Tour Itinerary
Day1The Pyramids of Giza, Memphis, and Saqqara
On Day 1, your adventure begins with a comfortable private transfer from Alexandria Port to Cairo, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenic drive along the Mediterranean coast. Upon arrival in Cairo, you’ll start by exploring the world-renowned Pyramids of Giza, where you’ll visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with the majestic Sphinx.
You’ll have plenty of time to take pictures and marvel at the grandeur of these ancient wonders, soaking in their historical significance as a UNESCO World Heritage site. From Giza, you’ll continue your journey to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you’ll see remarkable ruins, including the Colossus of Ramses II and the Temple of Ptah.
Afterward, you’ll head to Saqqara, home to the iconic Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s oldest known pyramid, marking the beginning of pyramid construction in Egypt. Following your explorations, you’ll enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant before heading to your hotel for check-in.
In the evening, you’ll have some leisure time to either relax at your hotel or take a stroll along the Nile River, immersing yourself in Cairo’s lively ambiance. At the end of the day, you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel and stay overnight in Cairo.
Day2The Grand Egyptian Museum and Old Cairo
Begin your day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel before heading to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the newly opened, largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization. The museum houses thousands of artifacts, including the treasures of King Tutankhamun and numerous relics from various Egyptian dynasties, offering an in-depth look at Egypt's rich history.
Afterward, you’ll head to Old Cairo to explore the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, which provides stunning panoramic views of the city. From there, you’ll visit the Citadel of Saladin, an impressive medieval Islamic fortification that houses historic mosques and museums, providing insight into Cairo’s Islamic heritage.
Your day concludes with a walk through the bustling Khan el-Khalili Market, a vibrant bazaar where you can shop for local crafts, jewelry, spices, and unique souvenirs. After an enriching day of exploration, you’ll be transferred back to Alexandria Port, marking the end of your unforgettable journey.
