Top family-friendly destinations in Egypt

Sharm el Sheikh

Sharm el Sheikh, famous for its sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters and coral reefs, is one of Egypt’s top family destinations. Highlights include dives into the Red Sea’s translucent waters and snorkelling trips in Shark’s Bay. If you want to get your adrenaline pumping, there are also family-friendly adventures like quad biking or camel riding in the desert.

Cairo

Cairo’s wow factor is undeniable. Venture inside the Great Pyramid of Giza – one of the seven wonders of the ancient world – see the giant Sphinx paws or marvel at Tutankhamun’s treasures at the Egyptian Museum. Round off your adventure with a sunset camel ride or a boat trip up the Nile and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable family holiday.

Hurghada

For a holiday packed with activities for kids, look to Hurghada. The city’s beaches are perfect for sunbathing and paddling and when the kids want more action, Makadi Water World doesn’t disappoint. For local charm, explore Sakalla’s bustling markets and El Daha’s historic streets, or embark on a desert island adventure with a boat trip to nearby Giftun Island.
