Louise Khattab was with her daughter Courtney, 10, and son Daniel, 12, when the car they were traveling in was hit by a lorry last August 10.
The family were in Egypt visiting family on the northern coast and were on their way to a relation’s house for dinner when the collision happened.
Despite there being a hospital 20 miles away in Alexandria, the children were taken to a hospital two hours away in Cairo.
Daniel died shortly after the accident but Courtney, who suffered a heart attack and was starved of oxygen while being transported to the hospital, survived for another seven days in intensive care.
The children are now buried at the foot of the pyramids, in Giza, after Mrs Khattab, 35, discovered it was her son Daniel’s final wish.
A memorial for the children will be held at Oxclose Community School next Sunday.
