4 Days Egypt vacation to Cairo, White desert, and Alexandria

At 8:00 am, our tour guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza and prepare for your private day tour to Giza Pyramids and sphinx

The Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest and largest of the pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, will be your first stop. It is sometimes referred to as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops. It is the oldest and only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that has fully survived.

The Pyramid of Chephren or Khafre will thereafter be our next stop. The tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren), who ruled between 2558 and 2532 BC, is located in this pyramid, which is the second highest and biggest of the three ancient Egyptian pyramids at Giza. Next, we will visit the Pyramid of Mykerinus.

Additionally, we will visit the King Chephren Valley Temple. While doing so, you may get a closer look at the Great Sphinx, a fabled protector with a lion body and the head of king Chephren that guards a vast burial complex. Take a camel ride near the Giza Pyramids in the desert.

After that, we'll go to the Egyptian Museum, which houses a priceless collection of more than 250,000 authentic artefacts that date as far back as 5000 years. There's also a special exhibit there for Tutankhamen, which features a collection of treasures, gold, and jewellery that was discovered in 1920 during the excavation of his tomb.

The Saladin Citadel was built by Salah al-Din in 1183 AD as a bulwark against Crusader troops, and we will then drive up to it. It is currently a restored historic site with mosques and museums, notably the Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, and is well-known for its clean air and expansive views of Cairo.

Lunch will be given at an Old Cairo restaurant.

Visit Old Cairo next to view the Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, Church of St. Barbara, and Church of Abu Serga, one of the first Coptic churches in Cairo, among other notable Cairo landmarks.

Continue on to one of the Middle East's oldest bazaars, Khan el-Khalili. Learn about the confusing network of alleyways that has served as Cairo's commercial hub since the 14th century.

at end , transfer you to your cairo hotel and overnight.

At 06:00 am Drive to the Bahariya Oasis, which is around 350 kilometres east of Cairo, at the scheduled time after picking you up from your accommodation in Giza or Cairo. The Bahariya oasis and White desert tour takes around four hours. Once you reach Baharyia Oasis, you'll meet your safari guide, get in your 4x4 Jeep, and begin your adventure.

Go by car to the black desert. Its mountains, hills, and dunes are all covered with a thin layer of black powder, hence the name. The lunch will be provided here at the El Haize oasis, which is situated 37 kilometres from Bawiti. This powder covers the peaks of various mountains.

You may relax before lunch by soaking in a hot spring, which will almost immediately lower your stress levels. Natural muscular relaxation brought on by the heat fosters a peaceful, contented, and quiet state of mind.

You will stop at Crystal Mountain, sometimes referred to as Gebel al-Izzaz locally, on the way back. The quartzite crystals that compose the hill, which can be seen on the right, are what give it the nickname "the Jewel of the Desert" and give it its stunning appearance when illuminated by the sun. That natural feature was discovered by chance a few decades ago.

Arrive in the Valley of Agabat, which is located deep within the white desert. To truly experience the place's otherworldly splendour, you must be there. The location was formerly submerged in water millions of years ago. Over the years, distinctive limestone rock formations have appeared. Next, you'll experience the desert by exploring Wadi el Agabat by Jeep 4x4 and enjoying sandboarding.

The most well-known desert site in Egypt is the White Desert National Park, which we will then tour.There are hundreds of pictures here, and each one looks like an animal: Camels, tents, a sphinx, and mushrooms

then make your way back to your Cairo hotel.

Start your private tour of Alexandria from Cairo at 7:00 am, when one of our Egyptologists picks you up from your hotel and drives you the 220 kilometers northwest to Alexandria. arrive at 10:00 in Alexandria

The Catacombs in Alexandria are a good place to start your day excursion. The catacomb of Kom el Shoqafa, which was used to house the deceased for the following 200 years, is thought to have been constructed in the second century A.D., according to archaeologists. During this time in Alexandria's history, there was a significant blending of many cultures. Of course, there was the 4,000-year-old ancient history of the great Egyptian kingdoms.

After there, we'll move on to Pompey Pillar. The legend surrounding the name alludes to the potential location of the Roman general's grave when he fled to Egypt and was killed there after losing a crucial conflict with Caesar in Greece. The red granite column was most likely constructed as a tribute to Emperor Diocletian. It is currently 25 metres high and Alexandria's highest ancient monument.

The Citadel of Sultan Qeitbay, which was built in the 15th century by Mamlouk Sultan Qeitbay to protect the city from the threat of Crusaders, will be our next stop. This magnificent Islamic monument was built using the remains of the old Lighthouse, which Ptolemy 11 had built in the third century a.c.

Lunch in an Egyptian restaurant in Alexandria

Then, we'll go on to the Library of Alexandria, which was revived in October 2002 in order to restore its illustrious past. It is a large complex that brings together the arts, history, philosophy, and science in addition to being an incredibly beautiful edifice. Additionally, the variety of activities it provides have transformed it into a venue for open discourse, communication, and comprehension.

drive back to your hotel in Cairo

On the final day of your Egypt travel packages, breakfast will be given at the hotel. We kindly ask that you check out of the hotel by 12:00 PM and, if you have time, do one of our optional Cairo day tours. After you've enjoyed your 4-day short stay in Cairo, your private Egyptologist guide will drive you to Cairo International Airport for your last departure.
