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.

Such a great trip, Mariam was one of the best guides we've had on a tour, so knowledgeable, patient and kind. It's a very full on tour but totally worth it.

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!

James • traveled in December, 2025
Our trip through Jordan and Egypt was amazing. From arrival at the Amman airport to departure from Egypt, we had assistance from a team professional and personable guides and drivers - Ziod in Jordan, Ahmed, Mo, Omar and Osama in Egypt, all top notch. The history of both places is impossible to grasp, and even with very knowledgeable guides it was still an overwhelming experience (in a good way!) Highly recommend!

What type of accommodation is available for families in Egypt?
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. Nile cruise ships provide family cabins with connecting room options. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The accommodation was very comfortable especially the Steigenberger hotel which had great pool facilities for the kids and pyramid views from our family room."
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.

What is the recommended age range for family tours in Egypt?
Family tours generally welcome children between 4-12 years old though age requirements vary by tour operator. Egypt Best Holidays accepts travelers aged 1-99 while Explore! sets their minimum age at 7. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our children (10 & 12) had a fabulous time.
