Tour Itinerary

Your adventure in Egypt begins when your expert Egyptologist guide meets you at Alexandria Port. You will get into a comfortable air-conditioned van for a three-hour ride from Alexandria to Cairo, the pharaohs' home. 

 When you arrive in Giza, your guide will lead you to the magnificent Giza Pyramids of Cheops, Khafre, and Menakaure. You'll be astounded by the architectural marvels and rich history surrounding these ancient monuments. The adventure does not end there; you will also visit the Valley Temple of the Pyramids of Chephren, which offers a rare opportunity to observe the impressive burial rituals the pharaohs performed.

For an extra fee, you can tour the inside of one of the pyramids or take a camel ride for an unforgettable experience that takes you back in time. Afterward, you'll traverse the plateau to catch the outstanding view of the pyramids rising from the dunes. A short drive away, you will see the well-known Sphinx, Egypt's iconic symbol for thousands of years.

After your awe-inspiring journey to Giza, you'll have a great lunch at a local restaurant before driving to the Sakkara necropolis, which houses Egypt's oldest pyramid. There, you can immerse yourself in the 3rd dynasty's rich history and the creativity of architect Imhotep, who constructed the Step Pyramid for King Djoser in approximately 2630 BC.

The Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the Middle East's oldest and most famous markets, is a must-see on any trip to Egypt. You'll have plenty of free time to explore the maze of shops, streets, and booths, where you may bargain for gifts or have a cup of traditional Egyptian tea at the well-known coffee shop "El Fishawy." 

 Overnight in Cairo.

 Option 1: Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids ($65 US Dollars per person). 

Option 2: Nile Dinner Cruise on a 4-star cruise ($65 USD per person) or a 5-star cruise ($95 USD per person).

Rise and shine, adventurer! Today, after breakfast at your hotel, you will go to the internationally recognized Egyptian Museum. The Museum houses a rare 5,000-year-old collection of Egyptian art, which is regarded as the world's most significant and most valuable. More than 250,000 artifacts are displayed, including an exhibit focused on King Tutankhamun's tomb wealth. His five gold-gilded coffins dominate the main hall, but his stunning gold mask draws the most attention! Your Egyptologist guide will walk you through the most critical pieces before giving you free time to explore the Museum at your leisure. 

 After you tour the Museum, you'll have lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to our next destination, the Citadel of Salah El Din. You'll see the spectacular Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, which was designed by Turkish architect Yousif Boushnaq, who traveled all the way from Istanbul to build this spectacular monument for Mohamed Ali, Egypt's monarch from 1805 to 1849.

But the excitement does not end there! You'll stop at the Papyrus Institute to see how papyrus paper is manufactured and look for souvenirs.

There are many things to do in Egypt during your visit depending on your interests and character. Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan Nile cruise must be your first priority if you are a history and culture lover. You must visit the pyramids of Giza, enjoy a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan and enjoy visiting the most important tourist attractions in Luxor and Aswan.

The high season for tourism is all year with winter and spring being peak season for cultural travels with lots of sightseeing. Weather in Egypt is perfect for many kinds of tourism, and if coming in June, July, and August, head for the seaside resorts. Those months are very warm with temperatures that can reach around 45C. and the humidity is about 70 to 80%, but it is bearable with the sea and large swimming pools nearby. So the period of the high summer season is also a bit busy as hotels fill up with tourists from all over the world looking for a bargain, lots of sunshine, diving, snorkeling, etc. It is also a primary vacation time in Europe. If you come in the deep summer season you can still enjoy it because you can always sightsee early in the morning and go again at night when the sunsets. You will definitely need good sunscreen and a lot of liquids to drink with a nice hat on your head. Summer is a good time for people looking for good rates in accommodation and other services.

Egypt is a Muslim country and the dress code is towards the conservative side, especially for women. That being said, we are used to seeing travelers from all over the world. My suggestion would be to wear light clothes and not to wear short shorts, short skirts and alike to avoid the occasional unwanted stare. But it's really up to you. When you visit religious places (synagogues, churches, and mosques) you do need to cover your shoulders and wear over the knee dresses, if you are planning to wear one of course. If you plan to attend the Nile dinner cruise, there is no need for formal wear unless you want to make that night a special night! Also, you will be sharing this experience with other travelers so you can dress however you feel most comfortable.

You can get your visa when you arrive at Cairo Airport. It is an easy process for USA, UK, Canadian, Australian and European citizens.

The visa will cost you $25 US Dollars and after buying it; you just stick it on any empty page on your passport. Once you have bought your visa you then stand in line to get your passport stamped by the immigration officer. You can also apply for E-Visa via the official electronic visa portal: www.visa2egypt.gov.eg

Your Egypt Tours travel agency recommends two weeks so that you can enjoy the temples and tombs of Luxor and Aswan, explore the sights of Cairo, and relax in the Red Sea islands and nature reserves.

There are many Nile cruises. Not to name one but your choice depends on many things to put in mind such as the number of nights you want to spend on the cruiser, your budget, and the standard of the Nile cruise. We recommend you choose a 5-star luxury Nile cruise, and if you are looking for a private Nile River cruise you can choose Dahabiya cruises, it is only for the small-group tour, about 15 people. Most cruises have. There is another way of cruising the Nile, which is the Felucca boat. It is traditional and charming but it is cheap as long as it will be ok to sleep on the deck exposed to mosquitos and most of these boats do not have a toilet

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.
