Your first stop is the majestic Qaitbay Citadel, built in the late 15th century on the exact site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This impressive fortress, constructed during the Mamluk era, offers breathtaking sea views and a peek into Alexandria’s Islamic military architecture.
Next, head underground into the eerie yet captivating Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. Dating back to the Greco-Roman period, this unique burial site combines ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman design elements, offering a rare glimpse into a cultural fusion that once defined Alexandria.
Take a break and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can sample the flavors of coastal Egyptian cuisine.

Step back in time on an unforgettable journey to two of Egypt’s most enchanting and best-preserved ancient temples.....
Estar en Luxor por un solo día es preferible a quedarse fuera. Las principales atracciones de Luxor se pueden ver en un día. Puedes ir a Templo de Hatshepsut, el Valle de los Reyes, Templo de Karnak y posiblemente uno o dos monumentos más en una excursión de un día a Luxor. La respuesta sincera sería que una excursión de un día a Luxor es insuficiente.
Con frecuencia se lo describe como el museo al aire libre más grande del mundo y por una buena causa. Es posible que allí encuentres un montón de ruinas, monumentos, templos y tumbas. Necesitarás al menos dos días de excursiones de un día a Egipto para descubrir todo lo que Luxor tiene para ofrecer sin prisas.
A menos que viaje con un grupo de turistas, visitar Luxor por su cuenta puede resultar bastante estresante. Luxor tiene tantos sitios arqueológicos y cosas que hacer que recorrer cada templo y cementerio puede llevar varios días y mucho dinero.
No hay tarifas fijas con taxímetro para los taxis en Luxor, aunque dependiendo de sus habilidades de negociación, la mayoría de los viajes costarán entre 5 y 150 libras egipcias (aproximadamente entre 0,50 y 17 dólares). Uber y otros servicios de transporte no están disponibles en Luxor.
Deberías reservar unos 200 dólares para las excursiones a Luxor, que probablemente implicarían visitar Luxor y Templos de Karnak. Templos de Cisjordania y el Valle de los Reyes y reinas. Paseos en faluca al atardecer.
Viajar nos ha ayudado a entender el significado de la vida y nos ha ayudado a ser mejores personas. Cada vez que viajamos, vemos el mundo con nuevos ojos.
Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
