8 Days Cairo, Nile Cruise & Alexandria Family Vacation in Egypt

Your first day of the 8 Days Cairo, Nile Cruise & Alexandria Family Vacation begins calmly. After landing in Cairo, one of our delegates will be waiting to assist with passport procedures and luggage. You will then meet your private guide and driver at the airport, who will take you to your hotel so you can settle in, rest a little, and gently ease into the rhythm of the city.

Nile Dinner Cruise:

In the evening, your guide returns to take you on a relaxing Nile Dinner Cruise. The atmosphere on the river feels completely different from the city; gentle air, soft lights reflecting on the water, and the slow movement of the boat create a warm and easy-going mood. You will enjoy dinner while listening to music and watching simple live performances, with your guide nearby to handle all arrangements and ensure a smooth return to the hotel.

Meals: Dinner

After breakfast at your hotel, your guide meets you to start a full day around the heart of Cairo’s history. It’s a day that mixes iconic sites with quieter corners and ends with a balance of culture and atmosphere.

Giza Pyramids Complex:

The whole plateau opens wide around you; sand, sky, and structures that feel both familiar and overwhelming at the same time. Your guide walks you through the area at a gentle pace so you can take in the scale and details.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

Standing close to it changes everything. The size, the precision, and the way the blocks catch the sun make it the highlight of Giza for a reason, and spending a few minutes simply standing in front of it always feels grounding.

The Great Sphinx:

Calm, still, and carved directly into the rock. Seeing it up close brings out its expression and the softness of its profile, something you don’t really notice from photos.

The Valley Temple:

A quiet limestone hall once used for rituals. Its clean lines and cool interior offer a nice contrast to the open pyramid plateau outside.

The Grand Egyptian Museum:

A modern space filled with light and open areas. Your guide takes you through key sections so you can enjoy the masterpieces without feeling rushed.

After the museum, you’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant, then continue to:

Khan El Khalili Bazaar:

Narrow alleys, handmade crafts, old cafés, and a mix of voices that give the place its character. Your guide helps you explore smoothly without getting lost in the crowd.

By the end of the day, your driver will take you to Cairo Airport to catch your flight to Aswan.

Once you arrive, your guide will take you to your hotel to settle in for the night.

This day forms a peaceful chapter within your 8 Days Egypt Family Vacation, where comfort and discovery come together naturally.

The High Dam:

A simple structure at first glance, but once you step up to the viewpoint, the horizon opens into a stretch of blue water that feels almost endless. The silence around the lake gives the place its weight and calm atmosphere.

The Unfinished Obelisk:

A huge block lying exactly where ancient builders left it. The cracks, tool marks, and rough surfaces make it feel more honest and human than any polished monument.

Philae Temple:

You reach the temple by a small boat gliding over clear water. Philae sits quietly on its island, with carved walls that catch the light in a way that softens everything around you. The visit feels peaceful, delicate, and beautifully preserved.

After the visits and lunch, your guide will escort you to the cruise for check-in.

The afternoon is yours; just the river, the slow movement of the ship, and space to breathe.

Kom Ombo Temple:

A perfectly symmetrical temple standing right beside the water. The carvings feel almost fresh, especially the medical scenes that show tiny details of ancient practices. The open layout of the site makes the entire visit feel calm and unhurried.

After returning to the cruise, lunch is served on board. The rest of the afternoon is simply sailing; quiet moments on deck, soft light, and the steady rhythm of the Nile surrounding you.
