3 Days 2 Nights Cairo-Alex Itinerary​


At 8:45am a Travel Joy Egypt Egyptologist will pick you up from your Cairo hotel for an illuminating day of sightseeing. The first highlight is a close encounter with the legendary Great Pyramids of Giza - Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. Marvel at their immense scale and engineering feats from ancient times.

Next we journey to the enigmatic Sphinx, and nearby Valley Temple complex that once served the Fourth Dynasty pharaohs. Our adventure then takes us to Dahshur to view the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, considered a prime example of early monumental architecture in Egypt. Within its limestone casing lies a core of mudbricks dating back to the Old Kingdom period.

We continue to Saqqara to explore extraordinary rock-cut tombs adorned with vibrant reliefs that have withstood millennia. The artistic scenes come alive alongside hieroglyphic texts offering clues to Egyptian customs. Up next is the Memphis Museum presenting treasures from the reign of Ramses II, including a monumental colossus and alabaster Sphinx.

This afternoon we return to your hotel, rested and enriched by discoveries at some of Egypt's most seminal historical sites. This evening a luxury Nile dinner cruise awaits, transporting us to the rhythms of ancient Egypt against the iconic river backdrop. Food, fellowship and entertainment combine for an experience to remember.


In the morning at 7am, our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to begin the Alexandria adventure. The first stop is one of the city's most unusual attractions - the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. Dating back to Roman times, this sprawling underground network of tombs was carved entirely by hand from the area's solid rock formations. Next, we journey to the seafront to glimpse Pompey's Pillar, an iconic landmark and ancient tribute to the Emperor Diocletian.

After working up an appetite exploring Alexandria's layered history, we'll enjoy a local lunch. Then it's time to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Qaitbey Citadel for awe-inspiring views of the Mediterranean from its lofty perch. We end the afternoon with a visit to two archaeological treasures - the impressive ruins of the Roman Theatre, and the site that once housed the famed Alexandria Library, a center of learning in antiquity.

By late afternoon we'll head back to Cairo, with lifelong memories from our excursion through one of Egypt's most culturally rich coastal cities. I hope this overview provides a helpful glimpse into your upcoming Alexandria adventures! Please let me know if you need any additional details.


Our guide will pick you up from your hotel after breakfast for the final day of sightseeing in the bustling capital. Our first port of call is the Citadel of Saladin, perched high on a hill and accessed via its scenic lunar landscape pathway. Constructed in the 12th century from limestone quarried from Giza, it offers panoramic Old Cairo views and a historical mosque complex.

Next we refuel with lunch before delving into the world's finest ancient Egyptian collection at the Egyptian Museum. Tutankhamun's treasures are a highlight, jewelry and colossal statues.

In the afternoon we travel back in time to experience Coptic Cairo's religious heritage. The Hanging Church of St. Mary marks Egypt's transition to Christianity, while the Coptic Museum's collection of icons and manuscripts provides unique cultural insights. Our tour concludes further along the route taken by the Holy Family, Abu Serja Church where they resided in.

To end on a lively note we wind our way to the storied alleys and markets of Khan el-Khalili bazaar. Watch local artisans at work before our return transfer to your hotel, fulfilling three unforgettable days exploring Egypt's history through its people, places and past.

This comprehensive 3-day tour offers visitors an ideal introduction to some of Egypt's most celebrated historical destinations in a relaxed and stress-free manner. From marveling at ancient wonders to exploring cosmopolitan cities, guests are assured an enlightening and enjoyable vacation experience through Travel Joy Egypt's excellent services.

My Amazing stay in Egypt I arranged with this travel agency tours in Cairo and Luxor. They were extremely friendly and helpful. All transportation was on time and great tour guys. Drivers were so attentive and were always on time. I also booked my nights in Cairo in their Australian Hostel and staff was so friendly and welcoming. Rooms were cleaned and the hostel was in a great central location in Cairo downtown.

Incredible experience The tour was really good. Our tour guide, Heshan, was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole tour, very professional and very keen on teaching us whatever we wanted to learn about. We did a Pyrammids and Sakkara necropolis day tour and we asked for a few extra sites to visit which normally are outside of the program (pyramids of Dahshur) and the agency had no problem in adapting the program so that we could explore what we wanted. Amazing experience and recommend it to everyone.

The trip of a lifetime with Travel joy! Can’t say this enough: AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My wife and I were in Cairo for 3 days with a few friends on the way to a wedding in Hurghada and we booked all our Cairo experiences with Travel Joy. They arranged for hotel/airport transfer, all tours and were incredible helpful. Absolutely made our trip incredible. Special shout out to Emily who was very patient and helpful helping me design our trip, Michael the best tour guide there can be (really funny too), and Kero who was a life saver. Could not ask for a more dedicated and committed group of professionals. We felt very safe and supported.

Excellent experience with Travel Joy Egypt Tour OMG! It couldn't be better! Our trip was only 3 days in Cairo and Luxor. Omar's team really knows what he is doing, they coordinated everything perfectly, guide in Spanish, transfers, Nile cruise, we really enjoyed the food, they took us to really good places. We didn't have to worry about anything just getting there. We really enjoyed our stay in Egypt, the guides are really good, they explain everything wonderfully in Spanish and took us to the places we were interested in! They took spectacular photos of us and always on the lookout for everything from picking us up at the airport to returning us there! If you want to live an experience without worries in this beautiful country, I really recommend them very much! Thank you for everything, I'm sure we'll be back with you!

Memorable multi-city tour of Egypt Our group of 13 had a memorable multi-city tour of Egypt thanks to Travel Joy and guide Mostafa. Over 6 months of planning ensured smooth sailing from start to finish. Comfortable transit aboard a spacious Toyota Coaster added enjoyment between destinations.We were delighted by most aspects of the 3-night deluxe Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, taking in iconic sights along the river. A road trip to Abu Simbel and Alexandria broadened cultural horizons outside Cairo as well.Our dedicated guide Mostafa and his cheerful team, including Omar and Kiro, anticipated every need with excellent hospitality. Relying on their local expertise enhanced appreciation for Egypt's rich history.While optional excursions hold value exploring off-itinerary, do thorough research beforehand. Knowing typical pricing prevents potential mismatches in expectations. When time permits, leisurely browsing artisan workshops and perfumeries can also prove rewarding after confirmed interest and minor negotiation.Overall, Travel Joy Egypt delivered wonderful memories through meticulous coordination. I'm grateful for their passion in sharing this magnificent land and cultures with visitors from around the world.
