Egypt is one of our most popular family destinations. Seeing the pyramids 'in the flesh' is something your kids will never forget. Egypt's ancient treasures extend into the today's vibrant culture. Haggle in a colourful bazaar, have dinner with a Nubian family, snorkel in the Red Sea, sail a felucca down the Nile, ride a camel into the desert, drive a horse-drawn calesh to the ancient temples of Karnak, travel by donkey to the Valley of the Kings'.

You can create your own itinerary to explore the bazaars & museums of Cairo, the peaceful calm of Aswan, the ancient wonders of Luxor and then relax in Hurghada, on the shores of the Red Sea.

On the Egypt accomodation pages (to the right) you'll find descriptions of some of our favourite hotels in Egypt.
