Explore ancient history and cultural wonders in the land of the pharaohs
Spectacular ancient monuments, vast desert and golden beaches make Egypt an exciting-for-all destination. We begin our adventure in Cairo, visiting the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx; even the smallest children will be amazed at these magnificent wonders of the ancient world! Catching the overnight sleeper train to Aswan, we experience Nubian culture and bustling bazaars before drifting along the Nile on a traditional felucca. Downstream in Luxor, we explore hidden pharaoh tombs in the Valley of the Kings. We round off our trip at the beach resort of Hurghada, where we venture beneath the waves to discover the brightly coloured fish and corals of the Red Sea.
Rain is very rare in all parts of Egypt and most days are sunny and clear. Summer temperatures often near 40C (104F) but this is particularly true for the period between June and September. Winter can be surprisingly cold, especially on the Nile or at night. The average daytime maximum in Cairo in January is 20C (68F), nights are a minimum of 8C (46F). In summer, these temperatures are 35C (95F) and 22C (72F) respectively. Daytime temperatures are on average slightly higher in Aswan and can, on occasion, get close to 50C (122F).
This trip has been graded Activity 2 (Leisurely/Moderate) for children aged nine to 12, although it is also suitable for those aged 13 to 16.
Several days involve early starts but this allows us to get the most from our time in Egypt and avoid the highest temperatures. Driving is generally restricted to a few hours a day with a maximum drive time of approximately four hours.
Egypt can get hot, which can cause discomfort while travelling. Care should be taken to keep hydrated. The hottest months tend to be June to September when temperatures can exceed 40C (104F) in the south of the country.
The hotels we use are of a comfortable standard. The night on the sleeper train is in first-class cabins with shared bathroom facilities.
Ramadan is expected to run from approximately 10 March-10 April 2024 and 28 February-29 March 2025. One of the most important periods in the Islamic calendar, it is a special time to visit a Muslim country. Each evening, the streets empty as people head home to break the fast, followed by an air of festivity upon their return. Our leaders and drivers choose to work at this time so we continue to run trips; however, their energy levels may be slightly lower than normal. Many tourist sites, restaurants and shops will have an amended schedule, but your tour leader will know how to adapt the itinerary to still experience all the inclusions on this trip and maximise your experience during this special time.
