Itinerary 2 Days Tour to Cairo and Alexandria from Alexandria Port

Pickup from Alexandria Port
The first day of your tour begins with a private A/C car pick-up from Alexandria Port, where you will meet your private tour guide.
The Great Pyramids of Giza
The first stop of the day is one of the world's most famous landmarks, the Great Giza Pyramids. Built over 4,500 years ago during Ancient Egypt's Fourth Dynasty, these pyramids served as grand tombs for pharaohs. The largest, the Great Pyramid of Giza, was built for Pharaoh Khufu around 2560 BC and is the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Your guide will share the history of these structures, how they were built, and their significance in ancient Egyptian culture while you admire these timeless masterpieces.
The Great Sphinx
Next, you'll visit the Great Sphinx of Giza, often called the guardian of the pyramids. Built around 2500 BC during Pharaoh Khafre's reign, this ancient statue is one of the oldest and largest monuments in the world. Carved from a single block of limestone, the Sphinx has a lion's body and a pharaoh's head, symbolizing strength and wisdom. For thousands of years, it has stood by the Great Pyramid, making it a must see for anyone exploring Egypt's history.
The Valley Temple
Next, you will visit the Valley Temple, a funerary temple built for Pharaoh Khafre, who ruled during the 4th Dynasty of ancient Egypt around 2558–2532 BCE. This well preserved temple was part of the pyramid complex and was likely used for mummification rituals and ceremonies. Made of massive limestone and granite blocks, it showcases the incredible skill and architectural knowledge of the ancient Egyptians.
The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
To complete your journey through ancient Egypt, you will visit the New Grand Egyptian Museum, located near the Pyramids of Giza. Opened in 2023, this modern museum showcases over 100,000 artifacts from Egypt’s rich history. Highlights include the famous golden mask of King Tutankhamun (c. 1332–1323 BCE), discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter, along with treasures from other dynasties, spanning over 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Lunch
After a morning filled with history and culture, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant.
Saqqara Step Pyramid
Next on our itinerary is the Saqqara Step Pyramid, one of Egypt's oldest and most famous landmarks. Built around 2,670 BCE for Pharaoh Djoser during the Third Dynasty, it is the world's first large-scale stone structure. Designed by the architect Imhotep, this pyramid marked a major step in ancient Egyptian architecture, paving the way for the later grand pyramids of Giza.

Overnight at Cairo Hotel
As the day comes to an end, you will head back to your 5-star hotel in Cairo for a restful night's sleep. You will have the chance to relax and reflect on your incredible experiences in Egypt so far.
Breakfast & Check out
After an early breakfast at the hotel, you will check out and begin your journey to Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt. Known for its beautiful Mediterranean coastline and rich history, this city is a must visit destination.
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
When you arrive in Alexandria, your tour begins at the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, one of the city's most fascinating ancient sites. Built in the 2nd century AD during the Roman period, these underground tombs blend Greek, Roman, and Egyptian styles. Originally built for a wealthy family, the site was later expanded to include more burial chambers. The catacombs offer a unique glimpse into Alexandria's rich history as a hub of trade and culture.
Pompey's Pillar
Next, you will visit Pompey's Pillar, a remarkable ancient monument built in 297 AD during the reign of Roman Emperor Diocletian. Standing at an impressive 25 meters tall, it is one of the largest monolithic columns in the world, carved from a single piece of red granite. The pillar was erected to honor Emperor Diocletian for saving the city of Alexandria during a difficult time. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase inside for breathtaking views of the historic surroundings.
Qaitbay Citadel
Next, you will visit the Qaitbay Citadel, a fortress built in 1477 by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qaitbay. It stands on the exact site of the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which was damaged by earthquakes in the 14th century. This historic citadel showcases Egypt's maritime strength during the Mamluk era and offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, connecting visitors to its rich past.

Lunch
After your tour, you will stop at a seafood restaurant to refuel and indulge in authentic Egyptian cuisine.
Alexandrina Library
Next on the itinerary is the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern library inspired by the ancient Library of Alexandria. The original, founded in the 3rd century BCE under Ptolemy II, was a center of ancient knowledge. Opened in 2002, the new library carries on this legacy with millions of books, a planetarium, art galleries, and museums, making it a must visit for history and knowledge lovers.
Return to Alexandria Port
As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, painting the sky with shades of orange and pink, you will make your way back to your cruise ship, ready to unwind and reflect on the day's adventures from your unforgettable 2 Days Tour to Cairo and Alexandria from Alexandria Port.
