Cairo & Alexandria – Some trips aren’t just vacations—they’re time machines.
If you’ve ever dreamed of standing before the Giza Pyramids or wandering through the ancient streets of Alexandria, this 2-day tour from Hurghada is your golden ticket. It’s an epic deep dive into thousands of years of Egyptian history—from the timeless majesty of the pharaohs to the elegance of Greco-Roman Alexandria—all packed into one unforgettable experience.
Let’s break it down.
Sure, you could lounge by the Red Sea all week—but Egypt has stories to tell. This tour takes you straight to the heart of its greatest chapters. Whether you’re a history buff, a cultural explorer, or just someone who wants to feel truly somewhere else, this journey delivers.
From pharaonic pyramids to Roman theaters, mosques, museums, gardens, and glittering Mediterranean coastlines—you’ll see more in 48 hours than many do in a lifetime.
Your journey starts before sunrise in Hurghada. The comfortable, air-conditioned bus takes you across the Eastern Desert as the world slowly wakes up. After 6–7 hours (with rest stops), you roll into Cairo—one of the most storied cities on Earth.
You’ve seen them in textbooks. Now, you’re standing right there. The Great Pyramid of Giza—one of the last remaining Wonders of the Ancient World—is simply jaw-dropping. Snap photos, soak it in, and try to wrap your head around 4,500 years of mystery.
Just steps away, the iconic half-man, half-lion guardian of the pyramids stares silently toward the Nile. It’s surreal in person—massive, timeless, and majestic.
This ancient site is where priests performed mummification rituals. Walking through its granite pillars feels like stepping into a long-forgotten secret.
No visit to Cairo is complete without seeing Tutankhamun’s golden treasures. The museum holds over 120,000 artifacts. Every room tells a story, and each artifact adds a layer to Egypt’s epic saga.
Stop by a traditional perfume and oil factory. Sniff your way through exotic fragrances and shop for authentic souvenirs.
After a full day of history and exploration, you’ll check into a 5-star hotel. Dinner, relaxation, and a good night’s sleep await.
After breakfast, it’s off to Alexandria—a breezy, Mediterranean city founded by Alexander the Great. In just three hours, you go from desert sands to sea breezes.
Start with a peaceful stroll through royal gardens once reserved for Egypt’s kings. Green, fragrant, and lush—it’s a calm contrast to Cairo’s buzz.
Built atop the ruins of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, this 15th-century fortress offers panoramic views of the sea. It’s the kind of place where you pause and let the wind carry your thoughts.
Next stop? A nearly 2,000-year-old amphitheater. Sit on the ancient stone steps and picture performances from centuries ago.
This isn’t just a library—it’s a tribute to knowledge itself. While the original burned down centuries ago, today’s library is a modern architectural wonder honoring the city’s intellectual legacy.
This landmark mosque, with its stunning domes and intricate designs, is a peaceful place for reflection and photography.
Wrap up your Alexandria tour with a peek into Egypt’s underwater world. Small but charming, the aquarium is a family favorite.
Depart Alexandria around 2:30 PM. By evening, you’re back in Hurghada—tired but exhilarated, with enough memories to last a lifetime.
