4-Day Cairo Egypt Tour Package
This 4-day Egypt tour package covers Cairo, Giza and Alexandria in one planned stay, with three nights in Cairo and guided visits to major ancient and historic sites. You start at the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, then trace Cairo’s history through the Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo and the Citadel of Saladin.
At Giza, you see the three main pyramids across the plateau, where their size becomes clear as you walk closer from the desert edge. The Sphinx is nearby, carved from the bedrock with a lion’s body and a king’s head. Our guide explains how the complex was built and used, and points out places to stop for photographs while keeping the pace manageable in the open sun.
The ancient sites south of Cairo show how pyramid building developed. At Sakkara, you visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the earliest large stone pyramid complex in Egypt, and learn how it grew from earlier mastaba tombs. Memphis, the former capital of ancient Egypt, has statues and other remains in its open-air museum. At Dahshour, the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid show the changes in design that came before the form used at Giza.
Cairo’s historic centre brings later periods of Egyptian history into view. The Citadel of Saladin sits above the city and includes the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, with broad views over Cairo. In Old Cairo, you walk among churches, mosques and narrow lanes shaped by centuries of religious and commercial life. The Egyptian Museum holds major pharaonic collections, including statues, jewellery, coffins and other objects across its galleries.
A full-day excursion to Alexandria introduces a Mediterranean city with a character distinct from Cairo. You visit the new Library of Alexandria, a modern cultural centre built near the site associated with the ancient library. Below ground, the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa contain a Roman-period burial complex with Egyptian, Greek and Roman details. You also see Pompey Pillar, a tall red-granite column from the Roman era, and the Citadel of Sultan Qeitbay beside the harbour.
Our team arranges the planned transfers and sightseeing, with a licensed Egyptologist guide where relevant. You get the background at each site without having to manage Cairo traffic, intercity routes or entrance arrangements alone. The programme includes walking at archaeological sites, steps at some monuments and time outdoors. It suits travellers who want a focused introduction to Egypt and are comfortable with long sightseeing days, including the road journey to Alexandria.
You stay three nights in Cairo, which keeps the base practical for visits to Giza, the city and the southern sites. Before each excursion, we can explain the order of the visits, meeting arrangements and local customs. Comfortable shoes, sun protection and water are important, and your guide will advise you about the walking conditions at each stop.

This four-day Egypt tour is a sightseeing-focused itinerary with three nights in Cairo, combining major Cairo landmarks, the Giza plateau, nearby ancient sites, and a day in Alexandria.
You should expect several visits in a day, some walking on uneven ground, and road travel between Cairo, Giza, Dahshour, Memphis, Sakkara, and Alexandria. Our team can explain the planned order and help you judge the pace before you book.
Pickup and drop-off arrangements for the 4 days Egypt tour package are organised around your confirmed Cairo accommodation and travel details, with transfers used for the sightseeing days and the Alexandria excursion.
Please provide accurate hotel, arrival, and departure information when booking so our team can confirm the meeting point and transfer plan. Pickup times may vary by the day’s route, traffic, and the location of your accommodation.
The tour can suit families, but The Pyramids of Giza, The Sphinx, Sakkara, and the Step Pyramids involve outdoor walking, sun exposure, uneven surfaces, and possible steps, so travellers with limited mobility should discuss their needs with us before booking.
The visits to Memphis, Dahshour, The Citadel of Saladin, and Old Cairo also require movement between sites. Alexandria’s Catacombs Kom el Shoqafa may include stairs, while access at the new Library of Alexandria and other stops can vary; tell us about children, mobility aids, or fitness concerns in advance.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, light clothing that covers shoulders and knees when visiting religious or historic sites, and bring sun protection, a hat, water, and any medication you need during the day.
A small day bag is useful for tickets, a phone, and personal items. Bring your passport or a secure copy if requested for tour administration, and choose clothing suitable for changing temperatures between outdoor archaeological sites and indoor museums.
You can book the 4 days Egypt tour package online by submitting your travel dates, traveller details, accommodation information, and any pickup requirements requested in the booking form.

Your Itinerary
Arrive in Cairo, where our team meets you at the airport and arranges your transfer to your hotel. After check-in and time to settle in, begin the tour at the Egyptian Museum in central Cairo. Your guide leads you through the main galleries, explaining how the collections fit together, from royal statues and funerary objects to the treasures associated with ancient Egyptian rulers. Allow around two to three hours for the visit, with time to pause at the exhibits that interest you most.
The rest of the day remains light after your journey. Your guide can help with practical arrangements, including the next day's meeting details and any questions about the city. Keep your evening free for rest or a short walk near your hotel. This first night is in Cairo, giving you a convenient base for the Giza visit and the southern pyramid sites that follow.
After breakfast, travel to the Giza Plateau for the Pyramids of Giza. Your guide explains the purpose and construction of the three main pyramids while you walk between the viewpoints and take time for photographs. Continue to the Sphinx, where the human-headed lion faces the pyramid field. The open plateau involves walking over uneven ground, so comfortable shoes, water and sun protection are useful.
Leave Giza for Sakkara and the Step Pyramid, the earliest large-scale stone pyramid in Egypt. Your guide points out the surrounding funerary complex before the tour continues to Memphis, the former capital known for its colossal statue of Ramesses II and other ancient remains. The final stop is Dahshour, where you see the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. The sites are spread out, so expect several road transfers during this full sightseeing day before returning to Cairo.
Begin the day with a visit to the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval fortress on Cairo's Mokattam hills. From its elevated position, you can look across much of the city, while your guide explains the citadel's role in Cairo's military and political history. Allow time to visit the mosque complex within the grounds and to walk through the courtyards at an easy pace. The site includes steps and sloping paths, and your guide can help plan the route around your needs.
Continue to Old Cairo, one of the city's historic districts, where churches, mosques and older lanes sit close together. Visit the main landmarks included in the day's route and hear how different religious communities shaped this part of Cairo. The pace is unhurried, with time for photographs and a break before returning to your hotel. This is your third night in Cairo, so luggage stays at the same hotel while the final day is arranged as a day trip to Alexandria.
Leave Cairo by road for Alexandria, allowing several hours for the journey depending on traffic. On arrival, visit the new Library of Alexandria, a modern cultural centre built near the site associated with the ancient library. Continue to the Catacombs Kom el Shoqafa, an underground Roman-era burial complex where the architecture combines Egyptian, Greek and Roman influences. Your guide explains the layout before you descend into the chambers; access includes stairs and may feel confined.
After a break, visit Pompey Pillar and then the Citadel of Sultan Qeitbay on Alexandria's waterfront. The citadel occupies the site traditionally linked with the ancient Pharos lighthouse, and the seafront setting gives the final sightseeing stop a different feel from Cairo's inland monuments. After lunch or free time arranged during the excursion, return to Cairo for your airport transfer. A late departure is needed for this schedule; if your flight leaves earlier, our team will adjust the final transfer and sightseeing plan.
