About this trip
Nine days through Egypt built specifically with families in mind, mixing the classic sights with a few things off the tourist trail. You'll cover a lot of ground, from ancient temples to the Red Sea coast, at a pace that still leaves room to breathe.
Expect a felucca sail on the Nile, a dinner with a Nubian family, and time to swim and unwind by the pool in Hurghada alongside the history-heavy stops like the Valley of the Kings.
It's a solid way to see the highlights in a short window, and works well as a standalone trip or as part of a longer stay in the region.
