Cairo & the Red Sea family adventure

This morning, your private guide and driver will meet you at your hotel for a half-day tour of the Giza pyramids and Sphinx. Your family are shown around the expansive complex and given the chance to go inside the Great Pyramid. Afterwards, you take a short camel ride across the Giza plateau, a great opportunity to take some memorable photos. The rest of the day is spent at leisure. You could enjoy the hotel pool or head down to Khan el-Khalili to do some shopping in the souq.

Today, you have some time at leisure in the morning. We recommend visiting the wonderfully disorganised Egyptian Museum, home to many Pharaonic treasures, most notably Tutankhamun’s death mask. In the afternoon, the family head out on a food tour downtown and can try a range of Egyptian and Cairene cuisine. You visit around six stops and sample various food and beverages, from Egyptian classics such as ta'amiya, ful, and kosheri, to juices such as sugar cane and tamarind.

Your private driver collects your family from your downtown hotel, and you travel to Cairo International Airport for your short domestic flight to Hurghada. The flight takes around one hour and ten minutes. On arrival, you are met by a local Audley representative who escorts you through the airport to your waiting private driver, who drives you to the Movenpick Resort El Quseir. The resort lies around two hours south of Hurghada.

Spend the day at leisure. We suggest choosing a family room with a sea view at the Movenpick Resort El Quseir so you wake up on your first morning to views of the Red Sea. The Red Sea is a world-class diving and snorkelling destination, with sites perfectly suited to all ages, levels of ability and experience. The hotel has a private beach and reef right in front of it, making it easily accessible.

Your hotel stay is on a half-board basis, so breakfast and dinner are included. There are a variety of on-site restaurants to choose from, which cater to even the fussiest eaters. This includes buffet-style international food and an Italian restaurant.

Numerous activities are available on water and dry land, which can be booked directly through the hotel. This includes jeep and quad bike safaris into the desert and across the sand dunes nearby, which offers exhilarating fun for the family. Alternatively, the spa and pool facilities provide the chance to relax and unwind for family members who would prefer.

This morning, your family will be picked up by your private driver and transferred back to Hurghada Airport for your onward flight home. You will be met by a local representative who will assist you through the airport as you conclude another amazing family adventure. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
