5 Days Cairo and Alexandria Tour Package

After a satisfying breakfast, meet your professional guide at the hotel to begin an unforgettable tour exploring Egypt’s ancient wonders.

Your first stop will be the Giza Plateau, home to the majestic Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. These age-old monuments continue to astound visitors with their scale and mystery. Nearby stands the iconic Great Sphinx, its lion’s body and regal human face silently watching over the desert.

You'll also visit the Valley Temple, historically used for religious ceremonies and mummification, where you’ll soak in panoramic views of the pyramids and surrounding desert.

Pause for a delicious lunch at a handpicked local eatery.

Later, head to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)—a world-class facility showcasing thousands of archaeological treasures from Egypt’s rich past. Wander through its expansive halls filled with statues, royal relics, intricate jewelry, and everyday items that bring the stories of ancient Egypt to life. From the Old Kingdom through to the New, each exhibit offers fascinating context and detail.

After your tour, return to your hotel in comfort for a relaxing evening.

Optional Evening Experience: Pyramids Sound & Light Show – Travel back through time as lights and narration bring the history of Giza’s monumental pyramids to life. A mesmerizing event to cap off your day.

After breakfast, join your Egyptologist guide for a deep dive into the early pyramid-building era of ancient Egypt.

Start at Saqqara, home to the famed Step Pyramid of Djoser, the earliest large-scale stone construction ever built. Designed by the legendary architect Imhotep, this monument revolutionized royal tomb architecture and set the foundation for future pyramid design.

Next, travel to Memphis, the first capital of a unified Egypt. Once a thriving hub of culture and worship, this open-air museum now houses remarkable artifacts, including the enormous colossal statue of Ramses II and the alabaster Sphinx.

End your day at Dahshur, a tranquil site away from the crowds where you’ll find two experimental pyramids: the Bent Pyramid, recognized for its distinctive angled profile, and the Red Pyramid, the first successful smooth-sided structure and one of the largest pyramids in Egypt.

After a day rich in history, return to Cairo for the night.

Enjoy an early breakfast, then set off on a scenic drive north to Alexandria, the Mediterranean jewel of Egypt known for its Greco-Roman legacy and unique coastal charm.

Your visit begins with the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an underground burial complex that combines Egyptian, Greek, and Roman motifs, highlighting Alexandria’s multicultural heritage.

Continue to Pompey’s Pillar, an enormous Roman triumphal column erected in honor of Emperor Diocletian, and explore the surrounding ruins of the Serapeum, once a major temple dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian deity Serapis.

Break for a savory lunch at a recommended local restaurant.

Next, visit the Qaitbay Citadel, a 15th-century fortress built on the remains of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria—once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The fortress provides sweeping views of the sea and the city’s historic port.

End your visit with a stop at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern architectural masterpiece inspired by the legendary ancient library. This vast cultural institution houses millions of books, rare manuscripts, and engaging exhibitions dedicated to knowledge and learning.
