    Giza Pyramids Complex:

    Giza Pyramids Complex Located on the west bank of the Nile River, where the ancients chose for a variety of reasons, including the need for the pyramids to be on high ground to protect their structures from Nile flooding, and the second reason that this site is where the sun sets, which was required for the dead to enter the underworld according to their beliefs.

    The Great Pyramid:

    The Pyramid of Cheops, one of the ancient world’s seven wonders, was built in 2650 BC and stands 481 feet tall, making it the tallest Egyptian pyramid and the tallest structure in the world for more than 3,500 years. Ancient Egyptians used more than 2 million large blocks weighing about 6 million tons, which reflects the power and genius of the ancient Egyptians and also how stable the economy and politics were during this dynasty of ancient Egypt’s old kingdom.

    Sakkara Step Pyramid:

    The Pyramid of Djoser was built during the third dynasty of the Egyptian kingdom, and from the name of the pyramid, we find out that it was built for King Djoser’s burial. Djoser was the first king of the third dynasty, and he was known for his amazing tomb.

    The Great Sphinx:

    The great sphinx, also known as the loyal guard of the Giza Pyramids Complex, is a limestone statue considered the oldest monumental sculpture in Egypt, dating back to King Khafre (2558–2532 BC).

    The Valley Temple of Chephren:

    The valley temple is part of the Giza Pyramids Complex, and it is one of the best preserved temples of the old Kingdom. This amazing temple was covered by the sand till the nineteenth century. The valley dates back to the fourth dynasty of the old Egyptian kingdom, and it was constructed by King Chephren in a very special design and organized way.

    Mysterious Memphis City:

    Memphis City is located very near, south of Giza City, the first capital of Egypt, and was founded by King Menes. During the golden age of Egypt, Memphis was the main center of commerce, religion, and trade. Your lunch meal will be provided in the middle of your tour, and at the end of the day one Your 2 Days Cairo and Alexandria Tour we will drive you back to your 5-star hotel for the overnight.

    Kom El Shoqafa Catacomb:

    The catacombs were designed to be a tomb for one family, but for mysterious reasons they had to be bigger, consisting of three levels made of solid rocks, and you may ask now what the word “Kom El Shoqafa” means. Actually, this name came from the huge quantity of broken pottery that was found in the area.

    Qaitbay Citadel:

    The Qaitbay citadel is located on the coast of the Mediterranean at the same site as the magical lighthouse built by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qaitbay to serve as a strong fortress to protect Alexandria against the Ottoman Empire. Enjoy Your Lunch Meal and Continue Your 2 Days Cairo and Alexandria Tour

    Pompey’s Pillar:

    Pompey’s pillar is considered one of the largest columns that were built outside of Rome. The pillar stands at 28 meters in height and weighs about 285 tons. The pillar was built from red granite on the hilltop of a rocky area in the middle of Alexandria.

    Alexandria Library:

    The gorgeous Alexandria library was built by Ptolemy I Soter to be a house of more than 700,000 books. There are more than six specialized categories inside the library of Alexandria, such as the children’s library, the rare book collection, the maps library, and many more.
