Happy family having fun on summer vacation
Family Activities in Egypt

A family holiday in Egypt won’t be complete if you don’t visit these exciting places. Egypt is exotic yet approachable, rich in history but well-equipped for modern tourists. Take your kids to Egypt and they will be able to see their lessons come to life.

Our Egyptian vacations are a far cry from the typical Sharm el-Sheikh vacation of a flop, drop, and relax by the pool. Instead, they’re an action-packed adventure where every day is new.

You may be certain that every family member will be thoroughly engrossed and enthralled. Most family holidays to Egypt include a seemingly unending series of temples and ruins.

However, if you want to keep the kids’ attention and interest, you should alter the activities. Add something ‘of the moment’ to every site where you’ll be astonished by antiquity. You could go on a camel trek, a donkey ride, r a leisurely Nile cruise on a classic felucca.

There are numerous swimming pools, and if you need a break from the kids, you can drop them off at the supervised kids club, where they will have joy in the playground or the kids’ pool.

Enjoy A Delicious Dinner With A Local Family On the West Bank

During most family holidays in Egypt, many families find Egyptian cuisine to be a delight. With African and Arabian flavors, the cuisine will be more familiar than you might think..

You’ll have lunch in Luxor with one of the west bank’s local families, who will not only cook for you but also give you a (very brief) tour of their home. Before you go, make sure you’re hungry: it’s amazing!

Things To Note When Traveling To Egypt With Kids

When you are going on a family holiday in Egypt, make sure everyone remains healthy. Sunscreen should be brought along, and everyone should wear a hat to protect themselves from the sun.

When sightseeing, only drink bottled water and make sure you have sufficient money on hand. Pack a moist facecloth in a zip-lock bag to use as needed to cool down.

When visiting Egypt, you’ll wish to avoid the unpleasant traveler’s stomach troubles. If you want to be especially cautious, avoid ice in drinks. Antinal is an Egyptian drug that can be purchased over-the-counter in a drugstore.

This is the most effective treatment for this sickness, and it should be started as soon as the symptoms appear. Antinal dosages for children are available.
