As part of your classic 7-day Cairo Alexandria Nile cruise tour, the first thing to do in Cairo is to visit the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx. Your guide will provide you with an overview of the history of the pyramids and the Sphinx and how they were built. Next, depending on which order you’d like to visit the tour, you can go to the Pyramids of Saqqara, where you can find the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, an essential highlight among Cairo historical tours, which was constructed by the architect Imhotep.

After having your lunch, you will proceed to visit the Dahshur pyramids, where you are free to view the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, which was constructed by King Senefru. Next, pay a visit to Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt, to capture an opportunity to see a colossal image of Ramses II and some other historical monuments. Your guide will then return you to your hotel to freshen up and check in before the next activity.

Your driver and guide will transfer you to Alexandria as part of your Cairo to Alexandria private day tour, and then the morning starts with a visit to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, followed by 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.

Magico Egitto

Mar 2025 • Couples My husband and I had a great time. The agency has arranged a tailor-made itinerary for us, providing great accommodation, excellent guides in Italian, an efficient transport service and assistance in Italian for the duration of the trip. During our stay we requested some additions to the program (during the month of Ramadan and most archaeological sites and museums close very early, between 15 and 16) and we were always satisfied.
