Egypt has two very different faces, and four days is enough to meet both: the desert capital of the pharaohs, and the Mediterranean city built by Alexander the Great. This private package connects them in comfort.
Overview
Egypt has two faces, and this four-day package lets you meet both: the ancient desert capital of the pharaohs and the Mediterranean city of Alexander the Great. In Cairo you stand before the pyramids and the greatest museum in the country, and in Alexandria you taste sea air, Greek and Roman ruins and a library that carries the memory of the ancient world.
After your arrival and an easy first evening, day two takes you to the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx and then to Saqqara, where the Step Pyramid of Djoser tells the story of how pyramids began. On day three you drive to the Mediterranean coast to visit Pompey’s Pillar, the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, with a seafood lunch by the water. On your last morning you visit the Grand Egyptian Museum for the Tutankhamun collection before you transfer to the airport.
The package is private from the first hour to the last, with an Egyptologist who connects the Greek, Roman and Pharaonic layers of the country, and it is ideal for travelers who want more than the pyramids but do not have time for a full Nile journey.
If you are looking for a Cairo and Alexandria tour package that mixes desert and sea, history and ease, this four-day journey is a great choice. EgyptLens arranges the transfers, the three hotel nights with breakfast, the lunches as listed and the entrance fees, so you can focus on the stories.
