Day One: Explore the Great Pyramids & Egyptian Museum, Stay in a 4-Star Hotel

Sharm El Sheikh - Begin the journey to Cairo

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - Located in Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum is a treasure trove for Egyptologists since its inception. It houses some of the world’s most remarkable ancient artifacts. Although some exhibits are transitioning to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, it remains an essential visit for those fascinated by ancient Egypt.

Pyramids of Giza - As one of the enigmatic Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one still intact, the Pyramids of Giza—the Great Pyramid of Khufu, Pyramid of Khafre, and Pyramid of Menkaure—continue to captivate after more than 4,000 years. Witnessing these 4th-dynasty pyramids and their guardian, the Great Sphinx, on the Giza Plateau is a must for any Cairo itinerary and a primary reason many travelers visit Egypt.

Great Sphinx of Giza - Standing 66 feet (20 meters) tall, the Sphinx of Giza is a symbol of ancient Egypt, sparking ongoing discussions about its purpose, age, and creator. With a human head and a lion’s body, the Sphinx—one of the largest and oldest statues globally—represents strength, power, and wisdom.

Egypt Papyrus Museum - Papyrus plays a significant role in Egypt’s history. The material, derived from the Cyperus papyrus plant, has a delicate interior and a sturdy exterior, thriving in the moist areas of the Nile Delta. Its production method was a closely guarded secret, giving ancient Egyptians a monopoly on its creation and trade. The Papyrus Institute, a government-approved museum and shop near the Giza Pyramids, offers a vast array of hand-painted papyrus prints. Prices vary, but these authentic prints make excellent souvenirs. The staff at the Papyrus Institute guide visitors through the papyrus-making process, including a live demonstration.

Day Two: Discover Alexandria’s Attractions & Enjoy Lunch

Fort Qaitbey - Constructed on the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the longest-standing Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the 15th-century Citadel of Qaitbay (Fort Qaitbey) is a picturesque sea fort. Its battlements provide expansive city views, and the small museum showcases maritime artifacts and aquariums, with three pillars likely originating from the lighthouse.

Ancient Roman Amphitheater - The highlight of the Kom al Dikka archaeological site, Alexandria’s Roman amphitheater features 13 tiers of white-marble seating. Built in the second century AD to accommodate 800 citizens, it is the only known Roman theater in Egypt and hosted political events, wrestling matches, and more.

Bibliotheca Alexandria - Explore the magnificent modern Library of Alexandria, an architectural marvel and homage to the legendary ancient library. Discover its reading rooms, exhibitions, and cultural museums.

Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - Visit one of Alexandria’s historic mosques, such as Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi, to appreciate its exquisite design and cultural importance.
