Overview
This private 5 day Cairo and Alexandria journey keeps one Cairo hotel throughout, giving the route a more settled rhythm without domestic flights or a chain of hotel changes. Giza and Saqqara receive a full day, the Grand Egyptian Museum and Historic Cairo have their own pace, and Alexandria is handled as one deliberate Mediterranean road day with the return evening protected.
It suits first-time travellers who want a value-led private route with the essential stories of Cairo and Alexandria in one clear plan. Our Cairo and Giza planning guide explains how much time the capital deserves; this package keeps its focus on Cairo and Alexandria rather than trying to turn five days into a rushed grand tour.
