Some Egypt journeys stay with you long after you return home. Flying from Luxor to Cairo in the early morning, standing in front of the Pyramids, then waking up to the Mediterranean atmosphere of Alexandria gives you two very different sides of Egypt in just two days.
This private overnight Cairo and Alexandria tour from Luxor by plane is designed for travelers who want to see more of Egypt without spending long hours on the road. You fly from Luxor to Cairo, explore the Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, and Valley Temple, spend the night in a comfortable Cairo hotel, then travel to Alexandria the next morning.
In Alexandria, you discover Pompey’s Pillar, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Qaitbay Citadel, and the Library of Alexandria before flying back to Luxor.
The experience combines ancient Egyptian monuments, Roman history, Mediterranean culture, private guiding, comfortable transfers, and domestic flights into one carefully organized itinerary.
