On the one hand, the remnants of the ancient civilization of the pharoahs continue to amaze you and your kids (though the experience is probably better suited to older than younger children). It's a UNESCO World Heritage extravaganza, from pyramids and Sphinx of Giza to the feluccas of the Nile down to Luxor with its Temple of Karnak and Valley of the Kings, to Abu Simbel in Aswan (with extra points for the vibrant city of Alexandria).
Meanwhile, the Sinai Peninsula is alluring for family-friendly swimming, snorkeling, and diving at Red Sea resorts such as Dahab, Hurghada, and Sharm El Sheikh (along with a another touch of history at the early medieval St. Catherine's Monastery, yet another UNESCO site).
