Egypt for families

Egypt with children, at a pace that works for everyone

We plan short mornings at the sites, long afternoons at the pool and guides who know how to talk to a seven-year-old about mummies. Grandparents get shade, seats and lifts. Everyone gets a beach at the end.

How we plan it

  • Pacing built around naps and heat

    Sites in the morning, rest after lunch, one outing in the evening. No day starts before 7:00 unless there is a balloon.

  • Rooms and cabins that fit

    Connecting rooms, family suites and cruise cabins for three are booked early, because they are the first to go.

  • Guides who teach children

    Hieroglyph workshops, scavenger hunts at Karnak and a guide who knows when to stop talking.

  • Everything ready before you land

    Car seats fitted, cots in the room and snacks in the car. Tell us once and it is handled everywhere.

Questions we are often asked

Is Egypt safe for children?

The places on our family trips are visited by families every day. Your driver, guide and coordinator know where you are throughout, and we follow official travel advice for every route.

Which age is best for a first trip?

From about six, children remember the trip and enjoy the stories. Younger children travel well too; we simply plan fewer sites a day.

Can grandparents with limited mobility come?

Yes. Tell us what walking is comfortable and we choose sites, ships and hotels with that in mind, and arrange wheelchairs where needed.
