Itinerary
From your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, we will depart early in an air-conditioned car accompanied by one of our representatives there to Sharm El Sheikh Airport to take your flight to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, where we will enjoy an unforgettable experience. Upon your arrival in the land of eternal civilisation, our expert guide will accompany you throughout your trip to explore the following:
The three pyramids of Giza, which are a miracle that has stood tall for thousands of years. After admiring the splendor of the Khufu Pyramid, we will see the Khafre and Menkaure Pyramids and get a close-up look at the fabled Sphinx, whose magnificent face has protected the pyramids for centuries.
After this royal tour, we will move on to the most important stop of the day, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the jewel of Cairo and the largest museum housing artefacts of Pharaonic civilisation. There, you will enter the Hall of Treasures of Tutankhamun, where pure gold, gilded coffins, and dazzling masks await. You will also see the royal mummy halls, which preserve the features of kings as if they were still among us. The museum houses more than 120,000 artefacts, from huge statues to delicate jewellery, rare papyri, and everyday tools that reveal details of ancient Egyptian life. A visit to the museum is not just a tour but a journey through time where you can experience the details of a civilisation that preceded the world by thousands of years.
After enjoying a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants, we will transfer you to your hotel in Cairo to be ready for tomorrow's adventure.
Early in the morning, after breakfast at your hotel in Cairo, we will start our journey to Alexandria, the city that blends ancient history with the alluring ambiance of the sea, in a private vehicle with a knowledgeable guide.
Our first stop will be at the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a cultural and intellectual edifice that is considered one of the most important centres of learning in the world, where you will experience inspiring moments among thousands of books and manuscripts.
We will then move on to the Column of Serapis, the largest Roman monument in Egypt, which stands tall amid the ruins of the ancient Serapeum temple. Next, we will descend into the depths of history in the catacombs of Kom el-Shouqafa, unique tombs that blend Egyptian, Roman, and Greek art in a stunning architectural setting.
And because Alexandria is not complete without a visit to the sea, we will continue our journey to Qaitbay Citadel, the majestic fortress overlooking the deep waters of the Mediterranean, erected on the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here you can enjoy the breathtaking view and the fresh sea breeze, with the opportunity to take some unforgettable photos.
After an enjoyable tour, it's time for lunch to sample the freshest seafood at one of the Corniche restaurants, where delicious flavours blend with the unique atmosphere of the sea.
At the end of the day, you will return to Cairo to catch your flight to Sharm El Sheikh, where you will continue your adventure in the warm atmosphere of the Red Sea and its charming resorts.

Though most companies will use the same sites for their packages, this is mainly because the majority of visitors are experiencing Egypt for the first time, and so these are the “must-see” sites. Egypt has literally hundreds of ancient sites which can be visited and it only takes a request for them to be explored.
What you want to see and do in Egypt will largely determine your itinerary. Many of our tour packages are intended for travelers with only a week or so to spend in Egypt; however, if you want to take your time and truly experience everything the country has to offer, we advise two weeks or longer.
If you need to, you can renew your tourist visa for a longer period of time; however, you must do so by applying at the Mogamma building in Tahrir Square or at the comparable government offices in other well-known towns like Alexandria or Luxor.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, Khan el-Khalili, and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo are the must-see locations on the route from Cairo to Alexandria (with brief stops along the way). The Great Sphinx of Giza, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Alexandria Library are a few more well-liked destinations.
Among the most populated nations in both Africa and Western Asia is Egypt. The vast majority of its estimated 76 million[3] inhabitants reside in a region of around 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi) along the banks of the Nile River, which is the only area with arable land. The Sahara Desert has vast stretches of poorly populated land. The bulk of Egyptians dwell in urban regions, mostly in the heavily populated districts of Alexandria, greater Cairo, and other important cities in the Nile Delta. Approximately half of Egypt's population is urban.
Yes, it is generally safe to swim in the Red Sea at Sharm El Sheikh, but it's always advisable to follow safety guidelines and heed any warnings from local authorities.
