Explore the best of Egypt on our premier 5-day Cairo and Alexandria tour. This private journey offers a perfect mix of ancient wonders and coastal charm. From the golden sands of Giza to the sea breezes of Alexandria, we provide a smooth, luxury experience. Specifically, this trip focuses on the deep history and vibrant culture of Egypt’s two greatest cities.
Your adventure starts in Cairo, the vibrant capital of Egypt. First, you will visit the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx. These are two of the world’s most famous landmarks. Next, you will explore the Saqqara Step Pyramid. This site is the world’s oldest stone structure. Afterward, you will visit the ancient capital of Memphis. Here, you can see massive statues of Ramses II. Furthermore, our expert guides will share fascinating stories. Consequently, you will learn how the builders created these wonders long ago.
In addition to the pyramids, you will visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). This modern museum houses the famous treasures of King Tutankhamun. You can admire his solid gold mask and thousands of rare artifacts. Following this, you can explore the historic Citadel of Saladin. It offers a great view of the city. Later, you may stroll through the famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Here, you can experience Egypt’s vibrant culture. As a result, you can taste local food and shop for unique gifts in a traditional setting.
On the fourth day, you will take a private day trip to Alexandria. This city offers a unique mix of history and beauty. Initially, you will visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. This is a modern tribute to the ancient world’s greatest library. Next, you will explore Pompey’s Pillar and the Roman Amphitheatre. Furthermore, you will stand before the Qaitbay Citadel. This fort sits right on the Mediterranean Sea. Finally, enjoy a fresh seafood lunch by the water before you return to Cairo. Because we use private, air-conditioned cars, your journey will stay comfortable at all times.
Q: Can I change this 5-day plan? A: Yes! We can adjust the schedule to fit your interests. For instance, you can add more museum time or extra shopping. We will make it happen.
Q: What should I wear during the tours? A: We suggest comfortable, modest clothes and walking shoes. Since Alexandria is on the coast, a light jacket helps with the sea breeze.
