Egypt is one of those destinations many families dream about, but aren’t always sure is ‘doable’ with little ones.
This lovely family travelled with their two girls (aged 4 and 6) on a private 8‑day adventure I put together for them. They wanted an authentic experience, travelling at a gentler pace and sailing the Nile on a traditional dahabiya rather than a larger Nile cruise boat, so I created an itinerary that included:
✨ Cairo for the Pyramids, Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum
✨ A night in Aswan with a pool overlooking the Nile
✨ A three‑night dahabiya cruise between Aswan and Esna, stopping at temples and colourful riverside villages.
Their eldest also has significant dietary requirements, so I made sure this was fully catered for and that she had safe, simple meals she enjoyed. Everything was handled extremely well, which made a huge difference to how relaxed the parents felt.
This is what they said when they got home:
‘Just a quick email to say a huge thank you for arranging our trip to Egypt, we had a fabulous time. The tour guides in Cairo & Luxor in particular made a huge difference to the trip – both were fantastic with the girls as well. The accommodation in Aswan was brilliant – beautiful views of the Nile with a great swimming pool.’
If Egypt is on your family wish‑list, I can design a trip that combines must-see sights with child‑friendly pacing, private guiding and handpicked stays – so you simply enjoy the experience while I take care of the details.
