Why Taking Your Kids to Egypt in 2026 Might Be One of the Best Decisions You’ll Ever Make

Have you ever watched your child completely light up while exploring a new place, spotting something unexpected in nature, or stumbling across a fascinating fact during a impromptu conversation? That moment — that flicker of curiosity that spreads across their face — when you can almost see their brain at work. The synapses fire, connections are made, and suddenly something clicks. The questions come next. Then the awe. And just like that, a new memory is formed — one of those quiet, powerful moments that becomes part of the rich tapestry of their childhood.

Why We Learn Through Travel

It’s these moments that I truely treasure the most about homeschooling — when learning feels alive, unplanned, and natural. It’s also why our family is so drawn to learning through travel. There’s something powerful about stepping outside the usual routine and letting the world become the classroom.

In March 2026, a group of like-minded families will be heading to Egypt for a World School Camp — created for families who want to experience that kind of learning together. Whether you homeschool full-time, travel when you can, or are simply looking for a more meaningful way to explore the world with your children, this journey might just be one of those rare and beautiful experiences that you have been looking for.

Egypt: A Living Classroom

Egypt is one of those places that truly brings history to life. It’s not just somewhere you visit — it’s somewhere you experience.

The Great Pyramids of Giza. The Sphinx. Ancient tombs carved into cliffs. A cruise down the Nile (yep — the actual Nile!). Standing under the towering columns of Karnak Temple. It’s the kind of hands-on, real-world learning that helps our kids really get the history — not just memorise dates, but understand the stories and the people behind them.

We’ll explore temples, learn about pharaohs and gods, try local food, and get a feel for a civilisation that’s fascinated people for thousands of years. And the best part? We get to do it all together, as families — learning, adventuring, and making memories side by side.

Yes, the learning is incredible — but what really stays with you are the moments in between. The wide eyes, the questions, the funny little things your kids notice. The memories you’ll chat about for years — “Remember when we went to Egypt?” Those are the moments that stick long after the trip ends.

Why These Experiences Matter

Trips like this remind me why we prioritise these kinds of experiences. It’s so easy to get caught up in stuff — the toys, the gadgets, the next big thing — but none of that compares to the memories we make when we step out into the world together.

This isn’t just about going somewhere cool. It’s about carving out time as a family to learn, to explore, and to be present with each other. Those shared experiences? That’s what sticks. That’s what our kids remember. And honestly, that’s what we’ll remember too.

Travelling on a group tour is seriously convenient.

The right group tour can save families a lot of money, and it cuts out all the legwork—no more hours spent researching accommodation, transfers, or trying to figure out what’s kid-friendly and what’s not. And in a destination as exotic and culturally rich as Egypt, you want to trust the experts. Having local knowledge and support on the ground brings peace of mind—especially when it comes to safety, cultural understanding, and making the most of every moment.

And yet, group tours are often overlooked by families… and I know exactly why.

As a mum of four, I’ve had all the same thoughts:

  • What if my child needs time to adjust?

  • What if we slow the group down and it creates tension or awkwardness?

  • What if there are no other kids and my child is stuck with a bunch of adults, bored out of their mind?

  • What if it just doesn’t work for a family like ours?

We’ve felt all of that—and it’s exactly why we created our World School Camps. They’re designed specifically for families like ours (and yours). This is so;

  • your kids have other kids to connect with;

  • the pace is realistic and flexible;

  • you can travel with confidence, knowing the experience has been built around families.

One of the biggest reasons we created these camps is connection.

Families join us from all over the world—some are homeschooling, some are on gap years, and others are simply soaking up a special season of family life. Everyone comes with a different story, but what we share is a desire to explore the world, learn together, and give our kids something more meaningful than just another holiday.

What You Can Expect on Our Worldschool Camp to Egypt

Your kids will form friendships fast—real friendships—with other kids just as excited as they are to be exploring EGYPT!!!

Parents swap stories, share ideas, and quickly realise they’re not alone in this wild, beautiful season of life. Chances are, you’ll make friends for life—maybe from the other side of the world. And yes, many families do stay in touch (some even travel together again later!).

By the end of the trip, it feels like you’ve journeyed with extended family—the kind you get to choose.
There’ll be belly laughs. Shared meals. Late-night chats.
Moments that bond you together through the magic of travel.

And all of it flows through a thoughtfully crafted, family-friendly itinerary that blends learning, culture, and adventure at a pace that works for everyone.

The Itinerary

There’s a lot to see in Egypt—but this itinerary isn’t rushed. It’s been thoughtfully designed with families in mind: a balanced mix of guided experiences, free time to explore, and space to slow down when you need it.

We’ll begin in Cairo, journey south through Aswan and Luxor, and wrap up with a few slower days by the Red Sea. You’ll get a beautiful mix of ancient history, rich culture, and relaxed downtime—so it feels like a shared adventure, not just a checklist of sights.

But what makes this camp truly meaningful isn’t just where we go—it’s how we travel:
At a family-friendly pace.
With other like-minded families.
In a way that values learning, connection, and being present every step of the way.

Want to Come With Us?

Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or just dipping your toes into the world of learning through travel, this is your chance to explore deeply, and share something truly meaningful with your family.

If Egypt is calling to you (even just a little), or you’d like to know more about how these World School Camps work, I’m always happy to chat.
