2-Day Cairo & Alexandria Tour from Makadi Bay is a private overnight journey that combines the ancient monuments of Cairo with the Mediterranean heritage of Alexandria. Over two days, visit the Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Egyptian Museum and Cairo landmarks, then continue to Alexandria to explore the Qaitbay Citadel, Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey’s Pillar and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina before returning to Makadi Bay.
A day trip to Cairo gives you only limited time in Egypt’s capital. Adding Alexandria creates a much broader experience without turning the journey into a rushed single-day visit.
This 2-Day Cairo & Alexandria Tour from Makadi Bay gives you time to see the main highlights of Giza and Cairo on the first day, spend the night in Cairo, and continue to Alexandria on the second day.
You will see two very different sides of Egypt:
The first day focuses on the ancient and historical heart of Egypt.
The Giza Plateau brings together the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure in one of Egypt’s most important archaeological landscapes.
The Great Sphinx is one of Egypt’s most recognizable monuments and stands directly within the Giza archaeological area.
The Valley Temple forms part of the Giza pyramid complex and provides another important example of ancient Egyptian monumental architecture.
The Egyptian Museum adds historical context to the monuments by allowing you to explore ancient Egyptian artifacts and collections with your guide.
The second day changes from pharaonic Cairo to Alexandria’s Mediterranean and Greco-Roman heritage.
A historic fortress overlooking the Mediterranean and one of Alexandria’s most recognizable landmarks.
An underground archaeological complex where Egyptian, Greek and Roman influences can be seen together.
A major surviving Roman-period monument in Alexandria.
A modern cultural landmark connected to the historical legacy of Alexandria’s ancient library.

Your journey starts with pickup from your hotel in Makadi Bay. Because Cairo is several hours away, the first part of the day is dedicated to the road journey from the Red Sea coast toward Egypt’s capital.
Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle and use the journey to relax before beginning your Cairo sightseeing.
After arriving in Cairo, continue to the Egyptian Museum, one of the city’s major destinations for ancient Egyptian history.
The museum brings together an extensive collection of artifacts from different periods of Egyptian civilization. With your guide, you can learn more about the objects, statues, royal collections and traditions represented inside the museum.
This stop gives context to the monuments you will see later at Giza.
Take a break for lunch at a local restaurant before continuing with the afternoon sightseeing.
Continue to the Giza Plateau, home to the three famous pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of the three and the only surviving wonder of the ancient Seven Wonders.
You will have time to see the pyramid complex, take photographs and learn about the role of Giza in ancient Egyptian history.
Continue to the Great Sphinx, one of the most recognizable monuments in Egypt.
The monumental figure combines the body of a lion with a human head and stands beside the Giza pyramid complex.
Your guide can explain the history of the Sphinx and its relationship with the surrounding monuments.
The Giza sightseeing program also includes the Valley Temple, associated with the pyramid complex of Khafre.
The temple provides another perspective on the construction and religious traditions connected with the Giza necropolis.
After completing the first day of sightseeing, transfer to your hotel in Cairo for your overnight stay.
Enjoy some time to rest after the long day before continuing to Alexandria the following morning.
Start the second day with breakfast at your Cairo hotel before departing for Alexandria.
The drive from Cairo to Alexandria takes you north through the Nile Delta toward Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
Your first major Alexandria stop is the Qaitbay Citadel, one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.
The fortress stands beside the Mediterranean on the site associated with the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria.
The location also gives you a chance to experience Alexandria’s coastal atmosphere while exploring one of its most important historic monuments.
Continue to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an underground archaeological site reflecting the mixture of Egyptian, Greek and Roman influences that shaped Alexandria.
The site is particularly interesting because its architecture and decoration demonstrate how different cultural traditions existed together in ancient Alexandria.
Continue to Pompey’s Pillar, one of Alexandria’s best-known Roman monuments.
The column stands in the area of the ancient Serapeum and represents an important surviving element of Alexandria’s Roman-period heritage.
Continue to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the modern library and cultural complex inspired by the legacy of the ancient Library of Alexandria.
The building is one of modern Alexandria’s most recognizable landmarks and adds a contemporary cultural dimension to the historical sightseeing program.
Take a lunch break in Alexandria before beginning the return journey.
After completing the Alexandria sightseeing program, begin the journey back toward Makadi Bay.
Your private transfer returns you to your hotel, completing the two-day Cairo and Alexandria experience.
