Day 01: Journey to the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum
From the moment you set foot in Alexandria Port, our agents will welcome you with our Meet and Greet service, holding a sign with your name. You will then be transferred via an air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo, a scenic drive of 3 hours, with a stop if needed to rest.
In Cairo, you'll explore the iconic Pyramids of Giza, marvel at the Great Sphinx, a massive statue with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, dating back to the time of Chephren. Your exploration continues with a visit to the Valley Temple, part of the pyramid complex of Chephren.
Next, you’ll visit the Egyptian Museum, home to a vast collection of artifacts from the Pharaonic period, including 250,000 artifacts dating back 5,000 years.

Optional tours include a two-hour dinner cruise on the Nile or a Sound and Light show at the Giza Pyramids area.
