Upon your arrival at Cairo Airport, our experienced representative will be ready to welcome you and assist you with various procedures, including check-in, security checks, and more...You will then be directed to the gate for your transfer in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a fluent English-speaking tour leader who will review your travel itinerary and provide you with important information about Egypt and valuable tips. Upon arrival at your hotel, your tour leader will escort you to your exclusive hotel and assist you with check-in.
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.

Alexandria might not be such a popular spot as Cairo (which is known for the Pyramids) and Luxor (the gateway to the Valley of the Kings) but it's certainly worth a visit. This town is flanked by long runs of shimmering sand and clear Mediterranean waters, along with countless hotels by the sea. And it fulls of the beautiful sites that you will definitely will love.
The official currency of Egypt is the Egyptian pound, abbreviated as EGP. The currency is often denoted by the symbol "£" or by the code "EGP." The Egyptian pound is further divided into smaller units, including piasters (or qirsh), with 100 piasters equaling 1 Egyptian pound.
When traveling in Egypt, it's advisable to have some Egyptian pound on hand for small expenses and to be aware of the current exchange rates. It's also relatively easy to exchange major foreign currencies, such as the US dollar and the euro, at banks, exchange offices, and hotels in Egypt, especially in tourist areas. Credit cards are widely accepted in larger establishments, but it's a good idea to carry some cash for smaller purchases and in more remote areas where card acceptance may be limited.
