Egyptian Family Adventure

• Child Discount (6-13) - UK£-160

This discount option can be applied for all children aged from 6 to 13 at the date of travel. Please contact us if you would like advice about rooming arrangements for your family

• Single Room Supplement - UK£220

If you have any single travellers in your party, then if you want to guarantee them a single room, then you can add this single supplement option to cover all the hotels used in the tour. Triple rooms or extra beds are available for children to share their parents room if required. NOTE: If you have a family with 2 or more children aged 15 or under at the date of travel, then they will both receive their normal child discounts, but we will need to add one of these single supplements to your total tour price. Please contact us if you have any questions about room allocations and prices for your family

• Abu Simbel Tour (overland) - UK£65

The awesome temples at Abu Simbel are a must see for anyone travelling to Egypt. Lying 280 km south of Aswan these remarkable temples were dismantled and rebuilt stone by stone to escape the rising waters of lake Nasser, and stand as a testament to the greatness of the Pharaoh Ramses II, and to modern engineering. We travel in a private minibus/coach and join the early morning escorted convoy which departs Aswan at 04.30, returning by around midday (approx. 3 hours drive each way, with 2 hours at the temples, timed to be shortly after sunrise). An Egyptologist guide and the entrance fee (approx. US$15) are included. Our itineraries are designed so that you do not miss out on any other activities if you choose this option.

• Early finish discount (9-day tour) - UK£0

If you want to make this a 9-day tour, running from Saturday to Sunday, and fitting into your children's half-term holiday, then the tour itinerary is designed to allow this. You take the overnight sleeper train back to Cairo in the evening of Day 8 (Saturday), arriving in Cairo in the morning on Day 9 (Sunday). We will provide a day-use hotel room until we transfer you to the airport for an afternoon flight home. Alternatively, you can fly back from Luxor to Cairo in the evening on Day 8 (Saturday) and take any flight home on Day 9 (Sunday). This discount option covers the cost of the short tour, dinner cruise and overnight hotel room that you will not use in Cairo on Day 9.

• Hot Air Balloon Flight - Luxor - UK£95

This spectacular flight runs early in the morning over the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor, so that you catch the sunrise over the Valleys of the Kings & Queens, temples and desert. Start times vary through the year, but the option is priced to use one of the very first flights in the morning that are timed to fit with the rising sun. You get around 1 hour in the air. We normally book the flight for the morning before your West Bank tour). There is a minimum number of people required for the trips to run, and weather conditions are also an issue, so we can't guarantee that the trip will run everyday (they are rarely cancelled however). You can either book and pay for this option in advance to secure a sunrise flight, or arrange it when you get to Egypt when we can't guarantee this. Once booked and paid for, refunds are not available if you choose not to do the option while you are in Egypt, though of course if it is cancelled we will refund you in full.

• Nile Cruise Upgrade - UK£150

If you wish to take a luxury cruise instead of the basic felucca sailboat cruise, then we offer this option. You check on board a luxury 5-star cruise boat for 3 days and 3 nights on the Nile. During the day we make our way slowly downriver from Aswan to Luxor, relaxing in the sun and watching Egyptian life on the banks of the Nile drift by. In the evenings we dine on classical Egyptian and western food and listen to the distinctive sounds of traditional music in the sumptuous surroundings of the cruise boat. On our way we stop at Edfu Temple, a well-preserved complex dedicated to the God Horus; and also at Komombo, where there are the remains of a temple dedicated to the Gods Sobek and Haroeris (Komombo visit not included in tour price). The final night of the cruise is spent moored in the centre of Luxor. All your meals are included. Twin cabins with an extra bed are available on the boat, which can take 2 adults and one child. Triple cabins are not generally available and a single supplement will be added if you need a single cabin.

• Cairo to Aswan Flight Upgrade - UK£0

Should you wish, you have the option of spending another night at your hotel in Cairo and taking the early morning flight to Aswan, instead of the sleeper train. All transfers are included.
Note: Flight prices quoted above are approximate and given only as a guide. Further information and exact prices will be given upon final confirmation of your booking.

• Extra Night in Cairo pre-tour - 4-star - UK£40

This option adds an extra night to the start of your tour, staying in the same hotel as the main tour itself (subject to availability at the time of booking). Your airport arrival transfer is still included.
