The Best Budget Tour to Cairo and El Ain Sokhna for 5 Days

Your tour guide will meet you today after you finish your open-buffet breakfast at the hotel and accompany you on your day trip from Cairo to the Giza Pyramids, Dahshur, and Memphis.

You will start your tour of the Giza Pyramids by visiting the famous site of the 3 great gigantic Pyramids of 3 rulers of the old kingdom (Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure), descendants of King Snefru who was the founder of the ruling family and owner of 3 incredible pyramids in which 2 of them are sited in a necropolis in Dahshur, and the Great Sphinx which dates back to the time of King Chephren (2620 B.C).

Next, let's visit the Saqqara Necropolis, which is 200 years older than the Giza Necropolis and home to the Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser from the third dynasty and the Pyramid of King Teti from the sixth dynasty, which ruled the country until the start of the first intermediate period. Explore the tombs of the nobles, the son-in-law of King Teti, and Kagemni, the vizier of Justice, to see the exquisite examples of ancient Egyptian art.

Continue your sightseeing in Cairo by traveling to Memphis, an ancient city that is now known as Mit Rahina. Here, you can visit the open-air museum that features the second-largest sphinx made of alabaster and the enormous statue of King Ramses II, who was the most powerful ruler during the new kingdom.

Following breakfast, our tour guide will come to your hotel to take you to the most popular locations in ancient Cairo. The Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, which gets its name from the alabaster used for both its exterior and interior walls, and Saladin Citadel will be the first stops on your amazing tour. After that, you'll stroll through Old Cairo to see the Hanging Church, one of the oldest churches in Egyptian Christian history. From there, you'll go to Abu Serga Church, where the holy family sought safety for nearly three months, and, to cap off your tour of Coptic Cairo, Ben Ezra Synagogue, which was once a Christian church before being purchased by a wealthy Jewish man.

Enjoy lunch at a neighborhood eatery. If time and energy permit, you will have the chance to visit the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, which is one of Cairo's best walking tours, where locals and tourists alike can enjoy themselves equally. At the conclusion of your Cairo excursions, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.

After checking out of the hotel, we will drive the hour and a half to the Red Sea Ain Sokhna resort. There, we will enjoy a relaxing day at the beach or in the pool, as well as a buffet lunch starting at 3:00 PM and dinner before the night show.

After breakfast, check out of your hotel and get started on your adventure right away! We'll drive for nearly 30 minutes to the well-known resort of Porto Sokhna, where you can ride the Cable Car (Teleferik) up the Galala Mountain and have lunch with fresh seafood at a classy restaurant with views of the mountains and the Red Sea. When your cheap tour of Cairo and El Ain Sokhna is over, tell the driver where you want to be dropped off in Cairo. After exploring the resort's mall and taking stunning pictures by the water, head back to Cairo.
