This is it—the main event. Seeing the Pyramids of Giza is not just a “must-do”; it’s a core memory in the making. For kids, the sheer scale of the Great Pyramid (the only surviving wonder of the ancient world) is a mind-blowing concept.
It’s the activities around the pyramids that make it a family highlight.
Family Pro-Tip: Go first thing in the morning to beat the heat and the crowds. In the evening, consider returning for the Sound and Light Show, a dazzling, kid-friendly spectacle and an easy win when traveling to Egypt with kids.
A Nile River cruise is, without a doubt, the single best way to tour Egypt with kids. Think of it as your “floating hotel” and all-inclusive transportation, unpacking just once as you sail between Luxor and Aswan. This stress-free approach turns sightseeing into a relaxing adventure.
While parents enjoy the stunning scenery from the sundeck, kids can enjoy the (all-important) onboard swimming pool. The cruise ship handles all the logistics, docking directly at key sites:
No visit to Cairo is complete without diving into the chaos of the Khan El-Khalili Bazaar. This 1,000-year-old market is a real-life Aladdin’s cave, a dazzling maze of narrow alleys overflowing with glittering lanterns, aromatic spices, colorful silks, and endless souvenirs.
For children, this can be the highlight of the trip.
Family Pro-Tip: The market can be intense. Go in the early evening when it’s cooler and the lanterns are lit, making it truly magical. This is a key tip for any trip to Egypt with kids: have a designated meeting spot, and when you need a break, stop at the legendary El Fishawy Café for a sweet mint tea.
Seeing the treasures of ancient Egypt up close is what connects all the stories. For decades, the “Egyptian Museum” in Tahrir Square was the main event, but today’s families have even better, more modern options.
Family Pro-Tip: Don’t try to see it all. A “museum day” can be exhausting, especially in Egypt with kids. Pick one or two key things your kids really want to see (King Tut’s gold or the mummies) and make a beeline for those exhibits.

After a week of history, sand, and temples, there is no better reward than a Red Sea beach holiday. Destinations like Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are world-famous for a reason: they are home to some of the best all-inclusive family resorts in the world.
This is the “pure vacation” part of your trip.
Give your family a taste of true adventure by spending an evening in the desert. This experience, easily booked from Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, or even Luxor, is pure magic and one of the most unique activities you can plan for Egypt with kids.
The adventure typically includes:
Jeep or Quad Bike Safari: A thrilling ride across the sand dunes and into the desert canyons to a remote Bedouin camp.
Camel Ride: A short, gentle ride as the sun begins to set over the dramatic mountains.
Bedouin Dinner & Stargazing: Enjoy a traditional meal cooked over the fire. As night falls, the guides will point out the constellations, far from any city lights. For a child, seeing the Milky Way blaze across a truly dark sky is an experience they will never forget.
