Calm, shallow beaches, dolphins and aqua parks make the Red Sea one of the easiest family holidays in the sun. Keep days short, choose a hotel with a good kids’ club and add one “wow” day out.

Going out

A short, happy evening or afternoon outing for younger kids.

Good to know

  • Children often travel at half price; send us ages for an exact quote.
  • Pick a hotel near your boat trips to keep transfers short.
  • Bring reef shoes, sun shirts and a hat; the sun is strong even in winter.
