Your Itinerary

1) Day 1: Welcome to Cairo

Upon landing at Cairo International Airport, an A1toureg specialist greets you and guides your transport to the hotel via private, climate-controlled vehicle. Your afternoon and evening are unscheduled—rest and recharge as needed. Hotel accommodation awaits. Should your arrival occur early, feel free to reach out regarding optional tours and activities to enhance your journey.
2) Day 2: Journey to Alexandria

Your tour departs early at 7:00 am from your hotel, where our knowledgeable Egyptologist awaits. Travel 220 km northwest in an air-conditioned coach to reach Alexandria around 10:00 am. Begin exploring the city's remarkable Greco-Roman treasures: Alexandria 's Underground Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, hewn from rock and blending Egyptian and Classical styles, showcase burials from the 2nd century onward. Next, visit Pompey's towering 25-meter red granite column, the tallest ancient monument in the city, standing amid the Temple of Serapeum ruins. The Roman Amphitheatre at Kom el Dikka displays thirteen marble terraces—Egypt's only surviving Roman theatre. Enjoy lunch at a traditional Egyptian establishment with outstanding views of Alexandria 's Citadel and fishing harbor. The Citadel of Sultan Qaitbay, constructed in the 15th century from fragments of an ancient lighthouse, defended the city against Crusader incursions. Inside, examine the museum's weaponry and maritime heritage. Visit the modern Library of Alexandria , rebuilt in 2002 to revive learning and culture. Al Montaza Palace gardens stretch across 360 acres with five beaches, overlooking the Mediterranean gulf. Return to Cairo for your overnight stay.
3) Day 3: Giza Pyramids & Antiquities Museum

Morning pickup from your Cairo hotel brings you to one of humanity's greatest achievements: the Pyramids of Giza ( Cheops , Chephren, and Mykerinus ). Marvel at the Great Sphinx guarding these eternal monuments, then explore the Valley Temple with its ancient mystery. Lunch is served at a local Giza restaurant. Next, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir awaits, housing over 250,000 authentic artifacts spanning 5,000 years. An exclusive Tutankhamen exhibit showcases treasures, gold, and jewelry buried 3,500 years before their 1920 discovery. A separate ticket grants entry to royal mummies. Afterward, proceed to Luxor via short domestic flight, then transfer to Luxor hotel for overnight accommodation.
4) Day 4: Luxor - West Bank & Transfer to Hurghada

Your morning transport departs from Cairo to the airport, where you board an early flight to Luxor (one hour flight time). Met by our representative, begin your private day tour. Commence with the magnificent Karnak temple—the world's largest ancient religious complex sprawling across 247 acres with three main sanctuaries built by generations of pharaohs. Cross the Nile to explore the legendary West Bank: the Valley of the Kings, final resting place of dynasties 18-20, housing tombs of Ramses II and Tutankhamen (optional Tutankhamen tomb entry: 300 EGP extra). Visit three royal tombs; see remarkably preserved decorations. View the Colossi of Memnon—two 18-meter quartzite statues of Amenhotep III. Browse Hatshepsut's temple on the West Bank, and tour Luxor Temple, largely built by Amenhotep III, completed by Tutankhamen and Ramses II, with its first pylon beautifully decorated with the Battle of Kadesh. After your unforgettable day, transfer 280 km to Hurghada for an evening of seaside luxury and relaxation.

Questo tour di 8 giorni in Egitto è stato semplicemente straordinario. Le antichità del Cairo mi hanno lasciato senza fiato, e la bellezza di Alessandria è impareggiabile. Luxor e la sua Valle dei Re erano spettacolari, e rilassarsi a Hurghada dopo tutto quel viaggio è stato semplicemente perfetto. Un viaggio indimenticabile che consiglio vivamente.
