Is this trip right for you?
verified
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.
verified
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.
verified
Taking an overnight train is a fun experience, but keep in mind that facilities will be basic. Though there are lockable cabins there is a shared bathroom at the end of the carriage.

Our first family Intrepid trip, and we chose Egypt! A fantastic, low-stress way to introduce our kids to international travel. Our local guide was amazing and we loved our experience with only one other family in our group!

This was my first Intrepid trip and my first overseas holiday. I could not recommend Intrepid more. From the very beginning they stepped me through the process and were always helpful in answering my questions. Amazing trip!!!

This is the ultimate Egypt tour for those who like a bit of adventure. Great to kids over 10. Our guide Marwa was fantastic and she ensured the entire trip went seamlessly.

This trip is packed but every second is worth it! We hit all the main attractions of Egypt and still managed to squeeze in a bunch of cultural experiences. This is not a relaxing tour by any means but you will come away with an understanding of the Egptian people and the history that has shaped them. Recommend for children 10 years up as little ones may struggle with the fast pace.

Experiencing Egypt together with our young teenagers and with our Intrepid group and guide was unforgetable. We have seen so many amazing sites in one week. Our guide made it possible to travel real smoothly without stress to the huge cultural sites, to taste local food and visit local markets, grab taxi’s in the middle of the chaotic streets in Cairo, making sure everybody in the group was allright, being at our service at all times. The good contacts with the other groupmembers, kids, teenagers, their parents and grandparents were lovely. All of this contributed to this great adventure.
