Alexandria in 5 Days Tour Itinerary

1st day: Arrival and Evening Nile Cruise

Upon your arrival at Cairo Airport, Egypt Fun Tours will assist you with passport procedures and baggage handling. You will then be transferred to your 5-star hotel in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Your Alexandria tour begins with an enchanting evening dinner cruise on the Nile, featuring a vibrant belly dancing performance and a traditional Tannoura show. After the cruise, you will return to your hotel for the night.


2nd day: Pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara

After breakfast, embark on a tour starting with the Giza Pyramids Complex, one of the most renowned archaeological sites globally. Here, you will visit:

  • The Great Pyramid: The last remaining wonder of the ancient world, originally built for King Khufu.
  • The Great Sphinx: The largest and oldest statue in human history, symbolizing knowledge and power.
  • The Valley Temple: A well-preserved structure used during the mummification process.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to:

  • Step Pyramid of Saqqara: The first pyramid ever built, designed by the architect Imhotep around 2700 BC.
  • City of Memphis: The first capital of Egypt, known for its historical significance and the temple of Ptah.

Return to your hotel for the night.

3rd day: Old Cairo Landmarks

After breakfast, explore Cairo’s historical sites with your guide, starting with:

  • The Egyptian Museum: home to thousands of artifacts, including treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Day 4: Explore Alexandria’s Attractions

After breakfast, prepare for an exciting private tour of Alexandria with your Egyptologist guide, starting with:

Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs

Discover the stunning Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a remarkable necropolis from the 2nd century AD. This site beautifully blends ancient Egyptian, Greco-Roman, and Hellenistic architectural elements. It’s known for its extensive collection of Greek and Roman artifacts, earning its place as one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

Pompey’s Pillar

Next, visit Pompey’s Pillar, the largest monolithic column outside of Rome. Standing 28 meters tall and made of solid red granite, it was mistakenly named after the Roman leader Pompey, as the Crusaders thought his bones were stored at the top. A Greek inscription honoring Emperor Diocletian can also be found here.

Citadel of Qaitbay

Founded in 1477 by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay, the Citadel of Qaitbay stands on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. This stunning structure showcases a blend of Greco-Roman and Islamic architecture, and it is believed to house the lighthouse’s eternal luminous spirit. After our exploration, we’ll enjoy lunch at a seafood restaurant before visiting:

Alexandria Library

One of the most famous libraries in the world, the Alexandria Library is a modern architectural marvel and a tribute to the ancient library. It hosts the sixth-largest Francophone library globally, with volumes in Arabic, English, and French, along with a vast collection of rare books and beautiful art galleries. Finally, we will return you to your Cairo hotel for an overnight stay.


Last day: Conclusion of Your Alexandria Tour

After breakfast at the hotel, a representative will transfer you to the airport and assist you with your departure paperwork. Thank you for joining us on the 5-day Alexandria and Cairo tour!

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
