With the academic year almost over, and schoolchildren starting their favorite time of the year — the annual summer vacation — parents are beginning to consider entertainment options for their little ones’ three months of freedom. As summer approaches, requests for pools, beaches, and the annual masyaf (summer beach holiday) begin to make an appearance. Since families are currently struggling to keep up with rising prices in Egypt, many cannot afford to book a masyaf getaway.
As an alternative, here is a compiled list of activities and theme parks for children to enjoy without traveling out of Cairo, some of which can be a memorable experience for the entire family.
