With your own licensed Egyptologist guide, you’ll discover the city’s most famous attractions while learning the stories behind Egypt’s extraordinary past.

The Great Pyramids of Giza

The highlight of your Cairo visit is the world-famous Great Pyramids of Giza.

Built over 4,500 years ago, these monumental structures remain among humanity’s greatest architectural achievements. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World and continues to amaze visitors with its incredible size, precision, and historical significance.

During your visit, you’ll explore:

Your private guide will explain the fascinating history of the pharaohs, the mysteries of pyramid construction, and the remarkable engineering skills of ancient Egyptian builders.

Meet the Great Sphinx

Standing proudly beside the pyramids is the mysterious Great Sphinx, one of Egypt’s most recognizable symbols.

Carved from a single limestone outcrop, the Sphinx combines the body of a lion with the face of a king, representing strength, wisdom, and royal authority.

Its mysterious smile and impressive size continue to fascinate archaeologists and travelers from around the world.

Visit the Valley Temple

Your journey through Ancient Egypt also includes the remarkable Valley Temple, where priests performed sacred purification rituals before royal burials.

Constructed using enormous limestone and granite blocks, the temple remains one of the finest surviving examples of Old Kingdom architecture.

Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

Continue your exploration at the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum, one of the largest archaeological museums ever built.

Located near the Giza Plateau, GEM houses thousands of priceless artifacts spanning Egypt’s long and fascinating history.

Museum highlights include:

Explore Historic Cairo

Your second day introduces you to another side of Egypt’s capital.

Visit the magnificent Saladin Citadel, one of Cairo’s most important medieval landmarks.

Built during the 12th century, the fortress protected the city for hundreds of years and offers breathtaking panoramic views over Cairo.

Inside the Citadel stands the beautiful Mosque of Muhammad Ali, famous for its elegant Ottoman architecture, impressive domes, and magnificent alabaster interior.

Continue to Coptic Cairo, home to some of Egypt’s oldest Christian churches.

Visit the historic Hanging Church, built above the ancient Roman Fortress of Babylon and considered one of Egypt’s most important Christian monuments.

Before leaving Cairo, stroll through the colorful Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where narrow streets are filled with handcrafted souvenirs, spices, perfumes, jewelry, textiles, traditional cafés, and authentic Egyptian culture.

Discover Alexandria

Leaving Cairo behind, you’ll travel north to Alexandria, Egypt’s beautiful Mediterranean city.

Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria quickly became one of the greatest cities of the ancient world.

Its unique combination of Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Mediterranean influences creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Egypt.

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa

One of Alexandria’s most remarkable attractions is the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

These underground tombs beautifully combine Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic traditions, creating one of Egypt’s most fascinating archaeological sites.

Pompey’s Pillar

Nearby stands the impressive Pompey’s Pillar, one of the largest Roman triumphal columns ever constructed outside Rome.

Standing over 25 meters tall, the monument remains one of Alexandria’s most recognizable historical landmarks.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Your tour also includes the world-famous Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern tribute to the legendary Ancient Library of Alexandria.

Today the library serves as an international center for learning, culture, and research while showcasing impressive architecture overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Qaitbay Citadel

Built during the 15th century, Qaitbay Citadel occupies the exact location of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The fortress offers spectacular coastal views while preserving an important chapter of Egypt’s medieval history.

Journey to Siwa Oasis

After discovering Alexandria’s Mediterranean charm, your journey continues west through Egypt’s dramatic desert landscapes toward the magical Siwa Oasis.

Located near the Libyan border, Siwa is one of Egypt’s most isolated and authentic destinations.

Surrounded by endless sand dunes, palm groves, olive orchards, freshwater springs, and crystal-clear salt lakes, the oasis has preserved its unique traditions, architecture, and Berber culture for centuries.

Temple of the Oracle

One of Siwa’s most famous historical sites is the Temple of the Oracle of Amun.

This ancient sanctuary became famous when Alexander the Great visited in 331 BC to consult the Oracle, who declared him the son of Zeus-Ammon and the rightful ruler of Egypt.

The temple remains one of the country’s most significant historical landmarks.

Shali Fortress

The heart of Siwa is the historic Shali Fortress, built using traditional mud-brick mixed with salt.

Although partially ruined by heavy rains in the early 20th century, the fortress remains one of Siwa’s most photogenic attractions and offers beautiful panoramic views across the oasis.

Cleopatra Spring

Another highlight is the famous Cleopatra Spring, a natural freshwater spring where visitors can enjoy a refreshing swim surrounded by palm trees and desert scenery.

Local tradition suggests that Queen Cleopatra herself once bathed here during her travels through Egypt.

The Incredible Salt Lakes

Perhaps Siwa’s most famous natural attraction is its spectacular Salt Lakes.

Thanks to their extremely high salt concentration, visitors float effortlessly on the surface, creating an experience similar to the Dead Sea.

The brilliant turquoise water contrasts beautifully with the surrounding white salt formations, making the lakes one of Egypt’s most photographed natural wonders.

Great Sand Sea Safari

No visit to Siwa is complete without exploring the vast Great Sand Sea.

Travel by powerful 4×4 vehicles across enormous golden dunes while experiencing one of the Sahara Desert’s most spectacular landscapes.

Your safari includes:

• Sandboarding
• Desert Dune Driving
• Bedouin Tea
• Sunset Photography
• Traditional Desert Experience

Watching the sun disappear behind endless sand dunes while enjoying traditional Bedouin hospitality is an unforgettable highlight of the journey.

Fatnas Island

It is considered one of the best places in Siwa to watch the sunset.
