Family Holiday in Egypt
Rating (9/10)
Egypt is a wonderful destination for families whether you’re looking for an educational trip full of history or a relaxing trip full of tomfoolery. Or indeed a cheeky combo of the two. Red Sea resorts like Sharm el Sheikh at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula have long been family holiday favorites, especially in the winter, for their beautiful beaches, reasonable flight times and affordable luxury accommodation. Plus no jet lag. If you do travel in the summer months think very carefully about taking young children, who will find the heat even more difficult to bear. The best time to travel to Egypt is between October and May. Outside of these months the beaches get very hot and the weather can be a little too warm for some of the activities the adventure trips offer. In resorts like Sharm el Sheikh you'll be able to offer the family almost any kind of cuisine. Shish kebab, greens and tomato salad make a regular appearance on menus, as do locally caught fish at resorts. Generally, eating out is inexpensive, if you eat like an Egyptian, but if you want imported brands of goods like cereals, coffee, or anything else imported, you should expect it to be a bit pricey. On an escorted family adventure holiday meals are taken in a mix of places, from inside your hotels, to local restaurants to eating a meal in a traditional Nubian home with a local family. Winter deals to Egypt will cost anywhere from $450 to over a grand per adult, depending on when you go and where you stay. A ten day adventure holiday, including flights will cost around a $1000 per adult.
