4 Days Alexandria and Cairo Christmas tour

You will meet your English-speaking Egyptologist tour guide after breakfast to begin your tour of Alexandria.

Start your tour with Pompey's Pillar, which was constructed in 297 BC to commemorate an emperor named Diocletian's triumph over an uprising in Alexandria. Diocletian controlled Rome from 284 to 305 BC and also established control over Egypt. You will then be taken to the Kom El Shokkafa Catacombs, which is one of the biggest Roman burial sites that was only found at the beginning of the 20th century. The Citadel of Qaitbay, which was erected on the remains of the historic Lighthouse Pharos of Alexandria, will be your next stop. You will travel down the coast to get there. It is in a prime location at the tip of a short peninsula that extends into the Eastern Port.

The earliest repository for scientific knowledge in recorded history is the Bibliotheca of Alexandria. It was established at the beginning of the third century BC and is situated in the name-giving city, facing the Mediterranean.

When visiting Alexandria, you should eat seafood. Enjoy your meal today, which is prepared with the finest ingredients, and then let us take you to the hotel.

In the morning, savour a delectable breakfast at your Alexandria hotel. Then, when you arrive in Cairo to see the Pyramids of Giza, our licenced tour guide will meet you and take you to the following historical sites:

The enormous Great Pyramid of Cheops is located in Egypt's Giza Necropolis. The Great Pyramid is one of the most well-known pyramids in the entire globe.

In the Old Kingdom, the Great Pyramid was constructed about 4500 years ago. As your tour guide explains the history of the pyramid, you are free to explore it or take pictures.

The son of Cheops, Chephren, constructed a pyramid in Giza that was marginally smaller than that of his father. He also constructed Egypt's biggest sphinx, the well-known Sphinx.

King Mycerinus' third pyramid is a sizable, spectacular building. It serves as a reminder of the great king who constructed it and is a crucial piece of history.

From a high vantage point, you can see the smallest royal pyramid in Giza, which was constructed for King Mycerinus of the 4th dynasty. A camel ride through the Giza Pyramids is an additional option that will allow you to get some stunning images.

The Great Sphinx is a sizable statue with a menacing appearance. It is one of the most well-known ancient structures in the world and is thought to have been constructed around 2500 BC.

The lion statue guarded the necropolis and was made from a single, sizable stone. It resembled a human and was as powerful as a lion.

People go to the Valley Temple to pray and learn about God. It is very vital to keep in mind that this site is special and that you should respect it.

Before visiting the Egyptian Museum, which is a renowned Egyptian museum that houses many ancient Egyptian artefacts, we will transfer you to a local Egyptian restaurant for lunch.

In different parts of the museum, some of these artefacts are on exhibit, while others are preserved in storage. Directly in front of the Sphinx lies one of Egypt's oldest temples, which was constructed to aid in a ceremony that would allow a mummy to eat, drink, and speak normally in the afterlife. The Egyptian Museum is a must-see if you're ever in Egypt and wish to visit a museum!

After the tour is over, we'll take you back to your hotel in Alexandria.

You will check out of the hotel after breakfast and be driven to Burg Al Arab Airport by the tour guide to catch a flight to your ultimate destination.
