Imagine hot African days melting into cool desert nights, the aroma of jasmine wafting through the air, and camel tracks across the sand. Imagine losing yourself in a labyrinth of medieval alleyways, crowded with people and stalls selling silver, rugs and exotic spices. Imagine sailing down the Nile river, being dwarfed by the columns and statues of pharaonic temples and seeing the wonders of the ancient world with your own eyes.
Now imagine sharing that experience with your children. What a special memory for the entire family.
Well, imagine no longer. Adventures By Disney has added a 9-night Egypt vacation to their line-up.
Trip highlights include:
- A camel ride past the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx
- Three nights in Cairo including visits to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities and the Khan Khalili marketplace
- A three-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor
- A felucca sailing excursion on the Nile
- An Egyptian cooking class
- Tours of ancient temples of the Nile including the Temple of Luxor
- A tour of the city of Luxor, in a horse-drawn carriage
- A visit to the Valley of the Kings, including a tour of the tomb of Tutankhamen
- Snorkelling in the Red Sea
- Two-nights at the Red Sea resort Sharm el Sheikh
Fun activities are planned to entertain the kids while parents explore some venues on their own including, a Junior Adventurers art detective activity at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. After a day of excitement and discovery, families can relax together to snack on popcorn and watch some of their favourite Disney classics.
Adventures By Disney allows families to explore and enjoy without having to entangle themselves in the logistical nightmares that can accompany travels, with children, in an unfamiliar country. They have gained access to venues most travellers would not see and have taken steps to ensure the safety of your family.
According to the Adventures By Disney website, “The Egyptian government has taken steps to provide additional safety and security measures throughout the country, including an armed police presence.”
If you’re like me, you’ve travelled to Egypt 100 times…in your dreams. Now you can take the journey for real. Knock it off your ‘bucket list’.
If Egypt doesn’t happen to be on your family’s ‘bucket list,’ Adventures By Disney offers a variety of intriguing opportunities to visit destinations in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America. Download their E-Brochure and let the day-dreaming begin. – Jen R., Staff Writer

I have never heard of Adventures by Disney. This vacation looks pretty cool though. I wonder what it would cost?
