4-Day Cairo and Alexandria Tour Package

In the morning, a tour guide and chauffeur will collect you from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to commence a day of remarkable sightseeing:

• Giza Pyramids:

The iconic Pyramids of Giza, recognized globally, are the last standing of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The three primary pyramids are the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Mycerinus.

• Queen Pyramids:

These smaller pyramids served as the burial sites for the pharaohs' consorts and were surrounded by workers' villages, temples, and tombs.

• Great Sphinx of Giza:

This colossal statue, carved from the bedrock of the Giza plateau, depicts a reclining lion with a human head. Originally adorned with red ochre paint and a ceremonial beard, it has withstood the ravages of time.

• Khafre's Valley Temple:

Visit this temple, which was used for the purification of the king's mummy and for conducting the embalming process.

Lunch:

After touring the Pyramids of Giza, take a respite to enjoy a meal at a local restaurant offering authentic Egyptian cuisine (drinks not included).

• The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities:

This museum houses an unparalleled collection of ancient artifacts spanning 5,000 years, including the treasures of Tutankhamun. Over 25,000 artifacts, including jewelry and furniture from the young pharaoh's tomb, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, are on display.

• Khan El Khalili Bazaar:

Conclude the day with a visit to this vibrant bazaar, Cairo's bustling primary market, where you can immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere and purchase exquisite local handicrafts.

Return to the hotel after the tour.

A private car will transfer you from your Cairo hotel to Alexandria, a scenic three-hour drive. Upon arrival in the morning, embark on a tour that includes:

Dating back to the Roman era, these catacombs feature three levels of tombs and intricate decorations blending Egyptian and Roman iconography.
