Nile Valley Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Egypt Family Holiday
Noha made everything so easy for us. We visited amazing sites with no effort required from our side. We could have done with a bit more free time (all the early mornings, to miss the worst heat of the day, started taking their toll towards the end of the holiday). We loved everything about Egypt - the amazing sites, the food and the people!
- Egyptian Family Adventure - 9 Days
Good experienced guide, vast knowledge of history
- Egyptian Family Adventure & Red Sea - 13 days
Alam was an amazing guide and completely looked after us on the Family Tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and having a young kid himself, he understood the level of detail to cover with us before the kids got bored. All the logistics worked perfectly and we loved the hotels on the Nile and the sights were just incredible. My son left his cuddly toys in Aswan and I mentioned this to Alam one morning (we were now in Luxor). Somehow he worked his magic and my son was reunited with his toys the next day despite us being hours by train from where he left them. My thanks to Alam for a wonderful trip and being such a great guy. Book with Alam and you will be very happy
What our customers ask about Nile Valley Family Tours & Vacation Packages
What's the best time of year for families to visit the Nile Valley?
Families find the most pleasant conditions from October to April with moderate temperatures throughout Upper Egypt including Luxor and Aswan. While December and January mark the high season the weather creates good conditions for exploring.

What are the best family-friendly activities and attractions in Nile Valley?
The Nile Valley provides activities that keep children engaged while delighting adults too. Families can ride camels near the Giza Pyramids take traditional felucca boats on the Nile and visit local schools in Aswan during term time. Children often enjoy exploring the tombs in the Valley of the Kings while parents appreciate the comfort of 5-star Nile cruises with pools and entertainment. As one TourRadar traveler noted "The Nile cruise was really beautiful and relaxing we enjoyed it very much!" The temples of Abu Simbel and morning balloon rides over Luxor add extra excitement for families.
What accommodations are best suited for families in the Nile Valley?
Family-friendly options range from upscale hotels like the Steigenberger Nile Palace in Luxor to well-appointed Nile cruise ships. Hotels typically offer connecting rooms and extra beds while cruise ships provide family cabins and activities for all ages. A TourRadar review confirms: "The cruise was fantastic - our cabin was plenty big enough and the buffet meals offered great options for the whole family."
What's the recommended duration for a family trip to the Nile Valley?
An 8-12 day trip gives families enough time to see key sites without rushing. A common schedule includes 3-4 days exploring Cairo and Giza 3-4 days on a Nile cruise and 2-3 days in Luxor or Hurghada. Travelers report "Having 12 days gave us the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation time by the pool which was essential with kids."
What educational experiences are available for children?
Children can join hands-on activities throughout the Nile Valley including hieroglyph workshops at the Egyptian Museum craft demonstrations and guided historical storytelling at ancient sites.
