Will Egypt be too hot for kids in June? If so, where instead?

I’m taking the children away this year - they’re 12, 8, 7 and 1. It’s just me, DP not coming as SC can’t come so he’s stuck at home. Had originally booked AI in Hurghada in November but have an oops baby on board so that’s scuppered my winter sun plans 🤦‍♀️ so now we’re going in June but I need to figure out where! Will Egypt be too hot for the kids? They’re all sun bunnies and will happily splash about in the pool for ages but still. Also it took me for EVER to find where I wanted to go - we were AI with on site waterpark, lots of pools, playground, arcade and kids club and all the reviews raved about how good it was for kids. Plus multiple food places included in the AI for both meals and snacks. So if anyone can recommend anything with those features somewhere that would be nice in June I’d hugely appreciate it!

Apologies if this comes across wrong, but only you can decide if it's too hot for your kids. If it was too hot for everyone's kids then they would close for the summer months, and since they don't there are presumably some fraction of European parents who are OK to take their children there.

Objectively, it will be about 36° at 2pm, versus perhaps 32° in Bodrum. But then Bodrum will probably be 36° in August and people go there too.

So if your kids like the sun then why not. Just keep applying the factor 50. (Will you be all right, though? Or can you park the older DC in the mini club and look after the baby in an air-conditioned room?)

plus a bakery, a Turkish tent and eight different ‘food corners’.

Sorry, most of my post got deleted!
Have a look at Royal Wings Lara Beach instead. It’s got a waterpark, funfair, 6 à la cartes plus a bakery, a Turkish tent and eight different ‘food corners’.

Doesn’t come across wrong at all and makes a lot of sense - it is indeed very subjective! I’ll be fine, I’ll be in the nice bit of pregnancy and I am also a bit of a sun bunny. None of the kids are prone to burning so it’s not like we’ll be stuck indoors the whole time or anything.
