Why This 2-Day Tour is Special

Two Cities, One Seamless Trip

Usually you’d spend separate stretches in Cairo and Alexandria. This itinerary merges them into one streamlined journey — maximizing your time while leaving the heavy lifting to the tour team.

Historical Depth Meets Coastal Escape

By day one you’ll stand before the Pyramids; by day two you’ll breathe sea wind in Alexandria. This contrast — ancient stone and blue Mediterranean — gives your holiday unmatched variety.

Day 1: Cairo – The Heart of Ancient Egypt

Hotel Pickup & Transfer

Your day begins with a shuttle transfer from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo (roughly 6 hours). Sleep may be short, but the reward is early access to Egypt’s landmarks before crowds build.

Egyptian Museum & Tutankhamun Treasure

Arrive at the museum to marvel at 120,000+ artifacts, from gilded tombs to everyday objects. Stand before the mask of Tutankhamun — a highlight for many.

Giza Plateau: Pyramids & Sphinx

Later you’ll visit the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos and the enigmatic Sphinx. Your guide will bring the stones to life with stories of ancient engineers, pharaohs and lost tombs.

Overnight in Cairo

After a full day, you’ll check into a 3-star Cairo hotel, rest and prepare for a second day of discovery.

Day 2: Alexandria – Mediterranean Heritage

Early Start & Coastal Drive

After breakfast at 7:00 AM, head north to Alexandria, Egypt’s once-majestic Mediterranean capital. The drive offers both changing terrain and kaffe-stop vistas.

Landmark Tour

Visit the Citadel of Qaitbay, perched on the old site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Then explore the exterior of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern tribute to ancient learning. Next stop: Pompey’s Pillar, a Roman column rising above ruins, and the exterior of Abu al-Abbas Mosque.

Lunch & Return

Enjoy lunch in Alexandria — perhaps fresh seafood by the sea — then board the coach for your return journey to Sharm, arriving late evening, full of history, sea air and memories.

Practical Tips & Packing List

• Passport & printed booking confirmation

• Comfortable walking shoes (lots of steps and uneven ground)

• Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen — both sun and glare increase in Egypt

• Layered clothing — early drive is cool, desert and coast warm later

• Small backpack with water bottle and snacks

• Adaptors for charging devices

• Camera with extra memory (you’ll thank yourself)

Who Sharm El Sheikh Trip to Cairo & Alexandria is For & Accessibility
