The usual all inclusive holidays in Egypt can sometimes leave younger children feeling bored. Adventure-filled expeditions have been designed by enterprising tour operators throughout Egypt, which have become very popular. Be prepared for some early mornings and late evenings though and you might be eating your meals in a Bedouin encampment or around a campfire.
One of the biggest attractions for people on all inclusive Egypt holidays is the nearby Red Sea. The world's northernmost tropical sea has 1,240 miles of coral reefs and attracts over 1,200 different species of fish in its warm waters. Don't worry if you've never snorkelled before though, as you'll have an experienced instructor on board who will take you through the rudiments and tell you all about the fascinating marine life that can be seen.
A trip to see the pyramids is sure to be the icing on the cake on all Egypt holidays, and one of the best ways to see them is by taking a hot-air balloon trip above them for a bird's eye view. Lasting around 45 minutes, the balloon trips occur quite early in the morning before the sun gets too hot.
The next day, you get to walk up Mount Sinai at 3 in the morning before the heat becomes unbearable. Mount Sinai is known as the 'Moses Mountain' as Moses was given the Ten Commandments from God here. The mountain is the tallest in Sinai at 2,282 metres and there are 700 steps to the top.
A very popular expedition is the Desert Trails Expedition, which explores the desert region around Cairo. The expedition uses 4x4's to ferry people from one oasis to another. The Oasis Heritage Museum at Bahariya has a good display on the Bedouin way of life and the Mahmoud Eid art gallery here, has clay sculptures and paintings depicting life in the desert and on an oasis. One place that you visit on the itinerary is Gilf Kebir, an impressive sandstone plateau. At approximately 7,770 square kilometres in area, it contains numerous valleys and remains of rivers.
