Egypt is a wonderful destination for families. It's friendly and hospitable and has attractions that appeal to all ages. This private family tour of Egypt is ideal for a families wanting to experience the iconic highlights of the country in an educational, fun and immersive way. Artisans of Leisure travelers are escorted throughout Egypt by one of the country's top private Egyptologist guides (including on the luxury Nile River cruise) and have their own private drivers in each location.

See mummies in the Egyptian Museum and enjoy a private excursion to the Pyramids of Giza, a world-renowned and UNESCO-listed burial complex that includes pyramids, tombs, temples, the Solar Boat and the Great Sphinx. Enjoy a camel ride by the Pyramids, and, in the evening, watch the sound and light show at the Pyramids. Depending on your family's interests, we can arrange a variety of family-friendly activities around Cairo, such as a cooking class, desert ATV excursion and hands-on crafts lessons to learn to make papyrus or read a few ancient hieroglyphics. If desired, we can also arrange visits to Cairo's top boutiques and reservations at the best restaurants in town.

Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange VIP experiences such as exclusive access to well-preserved tombs that are not open to the public and after-hours private tours of major sites such as the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza.

Next, enjoy a three-night luxury Nile River cruise. Tour extraordinary archaeological sites such as the stunning Temple of Philae, the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan, the Temple of Horus (Edfu) and the Temple of Kom Ombo. Around Luxor, visit Luxor Temple and the Karnak complex, Medinet Habu, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, including the tombs of King Tut and Ramses VI. We will also arrange access to the spectacular tombs of Seti I and Queen Nefertari. Throughout the cruise, Artisans of Leisure will arrange private shore excursions with your own Egyptologist guide. If desired, we can arrange an early-morning hot-air balloon ride in Luxor or a side trip to the beautiful temples of Abu Simbel.

Return to Cairo to continue private touring. Learn about different types of foods and spices in fascinating markets, walk among the overflowing stalls in the lively Khan al-Khalili bazaar, and learn about Cairo's history and culture at the Citadel, the Hanging Church and other important sites.
