Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome to the Pharaohs’ Land.
When your plane arrives in Egypt, our authorized representative will greet you there and help you with the formalities and travel documentation while carrying a sign with our business name, “Egypt Fun Tours” Then, he will hand you off to your private tour guide outside the airport so you may be driven in a luxury private car with air conditioning to a five-star hotel in Cairo to check-in. Relax at the hotel before being taken in the evening for a magnificent Dinner Nile Cruise on the Nile, where you will enjoy the best memorable dinner you have ever had along with some of the Egyptian local performances like Tannura spin and belly dancing concerts and capture some of your happy Egyptian moments. You’ll spend the night at your Cairo hotel.
Day Two: Visit the Museum and Pyramids of Giza
Your knowledgeable tour guide will accompany you after breakfast as you see Cairo’s most ancient historical sites, including:
Giza Pyramids Complex
The complex of the Giza Pyramids dates to the fourth dynasty. The complex is made up of three fabled pyramids that served as the last resting places for the most well-known kings of the fourth dynasty. The greatest of these pyramids belonged to Pharaoh Khufu, and it was regarded as the highest construction in prehistoric times.
The Great Sphinx
One of the most famous sculptures in Egyptian history is the Sphinx. Pharaoh Chephren asked for the Sphinx, a limestone figure with a lion’s body and a man’s head, to symbolize power.
The Valley Temple
A limestone funerary temple dedicated to King Chephren situated on the Giza Plateau was used for mummification and purification.
Enjoy your meal in a fancy restaurant, after which you’ll see:
The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum houses more than 250,000 ancient Egyptian antiquities and is Egypt’s most monumental exhibition. The Great Tutankhamun’s famous collection is another reason why it is regarded as the home of priceless antiques.
You’ll go back to your hotel.
Day three: a day trip to Alexandria
After breakfast at the hotel, a private A/C car will pick you up for a wonderful day tour to the well-known sites in Alexandria, such as:
Kom El Shoqafa’s catacombs
The Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs are a sizable royal cemetery that dates to the second century AD. The complex has an amazing fusion of Roman-style sculptures and tombs with wall decorations inspired by pharaonic art.
The enormous 30-meter-tall Pompey pillar is located above the historic town of Rhakotis. The column has emerged from the Temple of Serapeum, which was built from Aswan red granite.
Citadel of Qaitbay
The most impressive structure in Alexandria, the Qaitbay Citadel, dates to the 1480s. Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbey built this enormous castle to stave off Ottoman invasions.
After a delicious lunch at a fish restaurant, you’ll go to see:
Alexandria Library
One of the most important 21st-century accomplishments is the Alexandria Library, which has more than 10 million volumes in all subject areas as well as a conference center and other specialist libraries.
We’ll take you back to your Cairo hotel so you may spend the night there.
Day 4: Begin your desert expedition
Early in the morning, we will drive you to Bahariya Oasis (385 km/4 hours), where you will have lunch before being driven in a Toyota Land Cruiser to the Black Desert and the Bedouin village of El Hez Shower. Drive on to Crystal Mountain exploration, then turn off to Agabat Area, or “The Wonders Area,” for sandboarding. Finally, we’ll go to the Old White Desert to see places like the Flower Stone, Tents Valley, and Mushroom. Enjoy some Bedouin entertainment, Bedouin tea, a barbecue supper, and an overnight desert camping trip.
Day 5: Continue Your Desert Adventure and Return to Cairo
Enjoy capturing some special dawn pictures, then have breakfast and visit a hot spring before returning to Cairo, where you may have lunch at a neighborhood restaurant before being driven to a five-star hotel for the night.
Day Six: Last Day of Travel
After breakfast, you may stay at the hotel until check-out at noon, at which point your driver will bring you in a private A/C car to the Cairo Airport for your last departure.
