Itinerary
Our tour starts from receiving you from your hotel in Aswan, then upon your arrival at Cairo International Airport, we will be waiting for you to transfer you to the Giza Pyramids. Discover the Pyramid of Khufu and learn from our guide about the situation of the Egyptians and the workers when they were ordered to build these huge pyramids. Were they happy while building tombs for their kings who represented a god to them, or were they angry at the hardship of this exhausting work?
Then you will see the Pyramid of Khafre, through which you will see part of the limestone that the Pharaohs used to cover the pyramids. Following that, we visit the Pyramid of Menkaure to learn about his rule, which brought about a number of changes, including the permission for wealthy senior officials to construct and embellish their own tombs. Then we move on to the Sphinx, and take pictures with it, kissing it, and other cute pictures.
Enjoy your lunch and if you have the energy for another activity, ask about our optional excursions such as a Nile dinner cruise or a visit to one of our wonderful museums.
Let's get ready for a completely different tour of the Bride of the Mediterranean. In the morning, we'll transfer you to Alexandria in one of Cairo Top Tours' vehicles. Upon arrival, we'll begin by visiting Pompey's Pillar. The Pompey's Pillar in the Serapeum Temple area in Alexandria is witnessing a remarkable turnout of visitors. The Pompey's Pillar is the highest memorial in the world and it also meets the criteria of exceptional universal value. Therefore, we take you there to learn about its history.
After that, we go to Kom El Shoqafa to learn about this tomb and the Egyptian religion and the Roman influence on it through the beautiful engravings on its walls, the most important of which is the presence of Osiris sleeping on a bed with a lion’s head in front of it and the god Anubis standing in front of him. Learn about this god and its importance in the Egyptian religion.
After that, we move to the Alexandria Library and see the museums that the library contains, such as the Anwar Sadat Museum, which includes his belongings, such as his shaving tools, his military uniform, and others. There is also the Shadi Abdel Salam Museum, an Egyptian director who loved directing historical films. Learn about art, history, and antiquities through our visit.
After visiting the Qaitbay Citadel, whose presence was essential for the defense of Alexandria's port, we head to a restaurant overlooking the citadel and the sea to enjoy a seafood meal. Afterwards, we head back to Cairo.
