Start your Egypt family holiday by exploring the Pyramids of Giza, built during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty (circa 2575–2465 BCE), which are iconic symbols of ancient Egyptian culture and engineering. The Great Pyramid, constructed for Pharaoh Khufu, was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years. His son Khafre built the second pyramid, often linked to the Great Sphinx, while the third and smallest pyramid was built for Pharaoh Menkaure. These structures showcase Egypt's advanced engineering, social organization, and spiritual beliefs, standing as enduring monuments to their civilization over 4,500 years later.
Continue your family tour with a visit to the Valley Temple of Pharaoh Khafre, an ancient Egyptian masterpiece built around 2570 BCE during the Fourth Dynasty. Part of Khafre's funerary complex, it sits alongside the second largest pyramid at Giza and the iconic Great Sphinx, both likely constructed during his reign (circa 2558–2532 BCE). Khafre, son of Pharaoh Khufu (builder of the Great Pyramid), helped advance the architectural and cultural legacy of the Old Kingdom. Built from limestone and Aswan granite, the Valley Temple was used for mummification rituals to prepare the pharaoh for the afterlife. Guided tours provide insights into the rituals, symbolism, and design of this remarkable civilization.
The Great Sphinx of Giza, built during Pharaoh Khafre's reign (circa 2558–2532 BCE), is a 73 meter long limestone statue with a lion's body and a human head, symbolizing strength and divine authority. Part of Khafre’s mortuary complex, it has stood for over 4,500 years. Renewal efforts began in the New Kingdom under Pharaoh Thutmose IV, who constructed the “Dream Stele” linking the Sphinx to his kingship. Modern excavations started in 1817, but its construction methods and original purpose remain debated, preserving its status as a symbol of ancient Egyptian ingenuity and mystery.
Take a fun family break and enjoy a tasty Egyptian lunch filled with authentic flavors everyone will love. Sit back, relax, and take in the amazing views of Cairo’s bustling city while you eat. It’s a perfect way to spend quality time together and create unforgettable memories together.

Begin your family vacation in Alexandria at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, dating back to the 2nd century AD, which is a fascinating Roman era burial site blending Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences. Originally built for a wealthy Roman family, it later became a shared necropolis. Its chambers feature intricate carvings of Egyptian deities in Greco-Roman styles and Roman motifs, reflecting Alexandria's rich multicultural heritage during its time as a thriving hub of culture and trade.
Explore Pompey's Pillar, a 30 meter granite column in Alexandria, Egypt, built in 297 AD to honor Roman Emperor Diocletian. Known for stabilizing the Roman Empire, Diocletian suppressed a revolt in Alexandria and supplied grain during a famine. Despite its name, the pillar has no link to Pompey the Great and remains a testament to Roman engineering and Diocletian’s legacy in Egypt.
The Qaitbay Citadel in Alexandria, built in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay during the Mamluk Sultanate, was designed to defend Egypt from Ottoman invasions. It stands on the historic site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The lighthouse, built around 280 BC under Ptolemy II, was damaged by earthquakes between 956 and 1323 AD. Parts of its ruins were used in constructing the citadel, which showcases medieval military architecture and Alexandria’s rich history. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into the past and stunning views of the Mediterranean.
Take a break from your family adventures and enjoy a tasty lunch at one of Alexandria's beautiful restaurants. These spots combine delicious food with a cozy, family atmosphere.
End your family journey at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern tribute to the ancient Library of Alexandria, once a hub of learning and home to scholars like Euclid and Archimedes.

After visiting the Aswan High Dam, you and your family will explore the Unfinished Obelisk, a remarkable piece of ancient history. Commissioned during Pharaoh Hatshepsut’s reign (1507–1458 BCE), this massive granite structure was meant to be the largest obelisk ever, at 42 meters tall and 1,200 tons.
