2-Day Trip to the Pyramids and Luxor from Alexandria Port

Day 1: Cairo Tour

Your adventure begins with a pick-up from Alexandria Port. You’ll enjoy a scenic drive to Cairo, which takes about 2-3 hours, depending on traffic. This gives you some time to relax and prepare for the exciting day ahead.

 

Your first stop is the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the most famous and enduring symbols of ancient Egypt. The Pyramids, including the Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three, were built around 4,500 years ago as tombs for the pharaohs. You’ll have time to explore these massive structures, take photographs, and learn about the incredible feats of engineering required to build them. You can even go inside one of the pyramids (additional ticket required).

 

Next, you’ll visit the Great Sphinx, an iconic limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh. The Sphinx is one of Egypt’s most mysterious monuments, and its origin remains a topic of debate. It sits near the pyramids, providing a perfect photo opportunity against the backdrop of these ancient wonders.

 

After the pyramids, you’ll head to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), located near the Giza Plateau. This museum is one of the largest archaeological museums in the world and houses over 100,000 ancient artifacts. The highlight is undoubtedly the collection of treasures from King Tutankhamun’s tomb, including the famous golden mask. The museum provides an in-depth look into Egypt’s history and the richness of its ancient civilization.

 

Enjoy a delicious meal at a traditional local restaurant, where you can sample classic Egyptian dishes such as koshari, falafel, and grilled meats. The vibrant flavors and variety of food are sure to be a highlight of the day.

 

If you’re in the mood for shopping, you can choose to visit Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most famous markets in the Middle East. Located in Cairo’s Islamic district, the bazaar is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, selling everything from spices and perfumes to jewelry, antiques, and souvenirs. It’s a great place to immerse yourself in Cairo’s lively atmosphere. After a packed day, you’ll be driven back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza , where you can rest and reflect on all you’ve seen.

Day 2: Luxor Tour

Early in the morning, you’ll be picked up from your Cairo hotel and transferred to Cairo International Airport for your flight to Luxor.

 

A short flight will take you to Luxor, often called the world’s greatest open-air museum, where you’ll begin your tour of some of Egypt’s most impressive ancient sites.

 

The first stop in Luxor is the Valley of the Kings, a burial ground for Egypt’s most famous pharaohs. Explore the tombs of legendary rulers, including Ramses II and Tutankhamun. Admire the elaborate decorations inside the tombs and learn about the afterlife beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.

 

Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a stunning mortuary temple built for Egypt’s only female pharaoh, Queen Hatshepsut. The temple’s dramatic architecture, carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, makes it one of the most impressive structures in Egypt.

 

Stop to see the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood for over 3,000 years. These massive statues once guarded the entrance to the pharaoh’s mortuary temple and are an iconic sight in Luxor.

 

Take a break from sightseeing and enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor. Sample regional specialties such as molokhia (a green stew), shawarma (spiced meat wraps), and falafel (fried chickpea patties) for a fulfilling and authentic meal.

 

After lunch, head to the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in Egypt. Dedicated to Amun-Ra, the god of the sun, the temple features towering columns, grand pylons, and an immense hypostyle hall. The complex is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian religion and architecture.

 

Conclude your Luxor tour with a visit to the Temple of Luxor, located on the east bank of the Nile. This temple is known for its magnificent statues, obelisks, and grand courtyards. It is dedicated to Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, the Theban triad of gods.

 

After exploring the temples of Luxor, you’ll take a short flight back to Cairo, where your journey will conclude. Upon arrival in Cairo, you’ll be transferred back to Alexandria Port, marking the end of your two-day tour of Cairo and Luxor.
