Cairo to Alexandria 6-Day Tour

Upon arriving at Cairo International Airport, you will be met by a professional tour guide who speaks English.

They will welcome you in a private, air-conditioned car and assist you with all the necessary formalities. Then, they will take you to the Cairo Pyramids hotel where you will stay overnight to rest and relax.

After your breakfast at the hotel, our tour guide will meet you in the lobby in the morning to begin your tour. Your first stop will be the Memphis Pyramid. Originally, the pyramid was about 52 meters high with a base measuring approximately 78 meters. However, a lot of the structure has been worn away or damaged over time, and today it stands at around 15 meters in height.

The Memphis Pyramid is different from other major pyramids in Egypt because it was not built using large, precisely cut stone blocks.

Instead, it was constructed using mud bricks that were later covered with limestone. This method of construction is one of the reasons why the pyramid has not lasted as long as similar structures at Giza and other sites in Egypt.

After having your morning meal, a trained tour guide will meet you at your accommodation in Cairo and lead you on an exciting journey to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC). This impressive museum features a wide collection of ancient artifacts, including sculptures, paintings, pottery, and jewelry, covering a vast span of history from prehistoric times up to the present day. One of the main attractions of the museum is the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can see the preserved remains of several pharaohs and queens from the New Kingdom, such as Ramses II and Hatshepsut.

The museum also includes interactive displays, multimedia exhibits, and educational activities that allow visitors to engage with Egyptian history and culture in an enjoyable and informative manner.

It also offers modern facilities like a gift shop, a restaurant, and a conference hall.

Next, you will be taken from Cairo to the Suez Canal in the city of Ismailia, located in northeastern Egypt on the western side of the canal.

Ismailia has a population of about 360,000 residents and is home to Suez Canal University as well as many cultural and historical sites.

While in Ismailia, you will have the chance to see the Suez Canal, a remarkable man-made waterway that links the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea.

This important route allows ships to travel between Europe and Asia without going around the southern end of Africa. You will get to witness the impressive engineering behind the canal and enjoy a panoramic view of the large vessels moving through it. Afterward, you will have a seafood lunch before being driven back to Cairo.

Day04: Visiting in Alexandria: Kom Ash Shoqafa, Pompey pillar, Bibliotheca Alexandria, Citadel of Qaitbay, and Sidi Morsi Abu al-Abbas Mosque.

After you rest at the hotel on the third day, we will take you to Alexandria, a city that offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the rich history and culture of Egypt. During your visit, you will explore several key attractions in the city:

Kom Ash Shoqafa: This ancient burial site dates back to the Roman period and is a popular attraction in Alexandria.

Visitors can explore its tombs and tunnels, which reflect a unique combination of architectural influences from Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultures.

Pompey's Pillar: One of the city's most famous landmarks, this tall column provides a great view of Alexandria from the top.

Guides can share interesting information about its history and importance.

Bibliotheca Alexandria: This modern library is inspired by the ancient Library of Alexandria, which was one of the greatest libraries in the world.

The library has a large collection of books and exhibits, hosts cultural events, and features impressive architecture and design.

Citadel of Qaitbay: Constructed in the 15th century to defend Alexandria from invaders, this historical fortress is known for its impressive architecture and played an important role as a strategic defense site.

Sidi Morsi Abu al-Abbas Mosque: Situated in the old part of Alexandria, this beautiful mosque showcases intricate design and allows visitors to experience local religious traditions and learn about the role of Islam in Egyptian culture.

You will also have the chance to enjoy delicious Egyptian food, such as koshary, and relax by the city's beautiful beaches and waterfront walks.

The tour will end with a stay at the luxurious Paradise Inn Hotel.

Day05: Visit to the city of El Alamein

El Alamein is mainly a historical site, featuring several museums, memorials, and cemeteries that commemorate the battles that occurred there. One of the most significant attractions is the El Alamein War Museum, which provides an insight into the events through exhibits, photographs, and personal accounts from the soldiers involved.

Another important site is the Commonwealth War Cemetery, which is both peaceful and scenic, housing the graves of more than 7,000 soldiers who lost their lives during the battles.

Nearby is the German War Cemetery, which honors the soldiers from the opposing side.

In addition to its historical significance, El Alamein has a beautiful coastal location with many beaches and resorts that offer a relaxing atmosphere.

If you have an interest in history, especially World War II, El Alamein is a compelling place to visit.

Even for those not particularly interested in history, the area's beaches and resorts make it a pleasant spot for relaxation and enjoying the Mediterranean coastline.

Day06: Final Departure

After having a delicious breakfast at your hotel, you will be taken to Cairo International Airport to board your flight back to your home country.
