Family Egypt tours are the itineraries we run for guests travelling with children. Every family tour is paced with under-12s in mind — earlier mornings, shorter tomb visits, a pool day between the temples, and hotels with genuine kids' clubs rather than a name only.

What makes an Egypt tour work for children

Egypt is more manageable for children than most people expect, provided the pace is realistic. Two temples a day, not four. A morning at the pyramids followed by an afternoon at the hotel pool. And a Nile cruise cabin large enough for a rollaway bed.

Best ages for an Egypt family trip

Seven and up gets the most out of the archaeology. Under-fives are the tricky group — the heat, the walking, the tombs. If you have very young children, we swap tomb visits for camel rides, boat trips and the Grand Egyptian Museum's family galleries.

Family-friendly hotels and cruises

Steigenberger Cairo Pyramids has the best kids' club in Giza. Movenpick Aswan has a family pool and connecting suites. The Movenpick Royal Lily and Sonesta St George both accept children over 6 in a rollaway configuration.

Child pricing

Under 6 travel at 50% of the adult rate, 6–11 at 75%, sharing a room with two adults. Child seats and cots are provided free on request.

“Our guide Hoda knew every corner of the Valley of the Kings and got us in before the coaches arrived. Fourteen days and not one wasted morning.”

“Our flight to Aswan was cancelled the night before. The team rebooked us, moved the hotel and messaged at 1am to confirm. We didn't lose a single site.”

“The boat is comfortable rather than glamorous — be clear on that. But the guiding was the best of the three trips I have taken to Egypt.”

Travel tips for Egypt

The things guests ask us on the phone, answered properly. Written by the team who meet you at the airport.

When to travel

October to April for the archaeology. May to September for the Red Sea, at roughly two-thirds of the price.

November – FebruaryPeak season. Luxor sits at 23–25°C, ideal for tombs and temples. Busiest and priciest — book about three months ahead.
March – April, October – NovemberOur own favourite. 29–35°C, noticeably thinner crowds, and prices below the December peak.
May – September41°C in Upper Egypt by lunchtime. Excellent for Hurghada and Sharm, hard work in the Valley of the Kings unless you finish by eleven.
Nights get cold8°C in Luxor in January is normal, and cruise sun decks are chilly after dinner. Bring a jacket — nobody expects to need one.
What we'd book. Late October or early November for a first trip — warm enough for the coast, cool enough for the tombs, six weeks clear of the Christmas crowds.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Egypt is more manageable with children than most parents expect, provided the pace is realistic. Our family tours plan around two sites a day rather than four, with earlier mornings, shorter tomb visits and a pool afternoon between the temples so nobody is overwhelmed by heat or walking.

Our licensed Egyptologists are used to guiding families and pitch the storytelling to the children — pharaohs, mummies and hieroglyphs told as stories rather than dates. Because the tour is private, the guide sets the pace to the kids and can cut a visit short or linger on whatever captures them.

Yes. Prices are per person in USD, and children are charged at reduced rates that vary with age and the hotel or cruise. Because the tour is private, the more of you travel together, the lower the per-person cost, which helps a family budget.

We choose hotels with genuine kids' clubs and pools rather than a name only, and family-friendly cabins on the Nile cruise. Air-conditioned private transport with the right number of seats and child provision is included, so travel days between cities stay comfortable.

We front-load sightseeing into the cooler morning hours and build in pool or rest time in the afternoon, especially in Upper Egypt. Tomb visits are kept short, water and shade breaks are built in, and the private vehicle stays with you so there is always somewhere cool to retreat to.
