Cairo
/ Aswan / Luxor
Fully Escorted
8 days/ 7 nights
Weekly departures year round
This is a tour
designed for families with children ranging in age from
preschool to teens. While the program features introduction
to the major historic sites of Egypt it does so in a
"hands on" environment by exposing them (the children)
to a living history example of what life was like in
ancient Egypt for both the royal families and the workers.
Instead of being "tombed out" by repetitious visitations
to places that after a few days all resemble one another,
they are transported in time to relive the adventure
and thrill of events as they occurred. Not only that,
but they will be entertained by camel rides into the
desert, sailing on the Nile in a Felucca (native sailboat),
entering a pyramid and feeling the mystery, climbing
around old fortresses and perhaps, should you desire,
a hot air balloon ride over the Necropolis of Thebes.
They will come to know the sophisticated city children
of Cairo and the village children of upper Egypt.
And
yet they will have time to enjoy the family oriented
first class hotels, chosen especially for this tour,
that offer not only fine accommodations but giant swimming
pools, entertainment centers, playgrounds and all kinds
of sports activities. Regardless of anything else it
is the guide who makes a trip special. Your guides are
all fathers and grandfathers, men who have raised children
and know their moods and levels of interest and understanding
plus how to keep them entertained.
