Authentic Egypt: Tailor-Made Family Trips to Explore Egypt

October 12, 2026 by Amara Nambinga

With its rich heritage and fascinating history, Egypt is a premier destination for a family trip that will appeal to every generation. Authentique Égypte designs personalized stays by offering playful activities and unique experiences for both young and old.

Egypt, the ideal land for an intergenerational journey

Egypt is a captivating country at any age. The youngest explore the world of the pharaohs, often studied at school; teenagers marvel at temples and pyramids; adults are drawn to museums or lounge on the beaches of the Red Sea. To discover it off the beaten path, nothing beats trying activities offered by locals. From a creative workshop to a boat ride, desert exploration and a zipline inside a troglodyte church, Authentique Égypte aims to propose fun yet authentic stops that let guests immerse themselves in Egyptian history and culture. All while adapting to each person’s needs, with flexible rhythms for babies, nap breaks, or dynamic visits for older children.

A local team that knows the terrain and the needs of French travelers

As a tourism professional, Mélanie Adam noticed the lack of authentic options during her own visits to Egypt. “We were forced to follow the tourist circuits; it was unthinkable to get away from the crowds or to have an authentic experience, so I decided to create one,” she explains. She teams up with an Egyptian partner to found Authentique Égypte, building a network of local providers, Egyptologists guides, and artisans who lead unique workshops. Today, the agency operates with a dedicated team based in Egypt that understands the expectations of French travelers. They are accompanied at every step of the itinerary by a Francophone representative who remains reachable throughout the stay to answer their questions. A true peace of mind, all the more essential when traveling abroad with family.

Family-Focused Itineraries

Specialist in tailor-made travel in Egypt, the agency is committed to co-creating itineraries with families, for families. One can start in Cairo, where the new museum has a very nice section dedicated to children, before discovering the pyramids and then escaping toward the Fayoum Oasis, where they can surf in the desert, learn pottery, and explore the Valley of the Whales.

For families with young children, a Cairo–Red Sea combination itinerary helps limit travel while enjoying suitable reserves, such as Wadi el Gemal, where camels and wildlife can be encountered. Finally, for larger groups, why not privatize a sailing boat for an exclusive Nile cruise? On a full-board basis, travelers stop whenever they wish, avoiding overly crowded places at peak hours. Whatever itinerary is chosen, Authentique Égypte provides comfortable and tailored services, from a baby cot to a car seat.

Thanks to Authentique Égypte’s local expertise and its tailor-made approach, each generation finds its place in the adventure, for an unforgettable journey on the land of the Pharaohs.

A Destination Shaped by Its Artisans

Along the journey, one clear observation emerges: Minas Gerais reveals itself primarily through the women and men who uphold its traditions.

Behind every stop, artisans, producers, and families pass down their know-how and preserve the region’s cultural identity, a strong guarantee of authenticity to craft differentiating itineraries.

Tiradentes and Bichinho: Terroir and Craftsmanship

Starting from Rio and along the road to Tiradentes, a tasting at the heart of a winery offers a full immersion into the local terroir. Arriving in the bucolic colonial town of Tiradentes, the rolling landscapes readily lend themselves to horseback riding. The encounter with a prize-winning cheese producer helps illuminate why Minas cheese is today regarded as one of Brazil’s great culinary icons.

A few kilometers away, the village of Bichinho illustrates the richness of local craftsmanship: workshops, galleries and shops bear witness to a living know-how, where wood, metal and stone work are an integral part of daily life.

Our suggested partner hotels:

• Solar da Ponte

• Villa Allegra

• Tiradentes Boutique Hotel

• Bowi Hotel Conceito

Ouro Preto: Beyond Baroque Heritage

Famed for its UNESCO-listed heritage, Ouro Preto reveals another facet through visits to former gold mines, encounters with local artists, and the discovery of soapstone sculpture—a tradition that continues to shape the region’s identity and enriches the cultural experience offered to your clients.

Our suggested partner hotels:

• Solar do Rosário

• Solar da Opera

• Pousada do Mondego

Serra Do Cipó: Minas’ Wild Face

Farther north, Serra do Cipó unveils a wilder Minas Gerais. Kayaking or cycling outings, hiking, waterfalls, and archaeological sites adorned with prehistoric rock art captivate nature and adventure enthusiasts. Several local initiatives focused on agroforestry, organic farming, and sustainable tourism offer meaningful experiences that foster authentic exchanges with local communities.

Our lodging pick: Capim do Mato Pousada & SPA, whose contemporary architecture gracefully integrates with its natural surroundings. Refined rooms, an excellent dining, and a breakfast that is particularly well-crafted make it one of the region’s finest addresses.

In the Footsteps of Caravans Across the Moroccan Desert

Nestled in the southern reaches of Morocco, at the edge of the Sahara, the village of Mhamid El Ghizlane marks the starting point of a unique adventure through the vast desert. With NAGA Travel, travelers embark on treks and desert hikes, guided by nomads and former caravan men, to discover the authentic Sahara and its grand landscapes.

The itineraries follow the ancient caravan routes, traversing oases and desert plateaus, all the way to the majestic dunes of Erg Chegaga and Erg Zahar, nicknamed the howling dune for its wild and spectacular character.

On the way, a must-stop is Sidi Naji, an iconic site rich in history and local traditions. This stop, frequently visited by caravans, offers a unique glimpse into Saharan spirituality and culture, inviting travelers to fully soak up the desert’s soul.

The days unfold to the rhythm of walking or camel caravans, weaving between dunes, hamadas and palm groves. In the evening, bivouacs set up in the heart of the desert provide magical moments: tea beneath the stars, nomadic tales, and a total immersion in the silence and beauty of the Sahara.

With NAGA Travel, every circuit is an authentic experience, combining adventure, spectacular landscapes and encounters with desert inhabitants, along the routes of Morocco’s ancient caravan trails.

Exploring the Imperial Cities and Northern Morocco

With NAGA Travel, embark on a journey to Morocco’s imperial cities and the treasures of the North. Our itineraries let you explore Casablanca, Rabat, Meknès, Fès, as well as the fascinating regions of northern Morocco, blending history, culture and extraordinary landscapes.

In Casablanca, you will discover the majestic Hassan II Mosque, a symbol of modern Moroccan architecture, and you can wander through the Habous district, with its authentic charm.

In Rabat, the royal capital, history is written between the Kasbah des Oudayas, the Mausoleum Mohammed V and the tranquil gardens that line the Atlantic.

Meknès, an imperial city on the UNESCO World Heritage list, will captivate you with its historic ramparts, monumental gates and lively souks, testifying to the kingdom’s rich past.
