7-Day Trip to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor & Aswan

Your driver and guide will transfer you to Alexandria, and then the morning starts with a visit to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, then to Pompey’s Pillar, which is the tallest standing column in Egypt. You will then go to visit the Citadel of Qaitbay, which was built on the ruins of the Pharos lighthouse and offers wonderful sea views.

Then, you will tour the contemporary Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and you will visit the city’s central markets or regions, such as Squares and some very important monuments, which include the Unknown Soldiers statues. Your guide will then transfer you back to Cairo; however, you’ll have a stop at a local café for a tea or coffee break.
