101 Short Breaks

Egypt

Will and Sally's verdict

If your kids are into adventure, Indiana Jones or hieroglyphic code-breaking, Egypt makes an exciting and educational destination. The secret to a successful trip is to combine fun with fact – something that On the Go Tours achieve with camel rides, sailing on the Nile and snorkelling in the Red Sea. We also like their choice of hotels – each one with that all-important pool.

Family holiday Egypt 2011Tintin holidays

On the Go Tours says

Whether your children have a fascination for hieroglyphics, love to read about the ancient Kings of Egypt, want to ride a camel or simply enjoy history, a family holiday in Egypt will be richly rewarding.

One of the key advantages is the excellent choice of great value four and five star hotels with swimming pools, providing a luxurious and relaxing base in which to catch your breath after each day’s sight-seeing.

Add to that the opportunity to enjoy camel rides at the Pyramids, visit a local primary school, wander around a village market with a local family on Sahal island, ride in a horse-drawn carriage to Luxor Temple and enjoy a day under sail, cruising along the Nile on board a traditional felucca.

We offer two different tour options in Egypt, each of them specifically designed with families in mind (for ages five up to 17 years).

You can either join a tour with other families or we can arrange a private itinerary for you; the latter is especially popular for two families travelling together.

New for 2011 are our Tintin family holidays in Egypt (and Jordan and India), where you will follow in the footsteps of the bold adventurer. Your children may not have discovered Tintin for themselves as yet, but we’ll bet that mums, dads and grandparents are familiar with his adventures in North Africa.

On the Go Tours also offers family adventures in China and Morocco.
