I’ve been listening the the fall of civilizations podcast recently (the episode about Egypt is soooo good! i think you’ll love it as you have been to all the sights) I especially love that you even get to see the images of Queen Nefertari and Queen Hatshepsut!

We’re glad you found it helpful! Egypt is such an incredible place. We think everyone should visit at least once!

Egypt is a great family destination depending on the ages of your children and their experiences traveling or living in similar areas of the world. It potentially could be a little overstimulating going through the markets for younger children, just because they can be extremely busy and loud, and vendors may approach you trying to sell their items. We recommend traveling with your own toilet paper or wipes, as a lot of restrooms at the historical sites have an attendant that will give you a few squares (with the expectancy that you will also provide them a small gratuity). One of the benefits of doing a guided tour though is that you’ll have a local with you at all times who can help you get any necessities you may need for your kids AND they’ll make the history/importance of the places easy for people of all ages to understand!
