Egypt with the Three Wise Men: Family Trip

From€2,000

Pyramids, camels, mummies and a night in the desert — Egypt is a dream for children. Our family programmes keep the visits short, add adventure and include special prices for children.

Egypt with children: practical notes

  • Tickets: children under six enter the monuments managed by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities free of charge.
  • Timing: plan visits for the morning and keep the hottest hours for the pool or the ship; October to April is the easiest season.
  • What children enjoy: a camel ride at Giza, a felucca on the Nile, the mummies and Tutankhamun’s treasures in the museums, and a night in the desert.
  • Tell us: your children’s ages when you enquire, so we can quote the right child prices and rooms or cabins.

Useful reading: Giza Pyramids guide, Grand Egyptian Museum guide and day tours that fit a shorter attention span.
