Detailed Tour Itinerary

Your professional guide from Ramasside Tours will meet you directly in your hotel lobby in Alexandria.

From the moment your trip begins, you will receive personalized attention. Once seated comfortably in your private, air-conditioned vehicle, your guide will discuss the route, highlighting sights along the Desert Highway and answering any questions regarding the day's itinerary.

Upon arrival in Cairo, head directly to the Giza Plateau to visit the Great Pyramids: Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren), and Menkaure (Mykerinos). Stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the only surviving wonder of the ancient world, and take in panoramic desert views across all three pyramids. Visit the enigmatic Great Sphinx, carved from a single limestone ridge, and tour the Valley Temple of Khafre used for mummification rites.

Next, proceed to central Cairo to tour the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, home to an unparalleled collection spanning over 5,000 years of civilization, headlined by the golden treasures and jewelry of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Before departing Cairo, you may opt to explore a traditional local market (such as Khan El-Khalili) for authentic souvenirs and artisanal crafts. Relax on the comfortable return drive back to your hotel in Alexandria.

(Traveler Tip: We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a sun hat and sunscreen).
