A convenient way to visit these two important Egyptian cities is by taking a flight from Sharm el Sheikh to Cairo and Alexandria.
Cairo is the capital of Egypt and features a wide range of historic landmarks and fascinating museums.
There's a lot to see and do in the city, so it's best to spend several days exploring everything it has to offer. If you're interested in ancient Egyptian history, the Pyramids of Giza are a must-visit – they are among the most famous monuments in the world! The Giza Pyramids were constructed during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom in ancient Egypt and are regarded as one of the top attractions in Cairo.
Alexandria is another popular destination for visitors to Egypt.
The city is situated on the Mediterranean Sea, offering plenty of beaches for relaxation. Alexandria also boasts many historical sites, such as Pompey's Pillar – a large column built in honor of the Roman Emperor Diocletian – and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, one of the largest libraries in Africa with over 8 million books. The library was founded by King Ptolemy I and was used to house approximately 900,000 manuscripts during his rule.
