Day 1: Alexandria Port to Giza
Your private tour guide will be waiting for you inside Alexandria Port at 6:00 am, holding a sign with your name. From there, you will embark on a journey to Cairo to explore the iconic Giza Pyramids. Discover the greatness of the pyramids as you visit the three main ones: Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Explore the Valley Temple, where the priests mummified the body of King Chephren, and marvel at the enigmatic Sphinx, with its lion body and the head of King Chephren.
A delicious lunch at a local restaurant is included, offering a full meal for each person (beverages not included). Afterward, continue your day tour to Sakkara, located just 27 km southwest of Cairo. Visit the Step Pyramid, built for King Zoser, which played a crucial role in the evolution of pyramid construction.
Next, explore Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you can admire the colossal statue of Ramses II and the impressive Alabaster Sphinx. This city dates back to 3100 B.C., showcasing Egypt's rich history.
If you desire, indulge in an optional shopping tour at traditional bazaars, where you can find a variety of souvenirs like perfume oils, papyrus, and hieroglyphics.
At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel. If you're up for more adventure, you can ask your guide to arrange an optional evening tour. Choose between a Dinner Cruise, which includes transportation, dinner, a belly dancer, and a Tanura show for $45 USD per person, or a Sound & Light Laser Show at the Pyramids area for $35 USD per person (both optional tours are not included in the package).
Enjoy an unforgettable day exploring the wonders of Egypt and creating lasting memories of its ancient treasures.
