🗓 Tour Itinerary: What You’ll Experience

Day 1: Cairo – Where It All Began

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.

🏜 Giza Pyramids Complex

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.

🦁 The Sphinx

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.

🏛 The Valley Temple

This ancient site is where priests performed mummification rituals. Walking through its granite pillars feels like stepping into a long-forgotten secret.

🎨 Egyptian Museum

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.

🛍 Local Workshop Visit

Stop by a traditional perfume and oil factory. Sniff your way through exotic fragrances and shop for authentic souvenirs.

🏨 Overnight in Cairo

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.

Day 2: Alexandria – Egypt’s Coastal Jewel

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.

🌳 Montaza Palace Gardens

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.

🏰 Qaitbay Citadel

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.

🎭 Roman Amphitheater

Next stop? A nearly 2,000-year-old amphitheater. Sit on the ancient stone steps and picture performances from centuries ago.

📚 The Great Library of Alexandria

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.

🕌 Mosque of Abu al-Abbas

This landmark mosque, with its stunning domes and intricate designs, is a peaceful place for reflection and photography.

🐠 Aquarium

Wrap up your Alexandria tour with a peek into Egypt’s underwater world. Small but charming, the aquarium is a family favorite.

🚌 Return to Hurghada

Depart Alexandria around 2:30 PM. By evening, you’re back in Hurghada—tired but exhilarated, with enough memories to last a lifetime.
