A favourite with kids of ALL ages and can be for any length of time, go round the local villages and see the area.

An alternative to the hot air balloon go on a donkey ride across the ridge following the route taken by the Ancient Workmen going from Deir el Medina overlook the temple of Hatshepsut and ending up in the Valley of Kings. The views are spectacular and unique.

Take a camel out into the desert and visit the Christian village and purchase some local honey. Another long trip that will really make you ‘walk like an Egyptian’
