Feluccas & Pharaohs Family Holiday

The best of Egypt on a trip which is full of fun and discovery!

Taking to the Nile you'll travel by age-old felucca sailboat, used by the Egyptians for centuries. Along the way you'll meet locals and enjoy the passing scenery. At night, you'll tie-up at the riverbank and listen to Nubian songs and drums around a campfire.

In Luxor you'll head to the famous Valley of the Kings, travelling by horse-drawn carriage to the mammoth temples of Karnak where you can learn to read hieroglyphs, telling of life thousands of years ago. You can also enjoy an optional hot air balloon ride. You'll head across the desert to Hurghada and spend a day snorkelling over colourful coral reefs from your boat. The Red Sea has many different fish for you to spot. Finally, back to Cairo for your last night in the Land of the Pharaohs!A great experience is to travel by overnight train in Egypt. You journey to Aswan, gateway to Nubia and Africa beyond, where you'll explore lively bazaars and eat a traditional meal at a Nubian house.

Your trip starts in Cairo, where kids and adults alike will be amazed by the imposing Pyramids at Giza. In the Egyptian Museum you'll see Tutankhamun's gold mask and other relics that avoided the clutches of grave robbers.
