Tour Plan
Day 1: Arrive To Cairo - Visit Cairo Landmarks
Your 2-day tour to Cairo and Alexandria will start in Aswan, where you will catch a flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your tour guide, who will accompany you on a visit to several prominent tourist sites in Cairo, beginning with:
The Giza Pyramids Complex: This place was like a time capsule that preserved the essence of the Ancient Egyptians for 4000 years. The Giza complex is surrounded by three large, the most grandiose, pyramids and six little ones, with the grand sphinx and the valley temple.
The Great Pyramid: The Great Pyramid of Giza, built around 2580 BC for Pharaoh Khufu, shines with a bright, sandy-gold hue. This monumental structure is one of the most significant human-made wonders, constructed using 2.3 million limestone blocks over 15 years and standing 147 meters (481 feet) tall. It is the only surviving original Wonder of the Ancient World. The interior includes the King's Chamber and Queen's Chamber, showcasing masterful design, while the true origins of this incredible feat remain an enduring mystery.
The Great Sphinx: The Great Sphinx, or "Horus, the Earth-Touching," is a remarkable Giza structure built during King Khafre's reign (2558–2532 B.C.). It features a lion's body and a human face, symbolizing the king's strength and intelligence.
The Valley Temple: A Valley Temple is located in a river or stream valley. The mummification process, known as the opening of the mouth ritual, focused on eternal life. Constructed during the Egyptian Old Kingdom (2686 - 2134 BC) under King Khafre, the well-preserved valley provides valuable insights into Ancient Egyptian burial practices.
The Grand Egyptian Museum: This highlights a key achievement of ancient Egypt, showcasing the influence of new generations inspired by this civilization.
The text covers three main archaeological complexes: the Hanging Obelisk, the statue of King Ramses II, and the ten statues of King Senusert, along with the Grand Staircase and Ptolemaic monarchs' statues. It also mentions the Victory Column of King Merneptah, the Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium & Gift Shop.

Finally, by the evening, you will get to stay in a grand, 5-star hotel in Cairo for the night.
Day 2: Visit Alexandria Attractions - Fly Back To Aswan
Later, after breakfast, do the check-out process at your hotel in Cairo. And move to the main area of Alexandria, which is located on the Mediterranean Sea. Have a blast hanging out with the most incredible places to visit in Alexandria, such as:
The Qaitbay Citadel: The Mameluke Dynasty built the Qaitbay Citadel between 1477 and 1479 AD on the northern side of the city, where the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood. This notable Islamic monument is distinguished by its striking golden appearance.
The Alexandria Library: The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a modern marvel built to honor the Great Library of Alexandria. Established in 2002, it showcases ancient Egyptian artifacts and includes impressive art galleries, state-of-the-art facilities, and a collection of eight million books.
Lunch Meal: Revel in a tasty meal at a restaurant in Alexandria and embark on a trip to:
The Pompey's Pillar: Pompey's Pillar is a Roman triumphal column made of red granite, honoring Emperor Diocletian's achievements from 298 to 302 AD.
The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa: Also known as the Mound of Shards, it is a popular attraction in Alexandria. Built between the 2nd and 4th centuries A.D. during the Greco-Roman period, one family exclusively used this site. It features remarkable artistry, making it a celebrated medieval marvel.
Finally, you will be taken to the airport, where you will fly back to Aswan, and then you will be taken to your hotel.
