Many travelers call Egyptian resorts ideal for families. The cult of the family reigns in the state. The Egyptians adore children and the wealth of the family, they evaluate the clan not by financial capabilities, but by the number of descendants. 90% of the country's population professes Islam, therefore, investments in the construction of children's entertainment complexes, the organization of recreation for boys and girls are recognized as a charitable deed here.

Cairo

The capital of the state, contrary to popular stereotypes, is ideal for family travelers. The constant influx of tourists due to the huge number of local attractions here does not reduce the quality of children's recreation. The entertainment that the capital offers to young travelers is not limited to excursions to the pyramids in Giza and the sphinxes.

Young historians will like the children's museum (a structural subdivision of the world-famous Museum of Antiquities), the theme park “Pharaoh's Village”, where the everyday life of the Egyptians is restored in great detail and artists in historical costumes parade through the streets.

There are rooms for parents with children in every hotel, hotel in Cairo. If your fidgets love outdoor activities, extreme attractions, feel free to choose accommodation options closer to Dream Park, Sindbad, Kid Zania family entertainment center.

Kids do not always easily adapt to new climatic conditions, so experienced travelers advise in such cases to stay next to Magic Galaxy – a cozy indoor amusement park for children from 2 to 12 years old. It has an area for the little ones. An interesting nuance: in Cairo (even in the most budget hotel) there will always be a luxurious children's corner.

Sharm El Sheikh

Many areas of the fashionable resort city on the Red Sea can be compared to giant playgrounds. The best time for a holiday with young travelers: spring and autumn. The city‘s hotels are distinguished by the most advanced children's infrastructure. There are those attractions that the Egyptians only plan to build in other parts of the country. The relatively small number of beaches in the territory is compensated by the quality of recreation areas and the level of service.

The entrance to the sea is safe and gentle. There are several giant water parks on the territory of the luxury resort. If young fidgets are fond of diving, they dream of learning the basics of scuba diving, the city is ideal for them. Hotels are literally competing to create new entertainment for children, relieving parents of the problem of what to do with little fidgets on vacation.

Why, for example, go to a water park in another area, if Dessole Seti Sharm Resort has built a huge number of playgrounds, pools with water slides on its territory? And he's not the only one. A similar path was chosen by Jaz Belvedere, Jolie Ville Golf & Resort, Parrotel Aqua Park Resort and many other complexes.

Hurghada

The city is great for year-round inexpensive family vacations. Basically, its hotels operate on an All-Inclusive basis, which eliminates additional costs. In the resort area of the same name there are water parks, a dolphinarium, a complex of sand sculptures that is stunning in its beauty.

Young fidgets can take their first diving and windsurfing lessons from professional instructors. Most hotels have mini-clubs, playrooms, pools for kids and older children with all kinds of attractions.

An important advantage: the staff of many hotels speaks Russian. The resort has a huge number of comfortable sandy beaches with gentle safe slopes into the water. Experienced travelers consider September and October to be the best time for families with children, when a new harvest of exotic fruits ripens.

If the child is very young, it makes sense to choose April – the most windless month. At this time, the water temperature is most comfortable for babies. When choosing a hotel from the All Inclusive system, in any case, you should check in advance for the availability of a special children's menu in it.

Dahab

It has a reputation as the quietest resort. It is better to choose it if the child is interested in water sports, dreams of mastering windsurfing. Prices in Dahab are much lower than in other Egyptian resort cities. Therefore, there is a risk that all inexpensive souvenirs bought for a child, toys simply will not fit in suitcases and backpacks.

Party-goers ignore Dahab, so a family vacation will be calm. The city is not famous for the abundance of bars, restaurants, nightclubs. Its main wealth: nature and silence. Experienced travelers are not advised to save a lot when choosing hotels in Dahab, because then children's equipment (including windsurfing) will be given to small guests for free.

An important point: this nuance also applies to master classes with professional instructors. All hotels, travel agencies of the resort offer a huge number of interesting excursions: quad bikes and camels in the legendary Sinai desert, climbs to the famous Mount Moses. Cycling through cozy city blocks and hiking (small in length) in the desert are always popular with young tourists.

Marsa el Alam

It beckons with mystery and beauty. The infrastructure of the hotels is very modest, but lovers of a quiet family holiday adore the place. Residents are engaged in fishing and camel breeding, therefore tourism is a relatively new industry for them. Marsa el Alam will appeal to a child if he is fond of diving. A little secret: the silence of the place does not prevent hotel owners from fiercely competing for the right to be called the best for children's recreation.

Concorde Moreen Beach Resort, for example, is located in the suburbs, but its owners have built 4 luxurious children's pools, table tennis, darts, and other sports. Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort chose the same option, but an important plus: its staff speaks Russian, while the competitor's staff speak only English.

The Three Corners Sea Beach Resort built only a playground, but in terms of scope and number of attractions, it resembles a full-fledged water park. These and many other hotels constantly keep professional animators, educators, and nannies in their staff. So there will always be someone to take care of young fidgets.

El Gouna

Travelers consider the tourist resort to be one of the most romantic places in Egypt, which does not prevent it from being in demand among family tourists. Party-goers do not like El Gouna, because there is little entertainment for nightclub lovers, and the atmosphere itself is conducive to a relaxing holiday.

But children adore this cozy place, where the locals treat every young traveler like a little king or queen. It is important to know: not all hotels keep nannies, animators, educators in their permanent staff, therefore it is better to clarify the availability of relevant services before booking a room.

If a child is fond of surfing, cycling, or adults are worried that a young fidget will catch a cold in the water, it is better to choose Sheraton Miramar Resort El Gounawhere heated pools work. Steigenberger Golf Resort has a more comfortable beach and a huge number of playgrounds for outdoor sports.

Descent into the water at the Moevenpick Resort & Spa El Gouna beach is recognized as the safest (even for kids). More budget hotels will not yield to those listed in terms of the number of pools and playgrounds.

soma bay

A relatively young resort has loudly declared itself in the field of family tourism. Perfect for those who are tired of the bustle of megacities and do not want to spend their holidays on endless excursions to local historical sights.

An important nuance: mostly five-star hotels are located here, but the prices for rooms in them are lower than in Sharm el-Sheikh. It also makes sense for travelers to pay attention to the suburb of Soma Bay: it has upscale family-friendly hotels, including Jaz Makadina, where a huge water park operates.

Initially, the resort was not focused on children's recreation, therefore, before booking rooms, it is better to clarify in advance the conditions for the provision of services for nannies, animators, educators – whether or not payment for staff work is included in the total bill for hotel accommodation. In Soma Bay, kitesurfing, diving, windsurfing are the most popular, so for families with kids it is better to choose another resort where children will be offered quieter entertainment.

Makadi Bay

It got its name in honor of the coast of Makadi, which was deserted and deserted 30 years ago. In a short time, a town with a developed tourist infrastructure has grown here, where conditions for active recreation have been created. Its only weak side: nevertheless, there are not enough hotels focused on the rest of young fidgets. Therefore, experienced travelers advise getting acquainted with information about the places of future residence with a simple question to the staff: “Do you have a children's menu?”.

The most popular family holiday complexes: Jaz Makadi Aquaviva, Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay, Prima Life Makadi, Labranda Club Makadi. Each of them has a special descent into the sea, children's playgrounds, clubs, swimming pools, convenient wheelchair ramps. If the hotel does not have a children's menu, and the child is small, it is better to initially pay attention to the proposed apartment options. They are convenient because they have kitchen equipment.

Nuweiba

The seaport city has a special authentic atmosphere. It looks modest, there are no hotels that operate on the All Inclusive system. Foreign visitors are considered a rarity in Nuweiba, so adults and children in the town often feel like outlandish overseas guests. The location of the port city is incredibly picturesque.

Slow walks along its streets, according to one of the great Arab poets, “leave special traces in the hearts.” The locals are very hospitable. Many tourists perceive the town more as a cozy, quiet village. The most common here are camping hotels. Living in the city allows you to get to know the life, customs and traditions of the Bedouins.

Hotels are interesting because each has an excellent choice of sports grounds, health programs for all categories of guests. Highlights of hotels and hotels: swimming pools of various shapes. It is noteworthy that there are hotels in the town without swimming pools and entertainment familiar to tourists, but they are so cozy that foreign tourists love to stay there. Basically, hotel staff speaks English, while knowledge of Russian is not considered a rarity.

Alexandria

It attracts travelers of all ages. If a child is fond of ancient history, a vacation in Alexandria will be a real gift for him. Summers in Alexandria are cool, winters are warm and very rainy. The city has both sandy and pebble beaches, all of which are distinguished by a high degree of comfort and developed service. The coastal strip belongs to communities or hotels, but this does not exclude the presence of well-maintained free beaches in Alexandria.

The latter are famous for their strict rules. Locals swim in closed clothes, with the exception of children, who are traditionally treated condescendingly. The most popular places for young tourists: ancient catacombs with surviving ancient wall paintings, an amphitheater where gladiator fights once took place, Roman ruins, cozy parks of Montaza, Zagloud, a zoo. The city has a huge number of playgrounds, diving training centers operate.

El Alamein

The city successfully copes with the roles of a seaport and a popular resort. It is very pleasant to relax here in the summer, but even at the end of May, very comfortable climatic conditions reign in El Alamein. In April, you can also swim, though: the sea is not so warm. It is noteworthy that local residents wear warm clothes at this time, and tourists (residents of the CIS countries) often ask not to turn on the heating in the pools, because it is too hot.

Travel agencies offer a huge number of excursions, so experienced travelers are not advised to save on purchasing comfortable shoes for travel, hiking, clothes for themselves and children.

Another nuance: the cost of renting diving equipment at the resort is quite high (as well as renting watercraft with transparent bottoms), but adults and older children get a unique opportunity to see the sunken ships. The city is focused on European tourists, and the very atmosphere in it carries a piece of the Old World.

Mersa-Matruh

It is often called the Egyptian Maldives. Landscapes of different parts of the world, indeed, are very similar to each other. It is better to rest here from the end of April to November. However, for those who prefer a relaxing holiday, July and August should be excluded, because at this time a huge number of tourists arrive. The city has private paid and free public beaches. The latter, as everywhere in an Islamic country, are famous for stricter rules regarding the clothing of vacationers.

Mersa Matruh is known for its clean, well-maintained sandy beaches, where the descents into the sea are smooth and there is no chance of injuring your feet on corals. There are no high waves, so even kids can swim. Each Mersa Matruh hotel has a unique playground. Your neighbors won't have one. In the city, right on the coast, there are ancient monuments, so a beach holiday can always be combined with an exciting excursion.

Find

It is especially popular with Russian-speaking tourists who love comfort. It is small, green, peaceful, although it is located not far from the Israeli border. Relations between states can hardly be called good neighborly, the main thing is that this does not affect the quality of recreation in Taba. All hotels here offer babysitting services. Each of them is equipped with children's pools and playgrounds. Taba is preferred not only by fans of active sports.

If a kid wants to learn how to play chess and backgammon, he can get his first lessons here – ancient games are so popular in the town. The same can be said about archery. And in hotels, tennis, golf, billiards, squash, volleyball courts are everywhere open. Many traditional European sports games are quite popular in the Muslim town.

Sahl-Hashish

The sea resort town on Krasnoye is still under construction. This place is very mystical and has a special healing energy. Previously, there was an ancient city with temples, which went under water. Relatively recently, the Egyptians decided to restore it and build a tourist center of international level.

Sahl Hasheesh is famous for its incredibly beautiful beaches, the descent into the water is smooth here. The first results of the project implementation are already visible today. On the streets of the city, it was possible to recreate a stunningly authentic atmosphere of antiquity. The first family-friendly hotels were built 14 years ago. All of them and later erected buildings are very spacious.

In many hotels, the staff is fluent in Russian at a basic level, and the owners offer free or at symbolic prices the services of nannies, educators, and animators. The only minus of the city: the planned public parks, recreation areas on its streets have not yet appeared. But all hotels own landscaped areas where there is everything: from beaches, places for diving to children's and adult pools, sports grounds.

Ain-Sokhna

Another new resort is being developed through investment by local businesses in the development of tourism. Hotels, villas, shops, parks here stretch along the coastline of the Gulf of Suez. Initially, the huge area was built up as an elite one, but gradually the projects took a focus on creating recreational conditions for family tourists.

The construction of villas at the entrance to the city has been frozen due to the financial crisis, but local residents have managed to make sights out of such buildings and (with the consent of the owners) conduct tours, passing off new buildings as ancient palaces. In general, this is a very cozy place where you can walk for hours with children, admire the beauty of the sea and the coast. Cairo is nearby, but there are no noisy crowds of tourists in Ain Sokhna. The entrance to the water on the city beaches is smooth.

From the shore you can often see frolicking dolphins. Nearby are hot springs, whose water cures diseases of the joints, musculoskeletal system, skin and other pathologies. An important plus of the resort: a huge number of hotels for children were built on its territory before the crisis, and all of them are open. In addition to traditional sports, quad bike safaris in the desert dunes are always popular with young guests.
