Luxury Egypt Family Trips made for you

Luxurious private family trips to Egypt

Unforgetable ancient history, desert adventures and beautiful beaches

Embark on an unforgettable Egypt family tour with Jacada, journeying through Egypt’s desert landscapes to learn about the country’s rich history and culture. A family trip to Egypt promises fascinating discoveries of incredible ancient civilisations – and enthralling and engaging guided excursions.

Start by delving into the wonders of the capital, Cairo, where you can all try your hand at the ancient art of hieroglyphics and uncover Egypt’s history in its renowned museums. The city is also a great place to sample delicious street food and traditional dishes that will tempt all taste buds, particularly at enticing rows of stalls selling tasty sweets and pastries.

The highlight for many families is getting up close to the legendary Pyramids of Giza, one of the Wonders of the Ancient World, standing tall as a testament to Egypt’s architectural brilliance. Witnessing the grandeur of these ancient monuments in person is an awe-inspiring moment for travellers of all ages, particularly under the guidance of one our exceptional Egyptologists.

No Egypt family tour would be complete without an exhilarating desert adventure in the Sahara. Older children can go on a thrilling dune buggy ride across the sand. Everyone will enjoy camping under the stars and taking refreshing dips in the natural pools in the oasis of Siwa. For a dose of relaxation at the beach, the Red Sea offers crystal-clear waters for snorkelling or diving among vibrant coral reefs and colourful marine life.

Spend an evening watching the colourful light and sound show at the ruins of Karnak in Luxor, a great way to get little ones excited about history. For a complete immersion in culture, travel to Aswan and the Numbian villages that surround the city to learn about the important cultural heritage and way of life here.

Our team of Egypt travel designers have extensive experience in curating tailor-made family trips, ensuring each journey is perfectly suited to your family’s interests, preferences and schedule. Whether it’s history, adventure or relaxation, we’ll create a bespoke itinerary that includes the best experiences and luxurious accommodation every step of the way.
