About this tour
Discover the fascinating contrasts of northern Egypt with this comprehensive 4-day Cairo and Alexandria highlights tour, perfectly blending pharaonic wonders with cosmopolitan Mediterranean charm. Begin your Egyptian odyssey in Cairo, the 'Mother of the World,' where Islamic minarets pierce the skyline and ancient monuments stand testament to 5,000 years of continuous civilization. Explore the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World - the Great Pyramid of Khufu, built around 2580 BCE using over 2.3 million limestone blocks. Stand in awe before the enigmatic Great Sphinx, carved from a single piece of limestone 4,500 years ago, and visit the revolutionary Grand Egyptian Museum, showcasing Tutankhamun's complete treasure collection for the first time. Dive into Islamic Cairo's medieval streets, where the Citadel of Saladin has dominated the skyline since 1183 CE, and lose yourself in the labyrinthine Khan el-Khalili bazaar, where merchants have traded spices, perfumes, and handicrafts since the 14th century. Journey north to Alexandria, Cleopatra's legendary capital and the Mediterranean's pearl, where Greco-Roman heritage meets modern Egyptian culture. The ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria may be gone, but the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina rises like a phoenix, containing over 8 million books and manuscripts. Explore the haunting Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, a unique fusion of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman architectural styles dating to the 2nd century CE. This Egypt tour package includes comfortable accommodation and creates unforgettable memories spanning three millennia of human achievement.
