Wow.  A website dedicated to detailing amusement parks around the world: http://sv4kids.com/FunParks/Egypt_Index.htm  

There are three amusement parks in Alex.  Supposedly.  Because it seems Sinbad Fun Park is also in Cairo.  Or there isn’t one in Alex.   Guess I will find out.  Yes, I found out, its near Cairo Airport.

Other information about children visiting egypt and what to do or what to avoid is at a TourEgypt website.  In particular note the warning for dehydration:

“Kids are reluctant to drink as much liquids as they should in the hot Egyptian climate. Adding a bit of KoolAid to the mineral water can make it taste much better. Most kids who get ill in Egypt do so because they have not had enough water. Also, it is a good idea, especially in southern Egypt, to get an early start on visiting the monuments if possible, finishing up by late morning and thus spending the remainder of the day back at the hotel. Also, beware of the street animals in Egypt. Cats, and even a few dogs roam the streets of some Egyptian cities, particularly Cairo, and it is not a good idea for kids or adults to touch these often feral animals.”
