Our family-focused Egypt packages run from around $1,549 to $2,199 per person for 8-10 days, covering hotels, a guide, transport and the main sites. Flights to Egypt, some meals and optional add-ons like a hot air balloon ride sit outside that range. Family trips tend to land toward the middle of our overall price spread because private transport and family-friendly pacing cost a little more than a standard group tour.
Key takeaways
- Our family packages: 8 days from $1,549-1,999; 10 days from $2,199.
- Private transport and a private guide are standard on family trips, which is part of why they cost more than a budget group tour.
- Kids under a certain age are often free or discounted for museum and site entry — see our Egypt travel budget guide for the general fee structure.
- A Nile cruise night for a family of four costs roughly the same per person as for two, since cabins are priced per person from a shared base.

What moves the price
- Hotel category. Family rooms at 5-star hotels cost more than standard doubles at 4-star.
- Group size. A private family tour costs more per person than joining a larger group, but suits young children better.
- Add-ons. A hot air balloon ride, a felucca sunset sail, or extra Red Sea nights all add to the base package price.
- Season. Winter (peak season) pricing runs higher than summer.
Frequently asked questions
Is Egypt an expensive family destination?
Not by Western European or North American standards. A guided family package with private transport is often comparable to a mid-range beach package holiday once flights are counted.
Do children get discounts on tours?
Yes, typically — most museums and sites discount or waive entry for young children, and many tour operators price children's seats lower than adults'.
