This is a fun and action-packed trip for families with older children. Dahab city in Sinai has much to offer; from the crystal clear warm waters, the vast desert all around to the mountains and canyons. This active itinerary incorporates all this and more as we go off-road and out to sea to discover this diverse region. We explore the Sinai desert and canyons by 4WD, and discover life beneath the waves on a day's snorkelling trip. Back in Cairo, you'll spend a full-day time at the awe-inspiring Pyramids at Giza and the Egyptian Museum in the Tahrir Square.
