11-Day Family Tour Combining Culture, Cruise & Red Sea

This 11-day family Egypt tour covers four destinations: Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and Sharm El Sheikh, combining pharaonic sightseeing with a Nile Cruise and a Red Sea beach stay. It is the only 11-day Egypt tour that pairs the Nile Cruise with Sharm El Sheikh's beach resort, with age-appropriate activities, family-paced sightseeing, and kid-friendly meals built into every day. Three domestic flights connect all four destinations, removing long road transfers from the family schedule entirely. Travelers planning a longer cultural journey across the country can also explore other Egypt holiday tours that combine Cairo, Upper Egypt, and Red Sea destinations in different ways.

Beginning in Cairo, the journey starts with a Nile Dinner Cruise on Day 1 before exploring the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum on Day 2. Day 3 flies the family to Aswan to board the Nile Cruise and visit the Aswan High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and Philae Temple. Day 4 sails to the Temple of Edfu and Kom Ombo Temple, with a Galabeya Party on board in the evening. Days 5 and 6 cover Luxor's full monument inventory: the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor Temple, and Karnak Temple. From Day 7 through Day 9, the family settles into Sharm El Sheikh for three full days of Red Sea beaches and resort leisure. Day 10 flies back to Cairo for the final night before international departure on Day 11.

Itinerary

Your Tripidays guide meets the family at Cairo International Airport and transfers you directly to your hotel. The evening opens with a Nile Dinner Cruise, giving everyone a first look at Cairo's lit skyline from the water before the sightseeing days begin.

Nile Dinner Cruise
Tonight, treat your family to a magical Nile dinner cruise. Imagine your children laughing as soft breezes brush their faces, the river shimmering under Cairo's golden lights. Enjoy gourmet Egyptian dishes, lively cultural performances, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for your first family night in Egypt.

Meals
Dinner
Your guide picks the family up after breakfast for the short drive to the Giza Plateau. The day covers Egypt's three most recognised landmarks in one family-paced morning and afternoon, with the Grand Egyptian Museum added as the day's anchor stop.

The Giza Pyramids
Today, travel back in time with your children as you stand before the iconic Pyramids of Giza. Your expert guide shares captivating stories that kids can understand, sparking their imagination. The Great Pyramid, Khafre’s Pyramid, and Menkaure’s Pyramid are incredible on their own, but seeing them through your family’s eyes makes the experience unforgettable.

The Great Sphinx
You'll approach the Sphinx from the front, at ground level, which puts the full 73-metre length in perspective in a way the overhead photos never show. Your guide points out the original paint traces still visible on the headdress a detail most visitors walk past.

The Grand Egyptian Museum
Your family enters one of the largest archaeological museums ever built, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection 5,000 objects displayed together for the first time. Kids and adults move through at their own pace; the scale model of ancient Memphis is the reliable crowd-pleaser for younger visitors.

Meals
Breakfast and Lunch
An early domestic flight from Cairo to Aswan covers the distance in under two hours, cutting out what would otherwise be a full day of road travel. On arrival, your guide boards the family onto the Nile Cruise, and the first Aswan sites follow immediately. If your family prefers to skip the Nile Cruise entirely and fly between every city with hotel-based stays, our Egypt by flight — four-city family alternative covers Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, and Hurghada entirely by air.

High Dam Visit
You'll walk across the viewing platform above the dam and look out over Lake Nasser, the largest man-made lake in the world, at 550 kilometres long. Your guide explains the trade-off the dam created flood control gained, ancient sites nearly lost — in terms that land with younger visitors.

The Unfinished Obelisk
You'll crouch beside a crack in the granite that stopped the entire project 3,500 years ago, leaving the world's largest intended obelisk still lying on the quarry floor. It's the one site that makes ancient engineering feel genuinely fallible rather than perfect.

Philae Temple
Your guide walks the family across the water by motorboat to reach an island temple that was dismantled block by block and rebuilt on higher ground to save it from the Nile's rising waters. The approach by boat, especially in late afternoon light, is the moment most families point to when asked what they remember most.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
The Nile Cruise sails through the night and docks at Edfu before most families are awake. A horse-drawn carriage ride from the dock to the temple entrance is the standard approach — short, memorable, and a reliable hit with children. The afternoon brings Kom Ombo before the evening returns the family to the boat.

Edfu Temple
Your guide leads you into the best-preserved ancient temple in Egypt, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, where the original roof is still intact, and the interior corridors are genuinely dark and enclosed. Look up at the ceiling in the hypostyle hall, and you'll find astronomical carvings that ancient priests used to track the calendar.

Temple of Kom Ombo
You'll walk a double temple built for two gods simultaneously Sobek the crocodile and Horus the falcon each with its own entrance, sanctuary, and priest quarters running in parallel down the same axis. After a full day of exploration, the onboard crew dresses the family in traditional Egyptian galabeya robes for a lively evening of music, dancing, and cultural celebration on deck as the Nile Cruise continues sailing north.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
The cruise docks at Luxor in the morning. The West Bank holds Egypt's royal burial grounds — underground tombs cut directly into the cliffs of a valley, the ancient Egyptians believed sat at the edge of the underworld. Your guide paces the morning around the family's energy, not a fixed group schedule.

Valley of the Kings
You'll descend into tombs cut 30 metres below the desert floor, where painted walls have held their colour for more than 3,000 years in near-total darkness. Each tomb on your guide's selection tells a different story; no two interiors are the same, and the choice of which three to enter is made on the day based on crowd levels.

Hatshepsut Temple
Your guide walks the family up the collonaded terraces of a temple built for Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh, set directly against the cliff face of the western mountains. The scale only becomes clear when you're inside it. Three ascending levels cut into the rock, each one cooler and quieter than the last.

Colossi of Memnon
You'll pull up alongside two seated statues that have marked the entrance to the West Bank necropolis for 3,400 years, each one 18 metres tall and carved from a single block of quartzite. They're the fastest stop of the day and the most photographed. Your guide keeps it brief and uses the moment to frame what's coming next.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
The morning covers Luxor's two great East Bank temples before a domestic flight transfers the family to Sharm El Sheikh in the afternoon. This is the day the itinerary shifts register — from ancient stone to the Red Sea coast.

The Luxor Temple
You'll enter through an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes and pass beneath a pylon still decorated with the original battle reliefs of Ramesses II, 3,200 years after they were carved. At the far end of the complex, your guide shows the family a Roman chapel built directly inside an ancient Egyptian sanctuary, two civilisations layered on top of each other in a single room.

The Karnak Temple
Your guide walks the family into the Great Hypostyle Hall, where 134 columns rise so close together the sky almost disappears above you. It took more than 2,000 years and 30 successive pharaohs to build the full complex you're standing inside the largest religious site ever constructed.

Meals
Breakfast and Lunch
The family arrives at the Sharm El Sheikh resort after the short flight from Luxor. Day 7 is an orientation and settling-in day — pool, beach, and resort facilities at your own pace with no guide schedule.

Optional St. Catherine's Monastery
Take an optional tour of St. Catherine's Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the foot of Mount Sinai, before returning to Sharm El Sheikh for a relaxing evening.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
A full free day at the resort with no programme. Families typically use this day for snorkelling, glass-bottom boat trips, or simply staying in the water. Optional excursions are available through your guide on request.

Optional Ras Mohamed Tour
For families with adventurous kids, Ras Mohamed National Park offers vibrant fish, colourful corals, and crystal-clear waters, the perfect underwater adventure.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
The last full day in Sharm El Sheikh before tomorrow's departure flight. Families use the morning for a final swim and the afternoon to pack and prepare.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
The family boards the domestic flight from Sharm El Sheikh back to Cairo in the morning. The day is a transit and rest day — hotel check-in on arrival, free afternoon, no programme.

Meals
Breakfast and Lunch
Your Tripidays guide transfers the family to Cairo International Airport for your international departure. The 11-day family Egypt tour ends here. Families traveling over Christmas or New Year may prefer our festive family Egypt holiday option, which follows a similar temple-to-beach structure but adds a Christmas Eve dinner on the Nile and festive departures in Hurghada.
