Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Explore ancient icons like the Pyramids, Sphinx and Valley of the Kings with you family, getting the behind the scenes info from expert local guides.
This tour offers so many chances to interact with the locals and experience a slice of contemporary Egyptian life, including dinner with a Nubian family in an Aswan village.
See the light of the sunrise on the dunes of the Sahara during a breakfast cruise down the Nile on a traditional felucca.
Check out epic monuments like the Temple of Isis during the day, then relax by the pool in the afternoon – this trip has scheduled sightseeing and time to relax.
Egypt can be overwhelming, especially if you’re travelling with kids, but the guidance of your local leader and a well-planned, balanced itinerary make for an anxiety-free adventure.
Is this trip right for you?
There is a fair amount of walking involved in exploring the pyramids and it can get very hot in the summer. Be sure your family has appropriate clothing, sun protection and plenty of water to drink.
Evenings can get quite cool, so it's best to bring warm clothes too. Wearing layers is the best way to deal with the disparity in day and night temperatures.

Our guide Mudi was simply brilliant. He had a vast knowledge on Egypt, and was always considerate to children on a family tour, including making learning fun and accessible.

Our 8-day Egypt Family Holiday with Intrepid was nothing short of incredible. To travel in the company of our local guide Mudi, an expert Egyptologist was a real privilege and really elevated the experience beyond going it alone. The itinerary was well planned, and took in to account the needs of families, without impacting the adventure. The experience was relaxing for the parents too because, despite being fast-paced, all the logistics were taken care of allowing us to enjoy the journey.

We went on a family trip to Egypt, and it was an incredible experience. It was especially enjoyable with my 10-year-old; we both had an amazing time exploring and creating unforgettable memories together.

Our tour guide Mudi was a great good guide. He interacted really well with us kids. I loved his funniness and cool role play to bring the stories of Egypt to life. The hot air balloon ride was amazing. From Sheep.
