toys in Aswan and I mentioned this to Alam one morning (we were now in Luxor). Somehow he worked his magic and my son was reunited with his toys the next day despite us being hours by train from where he left them. My thanks to Alam for a wonderful trip and being such a great guy. Book with Alam and you will be very happy

Families can ride camels near the Giza Pyramids take traditional felucca boats on the Nile and visit local schools in Aswan during term time. Children often enjoy exploring the tombs in the Valley of the Kings while parents appreciate the comfort of 5-star Nile cruises with pools and entertainment.

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. Travelers report "Having 12 days gave us the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation time by the pool which was essential with kids."
What educational experiences are available for children?
