5-Day Cairo Budget Trips Packages

Start off your Egypt Travel Package in Cairo with a scrumptious buffet breakfast at your hotel. Afterward, meet your certified tour guide to begin your 5-day adventure in the city.

Your first stop will be the Saqqara Necropolis, which is an old kingdom necropolis located just outside of Cairo. Here, you'll explore the Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser, the tombs of the nobles, and enter the Pyramid of King Teti. Your tour guide will simplify the history of Egypt and explain the basics of ancient Egyptian religion. Djoser was one of the most powerful rulers of ancient Egypt during the 3rd dynasty, and his Step Pyramid was built by Imhotep, the great architect, and philosopher who held many titles and was worshipped even after his death. You'll also enter the tomb of Kagemni, the son-in-law of King Teti.

Next, you'll transfer to the ancient city of Memphis to discover artifacts dating back to different periods of the Pharaonic period, such as the alabaster sphinx of Memphis and the colossal statue of King Ramses II.

Afterward, you'll be transferred to Giza Pyramids for an amazing tour. You'll explore the three pyramids built by the kings of the 4th dynasty: Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. See the grandeur of the great pyramid of Khufu, which was the tallest structure in the world for over 4,500 years until the construction of the Lincoln Cathedral in 1311 A.D.

From the high plateau, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the three pyramids and have the option to take a one-hour camel ride while taking amazing photos of the landscape. You'll also see the Great Sphinx of Chephren, a mythological figure with a man's head and a lion's body. Your tour guide will explain the different phases of the mummification process as you enter the Valley Temple or the mummification temple inside the funeral complex of Chephren.

After an exciting morning, enjoy a delicious lunch at a high-quality restaurant overlooking the pyramids and the Sphinx. Finally, you'll be transferred back to your hotel to relax and enjoy a comfortable overnight stay there.

After enjoying your breakfast at the hotel, you will head to the Egyptian Museum, which houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts and sculptures in the world, such as the Treasures of the golden pharaoh Tutankhamun, which is the first royal treasure that was discovered intact in Luxor. Afterward, visit the Hanging Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, which was built suspended above two towers of the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon during the 1st century. You'll also see the Church of St. Sergius, where the holy family stayed during their journey in Egypt, and the oldest synagogue in Old Cairo, Ben Ezra Synagogue, which was a Christian church before.

Enjoy a tasty lunch before being transferred to the famous market of Khan El-Khalili for a Cairo shopping tour. Here, you can drink a refreshing tea with mint or a special fresh mango juice at a local cafe while watching the street life and the sellers in the area of Al Hussein. Your tour guide will also show you some interesting buildings in Islamic Cairo on Al-Moez Street.

After a fun-filled day in Cairo, you'll be transferred back to your hotel to relax and spend your night there.

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, you'll have the day to spend at your leisure. We highly recommend taking the opportunity to explore the Greco-Roman monuments in Alexandria, a beautiful city located on the Mediterranean coast that served as the capital of Egypt for about a millennium. You'll see the Pompey Pillar, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Alexandria Bibliotheca. Additionally, you can enjoy a delicious seafood lunch at a fancy restaurant overlooking the sea.

Take your time to explore the city and immerse yourself in its rich history and culture. When you're ready, you will return to your hotel and enjoy an overnight stay.
