A friendly representative from Egypt Tours Group will meet your family at the airport, assist with arrival formalities, and escort you to your hotel for a smooth and comfortable check-in, allowing everyone to settle in and relax after the flight.

Nile Dinner Cruise:

In the evening, your guide will pick you up for a gentle introduction to Egypt with a relaxing Nile dinner cruise. As the river glows under soft lights and the city slowly passes by, you’ll enjoy a warm Egyptian buffet accompanied by light live performances. It’s a calm and enjoyable way to spend your first evening together before returning to the hotel for a restful night in Cairo.

After breakfast at the hotel, your guide will meet your family for a full day exploring Cairo’s most iconic landmarks. The day is planned to move smoothly from one site to the next, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience comfortably as part of a well-organized Nile Cruise and Hurghada Family Tour.

The Pyramids Complex:

You begin the day by walking across the main plateau where the three pyramids stand together. The open space gives a clear sense of scale, while your guide explains how the area was designed and the role each pyramid played within the funerary complex.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

Stopping directly at Khufu’s pyramid allows you to truly appreciate its size and structure. Standing close to the massive stone blocks makes the engineering feel more real, as your guide shares clear and simple details about how the pyramid was built and arranged inside.

The Great Sphinx:

A short drive brings you to the Great Sphinx, resting quietly between the desert and the pyramids. You’ll have time to walk around, take photos, and listen as your guide explains the story behind its unique face and body.

The Valley Temple:

Located beside the Sphinx, the Valley Temple offers a look into the craftsmanship of ancient builders. Inside, you’ll notice the clean stone walls and carefully shaped pillars that reveal how the inner rooms were constructed.

Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM):

In the afternoon, you head to the Grand Egyptian Museum. Your guide leads you through the main halls, highlighting selected artifacts that reflect royal life, fine craftsmanship, and the everyday objects used by ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago.

After the museum visit, you’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the airport for your flight to Aswan.

Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred directly to your Nile Cruise, where you can check in, settle into your cabin, and enjoy a relaxed evening onboard.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

After breakfast onboard the cruise, your guide will meet your family in the lobby to begin a calm day exploring Aswan. The city feels softer and quieter than Cairo or Luxor, with gentle waters and muted colors that set a relaxed pace for the day. This peaceful atmosphere fits naturally within your 8 Days Nile Cruise & Hurghada Family Tour.

The High Dam:

You begin with a visit to the High Dam. While the structure itself is simple, the wide views over Lake Nasser are open and calming. Your guide explains how the dam reshaped the flow of the Nile and helped protect Egypt from seasonal flooding.

The Unfinished Obelisk:

Next, you walk through the granite quarry where the Unfinished Obelisk still rests in its original position. The visible cracks, tool marks, and enormous scale clearly show how ancient stonework was carried out, offering a fascinating and easy-to-understand insight for all ages.

Philae Temple:

A short boat ride takes you to Philae Island, where the gentle movement of the water creates a peaceful approach to the temple. Inside, the elegant columns and finely carved reliefs stand out clearly as your guide walks you through the temple’s main stories in a smooth and engaging way.

After completing your visits, you return to the cruise for lunch. The rest of the afternoon remains free to relax onboard, with dinner served later in the evening as the ship stays quietly moored.

After breakfast onboard, the cruise continues sailing north while your guide joins your family for two temple visits, each offering a different atmosphere and story. The smooth pace of the day, combined with gentle sailing on the Nile, makes this a relaxing and enjoyable part of a family Nile Cruise Egypt experience.

Kom Ombo Temple:

Your first stop is Kom Ombo Temple, an open-air site with a unique twin design that gives it a balanced and symmetrical feel. As you walk through the temple, the carvings reveal scenes of ancient medical tools, religious rituals, and moments from daily life, all explained clearly and simply by your guide.

Edfu Temple:

Later, you arrive at Edfu Temple, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Its towering walls and well-defined inner chambers feel remarkably intact, creating the impression that the temple has remained unchanged for centuries.

After completing your visits, you return to the cruise for lunch and continue sailing along the Nile, enjoying the passing scenery from the deck. Dinner is served onboard later in the evening, as the night remains calm and relaxed.

This day of your Family Trip to Egypt is longer than usual, yet carefully paced to stay smooth and comfortable. After breakfast, you check out from the cruise and begin a full day exploring Luxor’s most important sites before continuing toward the Red Sea.

Karnak Temple:

You start at Karnak Temple, a vast and layered complex that reflects centuries of ancient construction. Walking through the Hypostyle Hall, the towering columns immediately give a powerful sense of how monumental these temples once were.

Valley of the Kings:

Next, you head to the Valley of the Kings. Inside the tombs, the vivid colors and finely detailed wall scenes still appear remarkably fresh, with each tomb carrying its own unique atmosphere and story.

Hatshepsut Temple:

You then continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Its wide terraces rise naturally from the cliffs behind, creating a calm and balanced setting that feels both elegant and peaceful.

Colossi of Memnon:

Before leaving Luxor, you stop at the Colossi of Memnon. Standing alone in the open fields, the two statues maintain their quiet presence, unchanged after thousands of years.
