Itinerary:
Our driver will take you to your desired hotel and make sure that the check-in process goes smoothly.
Get set for an amazing tour of Giza – we’re talking pyramids, ancient cities, and more! At 8:30 in the morning, our friendly guide from Sand Kings Egypt will pick you up from your Cairo hotel.
They know a ton about Egypt’s history, so you’re in for a treat!
First, we’ll visit the Three Great Pyramids of Giza: Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. After that, we’ll head over to the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple. You’ll be amazed by these ancient wonders!
Next, we’ll check out the Step Pyramid of King Djoser at Saqqara. This pyramid is super old – it’s the first-ever building made of limestone in Egypt.
It was built during the Old Kingdom period, which was a really, really long time ago. While we’re at Saqqara, you’ll also see some incredible tombs. Despite being over 4000 years old, the colorful scenes painted on their walls still look fresh and vibrant.
Afterward, we’ll visit the Memphis Museum, where you’ll see a huge statue of King Ramses II. You’ll see him lying down, standing up in a garden, and even a special alabaster Sphinx that’s unique to Memphis.
Finally, we’ll drive you back to your hotel in the same car, wrapping up a day filled with ancient wonders and unforgettable sights!
Then our driver will take you back to your hotel to rest a bit, then will come again at 07:00 PM to pick you up the Dinner Cruise to enjoy the beauty of the Nile and watch the belly dance and Orientale shows for 2 hours, then will transfer you to the Hotel to Rest and prepare for the 3rd day Journey.
Get ready for a fun-filled day tour of Alexandria! We’ll pick you up from your hotel at 7:00 in the morning.
Our friendly tour guide will take you to some really cool places in Alexandria.
First, we’ll explore the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa – they’re these super old burial spots carved into the rock from Roman times.
After that, we’ll check out Pompay’s Pillar, a tall, fancy column built to honor Emperor Diocletian way back in the 4th century.
Next, we’ll take a break for lunch at a local restaurant where you can get a taste of Alexandria’s yummy food. Once we’re all filled up, it’s off to the Qaitbey Citadel. It’s an old but really important fortress that was used to protect the city.
We’ll end our day by visiting the Roman Theatre and the famous Library.
The library is not just a place with lots of books, but it’s also a huge cultural center. So buckle up – it’s gonna be a great day!
This full-day Cairo city tour kicks off at 8:30 AM with a hotel pickup. You'll explore some of the city's most iconic landmarks, starting with the Citadel of Salah El Din. This historic fortress, built in the late 12th century, offers panoramic city views and houses a mosque and a palace.
