Facile

Two to four kilometres on foot a day, in stretches of under an hour with the vehicle, shade or a seat between them. Expect sand at Giza and Saqqara, uneven ancient stone at the temples and sloping tomb corridors in the Valley of the Kings, often in strong sun. Mornings are for sightseeing and most afternoons for the pool or a rest, and anyone, of any age, can sit out any part of any visit.

Arrive in Cairo, stay by the pyramids

Cairo International Airport to your hotel in Giza, about 1 hour

  • Welcome dinner at the hotel
  • Nuit : Giza
  • Environ 1 h de route

Fly into Cairo International Airport (CAI). We meet you after arrivals, help with the bags and drive you west across the city, about an hour depending on traffic, to your hotel in Giza near the pyramid plateau. It is your base for three nights, so you unpack once and tomorrow's early start is minutes from the door instead of an hour in Cairo traffic. The hotel has a pool, and the rest of the day is free for children to swim and grandparents to rest after the flight.

Soir

In the early evening your See Sight Tours guide meets the families for a short briefing: why we sightsee in the mornings, which tickets are already booked, how the tipping pool works, and what children should pack for the sun and the river. Then a welcome dinner together at the hotel at about 6:30 pm, so nobody has to go out again after a long journey.

Compris

  • Pick-up at Cairo International Airport (CAI)
  • Welcome briefing with your guide
  • Welcome dinner at the hotel

Temps libre : Rest of the day free at the hotel pool

Activité : Any arrival time works on day 1. If your flight lands after the briefing, your guide catches you up at breakfast and dinner is kept for you.

Faune et météo : Late October and November can still be hot by midday, which is why sightseeing is in the morning. December and January are mild by day but cold at dawn, so bring a warm layer for the balloon and early starts. Balloon flights depend on the wind and are sometimes grounded; we then watch sunrise from the West Bank by road.

Les prix indiqués dans ces réponses s'appliquent à compter du 1er janv. 2027. Offre du Vendredi fou : 8 % de rabais sur le prix en petit groupe pour les demandes reçues au plus tard le 1er déc. 2026.

What age do children need to be?

Six and up, travelling with a parent or grandparent. Every day is planned to work for a 9-year-old and a 70-year-old: sightseeing in the mornings, a pool or rest most afternoons and dinner by about 6:30 pm. The balloon operator sets its own minimum age and height, and children below it stay on the ground with an adult.

Is there a price for children?

Not a published one yet. Prices are per person sharing a room, and children's prices depend on the hotels, the boat cabins and the flights on your dates. Ask when you request to book and we quote your family's price before anything is charged.

What does the price include?

Eight nights in hotels with pools and on a Nile boat, 8 breakfasts, 7 lunches and 5 dinners, flights from Cairo to Aswan, to Abu Simbel and back and from Luxor to Cairo, our own vehicle and driver, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, every entry in the day plan, the felucca, the Nubian family dinner, the balloon and a tipping pool.

How big is the group, and will we be with other families?

Seven to 12 guests, counting children, on a departure planned for families travelling across generations, so the pace and the dinners suit everyone. A family of six or more usually fits best on the private trip, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle.

Can grandparents manage the pyramids and the tombs?

Yes, if they walk comfortably for about half an hour at a time. Our vehicle crosses the Giza plateau, the museum has lifts and seats, and in the Valley of the Kings anyone can see one tomb and wait in the shade. Nobody has to go inside a pyramid.

How long are the drives?

Short. The longest is Edfu to Luxor, about two hours with a stop. Abu Simbel is a 45-minute flight from Aswan instead of about seven hours of desert road in a day, and we fly between Cairo and Aswan and from Luxor back to Cairo.

I am a grandparent travelling with one grandchild. What is the single supplement?

If you share a room with your grandchild, there is no supplement: you each pay the twin-share price, with any child price we can offer. A traveller who wants a room alone pays a supplement from CAD 790.

When is the best time to go with children?

Late October to April. Late October to early December and February to March are the most comfortable; the December holidays and March break suit school calendars but are busier. We do not run this version from May to September, when the heat is hard on children and grandparents.

Do Canadians need a visa for Egypt?

Yes. Canadian passport holders can usually buy a visa on arrival at Cairo airport or apply for an e-visa in advance, and passports need at least six months of validity. Children need their own passports. We confirm the current rules when you book.

How does booking work?

Request to book with your dates and the ages of everyone travelling. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 4,385 per person sharing, with taxes.

Can our family travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. The private trip is for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide, vehicle and driver, from CAD 7,895 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we quote it separately.

Is the food safe for children?

Included meals are at hotels, on the boat and at restaurants our guide knows, with plain options such as grilled chicken, rice, bread and fruit alongside Egyptian dishes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Drink bottled or filtered water, which the vehicle carries.
