4 Days Cairo short break packages to Alexandria, and white desert

The Great Pyramids of Giza, Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos are the first destination. When you arrive at your hotel, our tour guide will be there to pick you up and bring you in a modern, air-conditioned car to the Giza Pyramids. The Sphinx, a big burial complex's well-known protector with a lion's body and king Chephren's head, may also be seen up close. Continue to The Valley Temple, where the monks mummified King Chephren's remains, as accessing any of the pyramids needs additional tickets and is not included in the tour.

Next, we'll take you to a show. The Egyptian Museum, one of the biggest collections of antiquity in the world, is prominently located in Downtown Cairo, just north of Midan Tahrir. Along with the dazzling treasures of Tutankhamun and other prominent pharaohs, the massive, curiously pinkish edifice also stores corpses, burial goods, jewellery, eating utensils, and toys made by Egyptians whose names have since been forgotten. The museum is like a time machine that you can travel through.

Khan El-Khalili in Old Cairo, which was founded in the 14th century and has traditionally been a significant place for both commercial and cultural activity, will be our next stop. Here is a map that will help you navigate the Khan El-Khalili market and its surroundings.

returning you in the end to your accommodation in Cairo.

After being picked up at your Cairo lodging around six in the morning, the trip departs the city through the nearby desert landscapes. The beautiful Bahariya Oasis, which was formerly the primary agricultural hub of the Pharaonic Empire, is the day's first visit.

It is well known for having a lot of dates and olives. With the help of your guide, explore the oasis and take in the expansive setting of shaded palm trees and natural springs.

Visit the Black Desert after lunch for a breath-taking view of the region's craggy, mountain-like domes that stand out against the surrounding sand. Visit the Agabat valley, which has spectacular white cliff walls and yellow limestone rocks, after that.

Continue to Crystal Mountain, an incredibly rare structure that glistens and glows in the Egyptian sun and is composed completely of calcite crystal.

The White Desert, which received its name from the huge expanse of white sand it contains, is the next stop. It is possible to climb a few sand dunes for breath-taking views that never seem to end.

Finally, unwind while you travel back to Cairo; you'll get to your hotel around 11 PM.

take the Egyptologist tour guide from Your Egypt Tours along for an interesting trip from Cairo to Alexandria.

Alexandria, Egypt's second-largest city, is well-known for its Roman remains and has a more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern vibe. Your Egyptologist tour guide will give you a customised tour of Alexandria while imparting knowledge about the location.You decide how much time to spend at each location you stop at along the way. Alexandria was established by Alexander the Great as the capital of Greco-Roman Egypt in 332 B.C. The catacombs of Kom ash-Shuqqafa, a Roman cemetery with a family tomb that showcases the merger of Egyptian and Roman art and architecture, should be the destination of your first trip to this historic city. Visit Caracalla Hall and the tomb underneath.

Return to Pompey's Pillar once you are above ground. Built as an homage to Emperor Diocletian, who delivered the city from a siege and fed the starving citizens, this granite monument is 25 metres tall (82 feet). Your tour guide will also take you to the citadel of Qaitbay, which was constructed in 1477 to protect the city's eastern side, continuing the Roman motif. The substantial lighthouse at Alexandria stood close to the fort.

You'll tour the Alexandria Library following lunch (an extra fee). The Norwegian-designed skyscraper is a stunning example of contemporary architecture in contrast to the historic buildings found all around Egypt. The library is one of the biggest literary institutions in the world since it holds copies of every book ever written. The library has several historical displays in addition to a collection of priceless antiquarian books (additional cost).

then drive you back to your Cairo hotel.

You check out of your Cairo hotel after breakfast and are then picked up by our tour guide to be escorted to the international Cairo airport.
