Egypt family holiday - Feluccas & Pharaohs
Introduction
- Sleep & sail on a felucca
- Pyramids & mummies (daddies too!)
- Swim & snorkel in the Red Sea
Your trip starts in Cairo, with a visit to the Egyptian museum,
where you’ll learn about the mysteries of the mummies, and marvel
at the treasure of the boy-king, Tutankhamun. Next it’s the
Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx – even the smallest children are
overcome with awe at the sight of these wonders of the ancient
world! Catching the overnight sleeper train to Aswan, you have time
to explore its colourful bazaar or ride camels within sight of the
Nile and enjoy a visit to a Nubian village to take dinner with a
local family. You sail down the Nile aboard feluccas – traditional
Egyptian sailboats – stopping on your journey to visit the temple
at Kom Ombo. You also drive to Luxor, home to the world’s greatest
collection of antiquities. As well as exploring the monumental
temple at Karnak, you visit the tombs of the Pharaohs, hidden away
in the Valley of the Kings. Then, a brief stay at Hurghada gives
you a chance to swim & snorkel in the Red Sea before returning
to Cairo.
Grading: This trip has a very full itinerary
but offers a pleasant balance between relaxation and activity – we
don’t overload children with too many sites. It is not a luxury
trip – conditions aboard the felucca sailboats are very simple, but
accommodation elsewhere is modest, clean and comfortable. It can be
very hot in the summer months, which children and adults alike can
find tiring.Minimum age: 5 years.
