2 Days to Cairo and Alexandria from Sharm el Sheikh by plane

What you want to see and do in Egypt will largely determine your itinerary. Many of our tour packages are intended for travelers with only a week or so to spend in Egypt; however, if you want to take your time and truly experience everything the country has to offer, we advise two weeks or longer.

If you need to, you can renew your tourist visa for a longer period of time; however, you must do so by applying at the Mogamma building in Tahrir Square or at the comparable government offices in other well-known towns like Alexandria or Luxor.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, Khan el-Khalili, and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo are the must-see locations on the route from Cairo to Alexandria (with brief stops along the way). The Great Sphinx of Giza, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Alexandria Library are a few more well-liked destinations.

Among the most populated nations in both Africa and Western Asia is Egypt. The vast majority of its estimated 76 million[3] inhabitants reside in a region of around 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi) along the banks of the Nile River, which is the only area with arable land. The Sahara Desert has vast stretches of poorly populated land. The bulk of Egyptians dwell in urban regions, mostly in the heavily populated districts of Alexandria, greater Cairo, and other important cities in the Nile Delta. Approximately half of Egypt's population is urban.
