Your first stop will be the 15th-century stronghold known as the Citadel of Qaitbey, which is situated in the port. The ruins of the iconic Alexandria lighthouse, which it once housed, are still discernible. Then visit The catacombs at Kom el Shogafa, the largest Roman cemetery with three levels carved out of rock and a notable first-century archaeological site. In its three underground floors are more than 300 mummies, the most common burial deities, and several Greco-Roman themes.
Lunch will be served in a seafood restaurant where you can try some of the most well-known Egyptian delicacies. You'll visit Alexandria's Pompey Column and the Serapeus Temple Ruins once you've had a chance to rest and recover at the Pompay Pillar. Some historians claim that this important Roman general was killed in battle and buried here later.
At the end of the day, you'll go to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, one of the most important cultural centres in the eastern Mediterranean. In the late afternoon, we'll return you to your hotel in Cairo.
Following breakfast, you will be driven to the Egyptian Civilization National Museum, which highlights the rich diversity of Egyptian culture throughout history. Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel. After lunch, our guide will drive you to Coptic Cairo.
See the St. Sergius and Hanging Churches, which were constructed above the crypt where St. Joseph the Carpenter, Jesus Christ, and his mother spent more than three months. The Ben Ezra Synagogue, which was constructed prior to the ninth century and served as a Coptic Church for a long time, is the last structure you will visit.
When your vacation is over, we'll transport you back to your hotel.
You'll start your White Desert Tour from Cairo on the fifth day, which also includes a trip to the Bahariya Oasis. Like the bulk of our Cairo day trips, the journey can begin anywhere. You will need to travel four hours in an air-conditioned vehicle to get from Cairo to the Bahariya Oasis.
A visit to the Golden Mummies Museum is scheduled for you. The mummies were discovered alongside the ruins of an Alexander the Great Temple in sizable Greco-Roman cemeteries. The tombs of the local nobility or rulers from the 26th dynasty will also be visible. You'll also love seeing the Temple of Muftella, which was constructed in honour of the god Bis.Then, we'll take you to a restaurant that is meant to resemble an oasis so you can enjoy a great meal of Egyptian cuisine. You should find this to be a fascinating Egypt desert safari tours.
We will then travel to the White Desert for a special White Desert Safari after that. We will pass through the Valley of El Haize, a green hamlet in the middle of the desert that comes before the black desert, on the way to Cairo, to the south of the oasis. We might make a halt and explore the nearby water spring if we have time.
Visit the Valley of Agabat to experience the excitement of sandboarding down the enormous sand dunes, as well as the stunning formations of petrified wood, and Crystal Mountain to observe historic quartz crystal formations. While your local guides prepare your lunch, we will enjoy camping in the White Desert, where there is a good chance of seeing a spectacular sunset. Rest in the camp while admiring the stunning stars.
Apart from the smog of the major towns, spend the evening stargazing at the lovely constellations. The sun rising in the White desert will be the most gorgeous sight when you awaken the next morning.
On the sixth day, breakfast will be provided as you take in the breathtaking vistas of the White Desert. After that, you'll continue your journey to see the stunning white limestone rocks in the area, including the chicken formation, the rock with the sphinx's likeness, the rock with a whale's likeness, and the hill with the shape of a rabbit. You'll also take pictures of the natural artworks created by the desert and nearby springs. You will then be driven to Cairo while travelling through the Black Desert, which is home to stunning mountains covered in tiny black volcanic rocks.
Before starting our journey, we'll stop in Bahariya to see the fruit orchards, breathtaking sand dunes, salt lake, and other sites.
On the final day, our tour guide will be there to pick you up in the hotel lobby at the appointed hour so you can be driven back to the Cairo airport and depart Egypt with fresh experiences, breathtaking images, and immeasurable memories.
