Additionally, there is a dedicated display for Tutankhamen there, which showcases a variety of artefacts, jewellery, and gold that were uncovered in 1920 during the excavation of his tomb.

We will drive to the Saladin Citadel, which Salah al-Din constructed in 1183 AD as a defence against Crusader forces. It is now a historically preserved area with mosques and museums, including the Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha. It is renowned for its fresh air and sweeping views of Cairo.

You will have lunch in a Egyptian restaurant.

Next, head to Old Cairo to explore some of Cairo's most famous landmarks, like the Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, Church of St. Barbara, and Church of Abu Serga, one of the first Coptic churches in the city.

Back to your hotel in Cairo and overnight

We will have a representative meet you at your hotel in Giza or Cairo to start your Bahariya Oasis. The trip to the White Desert and the Bahariya oasis lasts about four hours. As soon as you arrive at Baharyia Oasis, your safari guide will meet you and take you in a 4x4 Jeep and start your journey.

Take a trip to the dark desert by car. The name comes from the thin layer of black powder that coats all of the mountains, hills, and dunes there. At the El Haize oasis, you'll have lunch. The peaks of numerous mountains are covered in this powder.

A soak in a hot spring can help you relax before lunch and feel less stressed immediately. The heat causes a natural state of relaxation that can promote calmness, contentment, and silence.You'll make a stop at Gebel al-Izzaz, also known locally as Crystal Mountain. The hill's name, "the Jewel of the Desert," and its spectacular look when lighted by the sun are ascribed to the quartzite crystals that make up the hill. These crystals are unique to the area and were discovered a few decades ago.

If you're looking for a unique and stunning location to stay in the middle of the white desert, make your way to the Valley of Agabat. Here, you'll find a surreal landscape that's been carved out by millions of years of water. After your visit, take a sandboarding trip down the Wadi el Agabat by the Jeep 4x4 to see all the sights.

We'll take a tour of the White Desert National Park, which is one of the most well-known desert locations in Egypt.

The abundance of animal-themed images here makes for an elegant and persuasive gallery. A sphinx, a tent, camels, and mushrooms.

Then you will be transferred back to Cairo.

Our day will start by meeting our Egyptologists at 7:00 am in your accommodation in Cairo and deliver you for about 220 kilometers northwest to Alexandria to begin your private tour of Alexandria from Cairo, which are an excellent site to start your day trip. Archaeologists believe that the Kom el Shoqafa catacomb was built in the second century A.D. and that it was utilized to hold the dead for the next 200 years. The history of Alexandria at this time saw a remarkable mingling of various cultures. The 4,000-year-old historical history of the mighty Egyptian kingdoms was present, of course.

We'll continue on to Pompey Pillar after that. The name's origin story makes reference to where the Roman general, who fled to Egypt and died there after losing a major battle with Caesar in Greece, may have been buried. The red granite column was probably built as a memorial to Diocletian the Great. It is currently Alexandria's tallest ancient monument at 25 meters.

Our next trip will be the Qeitbay Citadel, which Mamlouk Sultan Qeitbay constructed in the 15th century to defend the city from the threat of Crusaders. The ruins of the previous Lighthouse, which Ptolemy 11 had built in the third century a.c., were used to construct this spectacular Islamic masterpiece.

then we can eat lunch at an Egyptian restaurant.

and after taht you will move to The Library of Alexandria will therefore be our next stop. It was reopened in October 2002 in an effort to resuscitate its glorious past. In addition to being a stunningly beautiful structure, it is a sizable complex that unites the arts, history, philosophy, and science. Additionally, the diversity of activities it offers has made it become a place for open conversation, understanding, and discourse.
