Journey back in time in the land of the
Pharaohs. There cannot be many
places that excite the
imagination as much as
Egypt.
We uncover the secrets of the
Ancient Pharaohs on a tour that
takes us from the massive
Pyramids at Giza
to the deep tombs cut into the
earth at the Valley of the Kings.
We ride donkeys in Luxor,
snorkel in the Red Sea with its
fantastic coral and marine life
and haggle in the markets for
souvenirs.
An adventure not to be missed!

this tour:
This is a 'small group family
adventure' - typically you will
join several other families and
travel in a group of approx. 16
people. The trips are great
value and a great way for you
and your children to meet new
people! While itineraries are
pre-planned there is some
flexibility and you'll have
plenty of time to yourselves.
Most adventure kids tend to be
aged between 7 and 15, but some
are younger (minimum age 6)
and some older (perhaps
travelling as part of a larger
family group). Please check with
the operator to confirm the
minimum age for this trip.
