Itinerary
You are journeying in a very special way; you will begin with a hotel pickup at Hurghada, be transferred in a beautiful, air-conditioned vehicle to the airport, and then fly to Cairo. Afterward, your knowledgeable guide will meet you and take you on a very exciting trip through the capital city of Egypt.
Your tour will start at Giza Plateau, where you will see the famed Pyramids Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Gaze at these wonders of the ancient world, and stand in front of the enigmatic Great Sphinx, a marvel of ancient engineering with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh. Proceed to the Valley Temple, which is essential in the burial complex of the pyramids, where ancient rituals took place. After lunch at a lovely local restaurant with views overlooking the pyramids, head to the world-famous Egyptian Museum. Here you will find a mind-boggling assemblage of artifacts, including the golden treasures of King Tutankhamun and many more ancient relics that date back as far as 5000 years.
Evening dinner for you will be a drive through the Nile before heading to a very comfortable hotel in Cairo. If you want, you can visit the very lively Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where the bustling alleyways carry spices, souvenirs, and special handicrafts. Relax and prepare for the next exciting leg of your journey visit the following day to the coastal gem of Alexandria.
After you have enjoyed a delicious breakfast as you retire at your hotel in Cairo, take off from there into a driving scene to Alexandria, that pretty Mediterranean city of Egypt that is peppered with beautiful history and culture. Breathtaking views of the desert meeting the coastline accompany this legendary city, founded by Alexander the Great.
First will be a magnificent visit to the Qaitbay Citadel, which was constructed in the 15th century on the ruins of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Then you travel on to the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina tribute of the great old Great Library of Alexandria, where you visit rare manuscripts and impressive exhibition spaces: finally, the eerie but wonderful Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa descend-an ancient Roman burial site styled in an amalgamation of Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman architectural features.
Stroll through Montaza Gardens, once reserved for Egyptian royalty, and marvel at the glorious palaces of King Farouk. Before leaving, soak up the charming seaside ambiance of the city with a stroll along the Corniche, enjoying breathtakingly beautiful views of the Mediterranean. After a fruitful day of exploration and discovery, return to Cairo to board a flight back to Hurghada, from where you gravely take home the memories of Egypt's most iconic cities.
