Cairo & Alexandria Tour from Aswan

You have traveled to Egypt's cities known for their allure-Cairo and Alexandria-around the last bend in the journey. Your first destination is Cairo, where history mingles with modernity. The Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx, emblems of the grandiloquence of Egypt, can be visited. Trace the glories of ancient Egypt at the Egyptian Museum, which houses a vast collection of antiquities, including King Tut's golden mask. In the bustling landscape of Khan El Khalili Bazaar, soak in the atmosphere of Cairo; shop for souvenirs, and treat yourself to some delicious Egyptian food.

Moving on from Cairo, the journey will take you to Alexandria, directly placed on the Mediterranean Coast, with its vibrant character and historical charm. The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the ancient marvels of creation that serve as a burial ground, draw a blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences; do visit these catacombs. To watch the glittering expanse of the Mediterranean, visit the Citadel of Qaitbay, erected on the remains of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. The introduction of modernity to the interior of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which pays tribute to the ancient Great Library of Alexandria, will give a sense of the glory the city once possessed. Walking along the Corniche, you will have a feeling of the melding of history and seafront beauty that exuberates Alexandria.  

With the two beautiful cities explored, there follows a return to Aswan, covered in memories of the glorious past and present of Egypt. Having it all, the historic sites, cultural encounters, and picturesque scenery make this journey a must-do for history buffs and travelers wanting to explore the drapes of Egypt's different heritage.
