Tuesday. Welcome to Egypt! Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel in a shared coach with other members of the tour.
During the transfer, make sure to take in the panoramic views of the Citadel, the imposing Mohamed Ali Mosque, and notable landmarks such as Sultan Hassan and El Refaie mosques.
In the evening, enjoy dinner with us at a local restaurant - the perfect way to kick off your exciting Egyptian adventure!
Start your day with breakfast at the hotel, before venturing out for a guided tour to one of the seven wonders of the world - the Pyramids of Giza. Make sure to visit the Cheops Pyramid, as its interior burial chambers are open for visits by the public. Not far from the Pyramids, you will also visit the Great Sphinx of Giza. This unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion's body. Following this, enjoy a quick visit to either the papyrus institute or a perfume shop.
Enjoy lunch then continue the tour at the Egyptian Museum. The museum exhibits over 120,000 objects ranging from the pre-historic era to the Greco Roman period. Marvel at wonderous artefacts, as you discover the museums' various statues, jewels, and Tutankhamen treasures.
Finally, head downtown to Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Navigate its enchanting narrow alleyways and explore an array of souvenir stores. Here, amidst the vibrant atmosphere, uncover small restaurants and cafes frequented by both locals and tourists. Afterwards, we'll head back to the hotel to refresh before a local dinner.
Cairo - Alexandria - Cairo. Kickstart your day with an early breakfast in Cairo before venturing to Alexandria via the desert road (approximately 225 km). Explore the city's highlights, including Pompey's pillars, the Catacombs, and Montazah Gardens. Catch glimpses of the iconic Alexandrina Bibliotheca and Qaitbay Citadel.
Lunch at a local restaurant is followed by a return journey to Cairo, where dinner at a restaurant awaits.

In the afternoon, set sail towards Kom Ombo, where the enchanting Ptolemaic Temple awaits. Dedicated to the deities Sobek and Heroeris, this unique temple offers insights into the ancient Egyptian pantheon. As the day unfolds, the cruise continues its journey.
