Egypt Family Tour Overview

Ancient Wonders, Nile Adventures and Red Sea Family Time

This private 12-day Egypt family tour combines discovery with enough time to rest. In Cairo, your Egyptologist turns the pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara and the Grand Egyptian Museum into vivid stories for adults and younger travelers. Fly to Aswan and board a comfortable Nile cruise, visiting Philae, Kom Ombo and Edfu as the river carries your family toward Luxor.

After the royal tombs and monumental temples of Luxor, spend three complete nights in Hurghada rather than making the long road journey for only a short stay. Snorkel above Red Sea coral, enjoy resort time and choose a family desert safari before flying back to Cairo for a comfortable final night ahead of your international departure.
