6-Day Cairo and Alexandria Trip Package

After breakfast in the morning, your driver and guide will drive you to the Giza Pyramids region in a private vehicle. The Pyramid of Khufu will be our first stop after you get there and board the local private bus. Khufu (or Cheops, 2551-2528) chose to move north, to Giza (near Cairo), to erect his own funerary monument. 

On this location, there would be three pyramid complexes, the first being this one. His son and successor Khafre (or Chephren, 2518-2492) and the son of him and Queen Khamerernebty I, Menkaure (or Mykerinos, 2492-2472) would follow in his footsteps... Khafre (or Khafre, 2518-2492) was the second King to pick Giza (near Cairo) as the location of his funeral structure, following Khufu (or Cheops, 2551-2528).  He was Khufu's fourth son.

Next, move on to the last pyramid with us, the Pyramid of Menkaure.We will also visit the Sphinx on our trip. We know the relationship between the Sphinx and the Pharaohs through the strange stories that have come down to us from their eras.

Some kings used the statue for political propaganda. Others came simply to worship it. Other kings came to hunt and stroll beside it. At the end, your driver will be with you back to the hotel.

In the morning, after breakfast, your guide will be in front of your hotel to take you to one of the most beautiful museums in Cairo. In addition to six other exhibitions covering topics such as civilization, the Nile, writing and the state, society, culture, beliefs and ideas, and the royal mummies exhibition, take a historical tour with your guide to learn about the museum's holdings in a permanent main exhibition that focuses on the most significant accomplishments of Egyptian civilization.

The museum displays the Egyptian human being in the various fields of life from the dawn of history until the present time, as the exhibition contains models, photographs, manuscripts, oil paintings, artifacts, monuments from the Stone Age, the Pharaonic, the Greek Roman, the Coptic, the Arab, the civilization of Sudan, and the modern era.

In the lower floor, a full hall where the royal seen is located, which was transferred to the Museum of Civilization, and the hall includes 22 ME. In the end, after enjoying lunch, you will be taken to the hotel.

In the morning, you will be transferred to the unique city of Alexandria to live an enjoyable adventure. The city of Alexandria was not built by Alexander for the Egyptians, but rather for his entourage and a reflection of his culture. Upon your arrival, we will start a trip to Kom El Shoqafa. Kom El Shoqafa revives the area's ancient Pharaonic name, Ra-Qadet, by being situated in the same location as the village of Rakotis, which is how the Romans referred to it.

You will be taken to Pompey's Pillar after finishing Kom El Shoqafa and touring the tomb to see its engraved characteristics and discover its religious importance. The Pompey's Pillar was erected as a colossal memorial on top of Bab Sidra hill in the hall of the Serapeum temple west of Alexandria.  In ancient times, the Pompey's Pillar was in the middle of a portico in the Serapeum temple that included 400 columns, some of which were thrown into the sea by one of the Nubian secretaries of Sultan Saladin in 1167 AD to increase the city's fortifications.

Next, we'll head to the Library of Alexandria for a unique tour to learn about the ancient, burned-out library, as well as the modern library, its most important museums, and the number of books it contains. Enjoy a stunning tour inside the library and learn about some of Egypt's most famous artists... The Qaitbay Citadel, which overlooks the sea for defense and security, will be our next stop.

Enjoy the history of the citadel and get ready to experience the most delicious seafood meal at our restaurant in Alexandria. It's a Sufi mosque in Egypt, built by an Italian engineer. At the end, you'll be transported back to Cairo.

Having breakfast in the morning, you will be driven from your Alexandrian hotel to El Alamein.  New El Alamein is a popular vacation and cultural resort that has become a Mediterranean treasure. Furthermore, its ground witnessed the final battle of World War II.  

You can visit the El Alamein Military Museum. The museum includes many halls that highlight the roles of Italy, Egypt, Britain and Germany, each of which has a separate, distinct hall. The Egypt Hall documents Egypt's role in World War II, both logistically and on the ground, in accordance with the treaty between Egypt and Britain, which occupied the country at the time, and the wartime losses Egypt endured.

You will then be taken to the Commonwealth Cemetery. 7,367 troops and commanders from Britain, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, France, Malaysia, and India are buried in the Commonwealth Cemetery in El Alamein's historic neighborhood.  The cemetery walls bear the names of 11,945 missing persons in war. Learn more about this war and the Italian and German cemeteries, then get ready to return to your hotel in Cairo.

Our representative will be waiting to take you to the airport after breakfast at your hotel. You might select one of our trips in Cairo if you have sufficient time. We wish you a pleasant flight.
