    2 Days Cairo and Alexandria Tour Package
    Airport Arrival EgyptaTours’ delegated representative will be waiting for you at Cairo Airport to handle entry procedures, passport formalities, and luggage identification, after which you will meet your tour guide to begin the first day of your 2 Days Cairo and Alexandria Tour. By exploring:

    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. Your lunch meal will be provided during your Last Day in Your 2 Days Cairo and Alexandria Tour. Finally, we will drive you back to Cairo International Airport to catch your flight home or to your next destination, marking it the end of your 2 days Cairo and Alexandria tour package.

Family Tour We had Had a great tour with mona and Abdul to the pyramids and sphinx as well as a flexible tour to see some Egyptian historical sites. they guided us everywhere and was very detailed and knowledgeable in his explanations. We also had free time to roam as well and take some photos. It was nice to have an affordable private tour instead of navigating with a large group. Would recommend, thanks EgyptaTours!

Tour Review I planned a trip for my husband and I to come to Egypt for 2 weeks andI wanted to see as much as possible while we were here. I found EgyptaTours and was very pleased with the itinerary options they offered. My agent was super helpful in the planning process and the accommodations once we arrived to Egypt were OUTSTANDING. Our guides were fabulous, communicative, highly knowledgeable, and super friendly. They even allowed us to alter our itenerary in Egypt to allow us time to see some new things that we didn't know about while planning the trip! We had a wonderful experience and i recommend this company to anyone who wants to see Egypt and learn about the amazing history and culture.

Exceptional Service Highly Recommended Nile Cruise Booking Trying to organise a Nile Cruise can be challenging with so many options and so many different cruise companies and price points. I have recently booked a Nile Cruise with Egypta Tours and our personal tour operator Amr has been excellent, extremely responsive and stood out from all the other operators I engaged with during the research and booking process.
