Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Pyramids of Giza / Sakkara / Egyptian Museum

Pyramids of Giza and Sakkara

This day starts with a visit to Cairo's greatest highlight – after breakfast, your guide will take you to the legendary:

Pyramids of Giza

The three famous Pyramids of Giza are the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, built around 2600 BC on a large limestone plateau. The Great Pyramid of Cheops is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids, standing at 147 meters tall. It was built as a tomb for the Egyptian King Cheops. We will first admire this largest pyramid, followed by the Pyramid of Chephren and the Pyramid of Mykerinos.

Afterward, we head to a plateau offering a beautiful panoramic view of the three Pyramids of Giza.

The Sphinx

The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man, measuring approximately 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height, situated in front of the Pyramid of Chephren.

Following the exploration of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, enjoy an oriental lunch at a local restaurant. Strengthened, you proceed to your next destination, the Necropolis of:

Saqqara

Saqqara is one of the oldest and largest cemeteries in Egypt, where you can see the first pyramid in Egypt, the Step Pyramid of King Djoser from the 3rd Dynasty around 2650 BC. It consists of six steps and stands 62 meters high. This pyramid marked the beginning of the first phase of pyramid construction in Egypt. Although initially planned as a square mastaba by Imhotep, it has recently become possible to visit the Step Pyramid from the inside.

You can also admire the beautiful tombs from the Old Kingdom with their special paintings.

After the last highlight of this eventful day, you will be taken back to your hotel.

Day 2: Alexandria

Alexandria Tour

Today's morning is dedicated to the Pharaohs. After breakfast at the hotel, you will be picked up to visit the impressive:

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa

Built in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, the Catacombs form the largest known Roman burial site in Egypt and one of the last major structures dedicated to the religion of ancient Egypt. They were discovered by chance in the early 20th century.

Qaitbay Citadel

Constructed by Sultan Ashraf Qaitbay from 1477 to 1479 on the ruins of the famous lighthouse (Pharos), the Citadel served as a defensive fortress on the Mediterranean coast in Alexandria.

The Library of Alexandria was opened in 2002 near the site of the ancient Library of Alexandria. It is equipped with 2000 reading places and shelf space for 8 million books.
