Pyramids of Giza - Begin your Cairo day tour by visiting the Pyramids of Giza, including the Great Pyramid of King Cheops from the Fourth Dynasty, as well as the Chephren and Mycerinus pyramids. Proceed to the panorama area for memorable photos of the three pyramids together, and continue to the Sphinx and the Valley Temple.

Cairo to Alexandria

Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - After breakfast at the hotel, travel by air-conditioned vehicle to Alexandria for a day trip. Begin your tour by visiting the Roman Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa.

Archaeologists believe the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa were initiated in the 2nd century A.D. and used for burials over the next 200 years, during a time of cultural fusion in Alexandria. The city’s ancient history dates back thousands of years to the great Egyptian kingdoms.

Pompey’s Pillar - Despite its name, Pompey’s Pillar is unrelated to Pompey. The name refers to the possible burial site of the Roman general after his assassination in Egypt following a defeat in Greece against Caesar. The red granite column likely honors Emperor Diocletian and stands 25 meters high, making it the tallest ancient monument in Alexandria.

Alexandria - The Citadel of Sultan Qeitbay

Built in the 15th century by Mamlouk Sultan Qeitbay, the Citadel was constructed to protect the city from Crusader threats. This remarkable Islamic monument was built using the remnants of the old Lighthouse, originally constructed by Ptolemy II in the 3rd century B.C. The Lighthouse was damaged during an earthquake in 1303 A.D. during the reign of Mamlouk King Qeitbay.

Enjoy lunch at an Egyptian restaurant in Alexandria, with vegetarian options available upon request. After your tour, check into your hotel in Alexandria for an overnight stay.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina - The new Library of Alexandria

Reopened in October 2002, the Library of Alexandria aims to reclaim the legacy of its ancient predecessor.

Additionally, 11,945 men, whose bodies were never found, are commemorated in the cloister preceding the graveyard.

Beyond the cloister are individual graves, each marked with a white marker. Approximately 815 soldiers were identified, and their names are inscribed over the graves.

At the entrance, an impressive golden mosaic stands, and to the right is a small chapel where families and friends honor the deceased with wreaths, photographs, and memorial ribbons.

The Italian Memorial

The elegant white marble Italian Memorial, the largest structure at El Alamein, stands five kilometers beyond the German Memorial. Designed by Paolo Caccia Dominoni, who served at El-Alamein and authored a book about it, the entrance features a small museum.

Temple of the Oracle of Amun / Aghurmi - The Oracle Temple:

This magnificent temple, dedicated to Amun, was constructed during the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty and thrived into Greek and Roman times. Built atop a mountain, the temple ruins can be accessed by climbing a well-marked path up the rock.

According to legend, the temple was built in honor of Ham, the son of Noah, by Danaus the Egyptian. Another legend attributes the temple’s foundation to the Greek god Dionysus. While lost in the western desert, Dionysus was saved from thirst by a ram that led him to the spring of Agroumi. In gratitude, Dionysus erected this temple.

Oracles, manifestations of God, were highly esteemed in the ancient world, regularly consulted before making significant decisions.

Cleopatra’s Pool - Spring of Juba - Cleopatra’s Spring:

The springs of Siwa are renowned throughout the western desert. The Spring of the Sun, or Cleopatra’s Bath, has been mentioned by travelers to Siwa since Herodotus’s time. Legend holds that Cleopatra swam here during her visit to Siwa Oasis, as did Alexander the Great.

Enjoy the sunset at the salt lake of Fatnas. Fatnas is a small island in Birket Siwa, accessible by foot or bike. It is a wonderful spot to relax and watch the sunset, offering a spectacular view of the lake with Gebel Bayda and Hamra as a backdrop to the west.
