Two Days Trip from Makadi Bay to Cairo and Alexandria – From the golden shores of Makadi Bay to the beating heart of Egypt’s ancient civilization, this two-day journey to Cairo and Alexandria invites you to step back in time. Imagine tracing the footsteps of pharaohs through colossal pyramids, wandering among treasures that survived for millennia, and feeling the Mediterranean breeze on your face as history whispers from the walls of Alexandria’s citadel.
This is not just another sightseeing trip — it’s a story told through two cities that shaped the world. Over two days, you’ll uncover the essence of Egypt: its ancient soul in Cairo and its timeless grace in Alexandria.
Your adventure begins before sunrise as you depart from Makadi Bay, driving through the quiet Red Sea desert towards Cairo. The scenery gradually transforms from golden dunes to the vibrant pulse of Egypt’s largest city — a metropolis where the ancient and the modern live side by side.
Upon arrival, your expert Egyptologist guide greets you, ready to share stories that bring every stone, statue, and hieroglyph to life.
The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square is more than just a collection of relics — it’s a time machine. Inside its walls rest over 250,000 artifacts, from everyday objects of ancient Egyptians to the glittering treasures of King Tutankhamun.
As you walk through dimly lit halls filled with statues, jewels, and mummies, you can almost hear the echoes of history. Your guide reveals fascinating details — the meaning of symbols, the secrets of mummification, and the legacy of the pharaohs who ruled the Nile for thousands of years.
Next, you travel to the Giza Plateau, home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Standing before these towering monuments, it’s impossible not to feel humbled by the genius of the ancient engineers who built them with precision and mystery that still amazes scientists today.
You’ll explore the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the unforgettable Great Sphinx, whose gaze has guarded the sands of Giza for over 4,500 years.
After an enriching morning, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant with panoramic views of the pyramids. Those who wish can take an optional felucca ride on the Nile — a gentle sailing experience that lets you see Cairo from a completely different perspective.
As the sun sets over Cairo, you’ll check into your 4* or 5* hotel for a relaxing evening. Savor a traditional Egyptian dinner or take a quiet stroll along the Nile Corniche. Tomorrow, the Mediterranean city of Alexandria awaits.
After breakfast, your journey continues north towards Alexandria, Egypt’s second-largest city and once the capital of the ancient world. Founded by Alexander the Great, this city was home to scholars, philosophers, and one of the greatest wonders — the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
The drive takes about three hours, offering glimpses of rural life, fertile fields, and the timeless rhythm of the Nile Delta.
Your first stop is the Qaitbay Citadel, built in the 15th century on the same site where the ancient Lighthouse once stood. From its stone walls, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea — waves crashing against history itself.
Next, visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern architectural masterpiece symbolizing the city’s rebirth as a center of knowledge. Inside, millions of books and cultural exhibitions celebrate Egypt’s contribution to human civilization.
Continue to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in Egypt. These underground tombs blend Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art, revealing how cultures once intertwined in this cosmopolitan port city.
Finally, wander through the Montaza Gardens, where palm trees, palaces, and sea breeze paint a picture of royal elegance. The gardens were once the summer retreat of Egyptian kings — a serene place to reflect on your journey through history.
No visit to Alexandria is complete without tasting its famous seafood. Enjoy lunch at a seaside restaurant, where freshly caught fish is grilled with Egyptian spices while the Mediterranean sparkles before you.
After lunch, take a leisurely walk along the Corniche promenade, where locals gather to sip coffee and enjoy the sea air. It’s a perfect moment to absorb the atmosphere of a city that has welcomed travelers for more than two thousand years.
As evening falls, you’ll begin your journey back to Makadi Bay, carrying with you unforgettable memories — the grandeur of the pyramids, the elegance of Alexandria, and the warmth of Egypt’s people.
Two days filled with history, beauty, and discovery come to a peaceful close as the Red Sea horizon welcomes you back home.
