Overview
Pyramids, boat trips on the Nile and snorkelling in the Red Sea: for school-age children these are stories straight out of a picture book. The best time to travel is from October to April, because in the summer months it gets too hot for children. The flight time of four to four and a half hours is, thanks to the proximity, quite manageable for families. Hurghada and El Gouna on the Red Sea are places for long beach days with a safe entry into the water, often with family rooms and kids' clubs.
Luxor, with its temples and the Valley of the Kings, is a destination for older children who want to experience history, and it is best visited early in the morning, before the sun becomes too strong. Aswan on the Nile stays quiet, and you sail on the traditional felucca, a sailing boat that also fascinates children. Important to know: tap water is not suitable for drinking, use bottled water only, even for brushing teeth. A visa is required for entry, as visa on arrival or eVisa, which should be checked beforehand.
In mosques, covered clothing is a sign of respect. Cash remains useful in many situations, and tipping ('Baksheesh') is customary.
