Explore the Wonders of Ancient Egypt on a 15-Day Classic Tour!

Hello from Cairo! At Cairo International Airport, our tour guide will be waiting for you with a sign bearing your name to help you with all the necessary formalities as you start your trip to Egypt. From the airport, you'll ride in your luxurious, air-conditioned vehicle to go to your hotel. When you arrive at the hotel, our tour guide from Cairo Top Tours will help you check in without incident. He will also go through the schedule for your Egypt Travel Packages with you to confirm the pick-up times for each of the individual tours.

Cairo's overnight stay

Welcome beverage

Before beginning your Cairo Day Tours to the Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara, have your breakfast at the hotel.

You will be escorted by our tour guide to the Giza pyramids where you can view the Great Pyramid of Cheops as well as the pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus. Then travel to the Valley Temple of Monarch Chephren, where his royal corpse had been mummified before burial, where you will see the Great Sphinx, the Pharaoh's head, and the body of a lion to symbolise the might and wisdom of the king. Your guide will go over each step of the mummification process with you.

Lunchtime has arrived! After stopping for lunch, which will be provided at a high-quality restaurant, you'll be taken to Sakkara to see the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, which is thought to be the oldest man-built structure constructed completely of stone in the whole world (Djoser Pyramid). Additionally, you will see the Kagemni tomb, one of the noble tombs at Sakkara owned by the son-in-law of King Teti, as well as the pyramid of Teti, which has the most spectacular interior of all the accessible pyramids of Egypt (neither of which require an additional ticket). These sites allow you to see daily life scenes from ancient Egypt with all of its activities inscribed and painted on the walls and corridors of the tombs.

After that, we'll transport you to Memphis, which is only 20 minutes away from Saqqara and includes an outdoor museum where you can see sculptures and other relics from the ancient city of the pharaohs, including the enormous statue of Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx constructed from an eighty-ton marble block.

After your trip is done, you'll be taken back to your hotel for the night.

Meals: Breakfast and Lunch

You will be picked up from your hotel by an experienced tour guide from Cairo Top Tours to begin the tour of Coptic Cairo and the Egyptian museum. You will be taken to the Egyptian Antiquities Museum. Enjoy a journey through the rich history of ancient Egypt while viewing the largest collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts, which is on display. Your Egyptologist tour guide will go over all the highlights, including King Tutankhamen's treasures, which are the only royal treasures to have been discovered intact. They consist of a sizable collection of gold and jewellery that was buried under the sand for more than three thousand years before the tomb was excavated in 1 BC.

Your tour guide will take you on a tour of Old Cairo, where you will see the Citadel of Salah El Din and the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali inside. The Citadel is regarded as the administrative centre of Egypt because it was built there from Salah Edin until the reign of King Farouk in the first half of the 20th century and is modelled after Istanbul's famed Blue Mosque.

You will first stop for lunch at a high-quality restaurant before travelling to Coptic Cairo to begin your well-known and frequently visited Coptic Cairo tour. You will be amazed by The Hanging Church, one of the highlights of old Cairo, and you will also stop at the Church of St. Sergius, also known as the Cavern Church, which was constructed above the crypt where the Holy Family spent nearly three months and the well where the Holy Family drank. Finally, you will proceed to the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which is said to have been the location of the pharaoh's palace where Moses picked up the basket from the Nile.

Continue with our Cairo Sightseeing Tours to see the different remnants of ancient Cairo to view the historic walls, mosques, and Islamic Cairo excursions. The city's mediaeval madrasas, sails, and gates, as well as its ancient stone-paved alleys, date to the 10th century. The stroll concludes with tea at Fishawy's Oldest Cafe in Khan El Khalili, the ancient market.

In the early morning, a knowledgeable tour guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel in Cairo, to begin one of our spectacular day trips from Cairo that explores the biggest Oasis in Egypt. The largest oasis in Egypt is called Fayoum, and it is treated as a separate governorate. The crocodile god Sobek used to be their national deity in ancient times, and the province of El Fayoum, which is 95 kilometres south of Cairo, can be reached by car in a few hours. Its modern circumstances are largely due to numerous reforms carried out under Mohammed Ali Pasha around 200 years ago.

You will start your day trip from Cairo to El Fayoum by seeing the Tunis village and touring the ceramic art school when you get in Fayoum.

Enjoy the view of Lake Qaroun, the third-largest lake in Egypt and one of the oldest natural lakes in the world.

You will be transferred to Wadi El Rayan, which was formally established as a nature reserve in 1989. Wadi El Rayan is a distinctive nature protectorate located in the western desert, about 42 metres below the level of the sea. Enjoy your delicious lunch served during your Egypt tours in El Fayoum in the village of Tunis. You can enjoy sandboarding in El Fayoum inside of Wadi El Rayan, which has two lakes connected by Egypt's only waterfalls. These waterfalls were created in 1970 by an overflow of drainage water from the farmlands in Fayoum, providing a breathtaking view unmatched anywhere else in the world (waterfalls in the middle of the desert!).

After your trip from Cairo to Wadi El Rayan is done, we will convey you back to Cairo, which will take about two hours by land. You will have a stop on the way so you may stretch your legs or have a drink.

Your scrumptious lunch is included.

An experienced tour guide from Cairo Top Tours will greet you in the lobby of your hotel in Cairo or Giza to begin your Cairo Day Trips to Alexandria, the glittering gem of the Mediterranean and the most renowned city named for the Macedonian commander.

If you want to have a drink, use the toilet, or stretch out your legs along the trip, we'll stop at the closest rest area. The day starts with a visit to Pompey's Pillar, the sole remaining Roman temple pillar, which is situated on a rocky platform among the Serapeum's surrounding ruins. Next, you'll go to the medieval Citadel of Qaitbay, which was constructed in 1477 AD by the Mamluk Sultan.

It was erected during the Ptolemaic period on the same site as the old lighthouse in Alexandria, which was once one of the seven wonders of the ancient world but is no longer standing. Next, you'll head to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the last significant standing monument to the ancient Egyptians.

We shall then proceed to the Alexandrian Bibliotheca.

You will be driven to take a stroll along the corniche and the historic harbour of Alexandria, where you can observe the antique fishing boats, fisherman, and net makers. The pictures captured here are captivating. Finally, you will dine in a top-notch restaurant to savour your incredible, delectable lunch.
