In a modern, air-conditioned vehicle, you will travel four hours from Cairo to the Bahariya Oasis. Once there, you will visit the ticket office in the center of Bawiti Village and see the Museum of Golden Mummies. The foundations of an Alexander the Great temple and large Greco-Roman graveyards where the mummies were unearthed are also remnants of that time period. The Temple of Muftell, which was built by the Egyptian pharaohs and dedicated to the deity Bis, is the last place you may enjoy sightseeing.

The tombs of the area's nobles or 26th dynasty kings will also be seen. You'll have a fascinating experience eating lunch at a restaurant that resembles an oasis, which we'll drive you to. Then, we'll take a unique White Desert Safari excursion to Cairo before returning to the White Desert. On the way, we'll pass by the Valley of El Haize, a lush settlement in the heart of the desert south of the oasis and before the Black Desert. We might even make a detour to see the nearby water spring if we have time. Visit the Valley of Agabat to enjoy the thrill of sandboarding down the gigantic sand dunes, the magnificent formations, and the petrified wood, as well as Crystal Mountain, to see ancient quartz crystal formations. We will enjoy camping in the White Desert, where we will have the uncommon opportunity to see an amazing sunset, while your local guides make your meal.

The next morning, you will awaken to the most romantic scene of the sun rising in the White desert after spending the evening gazing at the magnificent stars distant from the smoke of the major towns.
 

Breakfast will be served in the White Desert on the second day, allowing visitors to marvel at the spectacular surroundings. Then, as part of your Cairo Day Tours, you'll visit the desert and nearby springs and snap photographs of the breathtaking white limestone rocks there, including the chicken formation, the rock that resembles the sphinx, the whale carved out of the rock, and the hill that resembles a rabbit. Then, while passing through the Black Desert, an area of magnificent mountains covered in small black volcanic rocks, you will be transported to Cairo.

All trips are now undertaken to Wadi El Ryan, which was designated a protected area in 1989. The Wadi Hitan Protected Area is located around 90 kilometers from Fayoum, where we will start our tour (Valley of the Whales). Wadi Hitan, commonly known as the Valley of the Whales, is located inside the Wadi El Rayan Protected Area and was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site because of the discovery of whale skeletons there that date back 40 million years. On the way to Wadi El Rayan Water Falls, you can see Mudawara Mountain.

After checking in, we begin our excursion with a photo stop at Qaitbey's Citadel, which is regarded as one of the most significant defensive strongholds not only in Egypt but also along the Mediterranean Sea coast. The Citadel was an important part of Alexandria's defence system in the 15th century A.D. It is situated at the eastern tip of Pharos Island, close to the eastern harbor's entrance. It was constructed on the exact site of the famed Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The huge Montazah Royal Palaces and Gardens, which belonged to Mohamed Ali Pasha's royal family from Khedive Abbas Helmy II to King Farouk I, are then open for your exploration. On our way to the gardens, we will pass Stanley Bridge, one of Alexandria's breathtaking new buildings. The 3000-meter-wide gardens may be explored; they are home to a broad range of trees and plants, some of which are very rare. Several tropical plants are still in fantastic shape despite having been planted more than 75 years ago.

We'll end our wonderful tour at the Modern Alexandria Library (see its free exhibits and open court). The Old Library had a huge book collection that was well-known across the world and contained both works of literature and several branches of science. It endured repeated injuries during the Greco-Roman era until it vanished. The project of rebuilding the library started in the later half of the 1980s of the previous century. Four basement floors and six above levels make up the contemporary Alexandrian library. The peculiar form of the contemporary Alexandria library is recognised as a special architectural gene.

The concluding site on our tour of Alexandria is the Roman Amphitheatre, also known as Kom el-Dikka. Right in the center of Alexandria, there is a big Roman theatre and housing complex. This incredibly well-preserved structure has thirteen terraces and is the only Roman amphitheater that is known to exist in Egypt. It was constructed in a classical Greek style.

In Siwa, we have supper and stay the night.

After breakfast, your tour guide will take you to your hotel in Alexandria for the night. Next, we'll visit The Alexandria Museum, the country's first museum and home to more than 200,000 items. All eras of Egyptian history, from the Old Kingdom to the Roman era, are represented in the museum's collection.

After that, we'll travel to a nearby restaurant for lunch before going to Alexandria's The Jewelry Museum, which has a collection of over 30,000 pieces of jewellery. From the Old Kingdom through the Roman era, jewellery from every phase of Egyptian history is represented in the museum's collection. We'll take you back to your hotel to spend the night.

The proportionately higher prices for people traveling alone (Solo Travelers) mostly result from the higher overnight-room costs, as normally almost all hotel rooms are structured for 2 people who can each assume half of the overnight costs. This also applies to flat-rate travel. The hotels would not benefit from offering a reduction to solo travelers when the rooms could be occupied by 2 persons at a normal price. During the low season, some hotels lower the prices as a reason for the decreased demand since they have a large number of beds when the demand is not too high.
Prices vary throughout the year depending on the offer and request. During the summer and especially during the holidays that are considered high seasons like the Christma and New Year holidays, Easter holidays, and special events such as sports championship or destinations that are very popular and recent. Therefore tour operators can demand higher prices according to the increasing cost of accommodation and/ or implementation.
Most trips can also be booked for a shorter or longer period. However, if, for example, your departure time is changed, trips lasting 5 or 10 days will not be possible, that’s why we always request the flight details before proceeding with the booking, just to make sure the last suggested itinerary is fit for both the traveler and the operator.
From the date of booking until 46 days before your arrival date, 10% of the entire tour price will be charged. Between 45 and 31 days before your arrival date, 20% of the entire tour price will be charged. Between 30 and 15 days before your arrival date, 50% of the entire tour price will be charged. Between 14 and 1 days before your arrival date, 100% of the entire tour price will be charged.
