Itinerary
When you're ready to begin your adventure, a representative from Cairo Top Tours will meet you at your chosen location and take you to Aswan Airport in time for your flight to Cairo. Arriving there, you will meet your guide for an exciting tour of the most famous sites in Egypt, the first landmark being the Great Giza Plateau, home to the legendary Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Gaze in awe at these awesome edifices and learn about their unbelievable history or how they were built.
Next, you will visit the Great Sphinx, one of the oldest symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization. It has the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, who is thought to be King Khafre and guards the pyramids. Soaking in the grandeur and history of Giza, you will then go for a scrumptious lunch at the local restaurant you choose; enjoy the food as it is pure Egyptian food.
Then after the meal, transfer to a prominent world-class 5-star hotel in Cairo, where you will enjoy a restful overnight stay. Relax and recharge for the next day's event in Alexandria, with more amazing historical sites that you will see.
A private Egyptologist guide will escort you after a superb breakfast at your hotel to Alexandria, the coastal pearl of Egypt. You will visit some of the most famous landmarks in the city through a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle that will reveal some of the views into its glorious history and cultural value.
Pompey's Pillar is the first monument that you see. It has a height of 28 meters and is built out of red granite to commemorate Emperor Diocletian. Next, you are to visit the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, which is a remarkable underground burial complex from the second century AD. It was discovered accidentally back in the year 1900 and is known for its peculiar blend of Roman, Greek, and Egyptian architecture. The continuation of the tour always lies within the Citadel of Qaitbay-another example of 15 centuries strongholds constructed on the ruins of the nostalgic Lighthouse of Alexandria-where one should value fascinating views across the Mediterranean Sea while also learning more about the fortress' strategic relevance.
After enjoying lunch in one of the local restaurants, you will visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina-the acclaimed center for culture and library containing literally millions of books in Arabic, English, and French. One of the landmark buildings of modernity, this has been dedicated in spirit to the ancient Library of Alexandria, formerly the greatest treasure trove of knowledge in the whole world of ancient times. At the end of your tour, you will be taken back to Cairo Airport for your flight to Aswan, where the team will ensure a transfer to your hotel or preferred location, completing your unforgettable journey perfectly.
