Family Egypt

Egypt

For winter sun, warm sea and the best diving within easy reach of Europe, Egypt’s Red Sea coast is the place to go, with excellent, family-friendly resorts and top class facilities.

On the way to or from the Red Sea, stop off in Cairo to visit the nearby pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza. To eyes young or old, the Great Pyramid – the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – is an awesome sight. It contains over two million blocks of stone, took 20,000 workers 20 years to build and was the tallest building in the world for more than 4,000 years.

Once you’ve stood and gawped at this extraordinary feat of engineering, take a relaxing boat trip down the Nile in a private felucca (traditional wooden sailing boat) or relax at our recommended hotel in the shadow of the pyramids, where facilities include a large pool, tennis courts, horse riding and an 18-hole golf course.

Once on the Red Sea, our recommended hotels have professional, in-house dive centres that are the perfect environment for learning to dive. Once qualified, the beautiful underwater world can be explored at dozens of dive sites, including numerous shipwrecks and the colourful reefs of the Ras Mohammed National Marine Park.

Here your urchins can come face-to-face with their marine equivalents and other spectacular sea life such as parrotfish, lionfish and turtles. For children too young to dive, there is still great snorkelling and all kinds of other activities on land and sea. There are excellent kids clubs, tennis courts and private sandy beaches with a variety of watersports on offer. Original Travel can also organise excursions such as boat trips or camel rides in the desert. For parents, there are spa treatments and excellent restaurants to enjoy.

Don't take our word for it...

It was absolutely fantastic and Original’s incredible organisation meant that we could float from place to place without ever having to even think and it was really all a bit of a dream!

All in all it really was the most wonderful honeymoon and exactly as we had wanted and imagined; an active but very special holiday, seeing some amazing and beautiful places, doing some really fantastic activities and staying in such comfortable and charming hotels, and all without having to even think about it! Our itinerary was lovely and full but in no way were we ever stressed or exha
