Meals: Lunch and Dinner.

 

Day 2: TRANSFER TO CAIRO AND TOUR OF ALEXANDRIA

You will be driven to the Kom El Shoukafa Catacombs after breakfast at the hotel. Kom El Shoukafa is an underground wonderland with elaborate artwork and carvings that combine Egyptian and Roman themes. Dating back to the second century A.D., it is the biggest Roman Funerary Complex in Egypt. This labyrinth of three-story tombs also includes a central tomb decorated with reliefs of bearded serpents and the Triclinium, where family members once sat on stone seats to feast the dead. Roman armored statues of Sobek and Anubis from the second century A.D. are housed within. The tallest structure on the harbor's arm is the Fort Qaitbey Citadel.

 

The Pharos, an ancient lighthouse in Alexandria that was constructed in 279 BC to a height of 12 meters and topped with a statue of Poseidon, was the original location of the fort. Even though Pharos was rebuilt several times, by the time the original fort was constructed here in the 1480s, it had ultimately collapsed. The Fort Qait Beys Naval Museum is housed in this majestic building. The theater in Rome: This well-preserved ancient Roman theater, which was found in 1964 following thirty years of excavation, features marble seats, galleries, and parts with mosaic flooring. It was most likely a covered theater for musical events and, based on the inscriptions carved on the seats, wrestling matches.

The theater, which could accommodate 700–800 people, was known as the Park of Pan during the Ptolemaic Period. It was a pleasure garden encircled by Roman baths and houses. Following the tour, there will be a transport to Cairo and some free time for shopping and other activities. Spend the night in Cairo

 

Meals consist of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

DAY 3: ALL-DAY TOUR OF CAIRO

After breakfast, proceed to see the Giza Pyramids, including the Pyramids of Choeps, Chepren, and Mycerious. Of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the huge pyramids are the only ones that still stand. These are among the most popular tourist destinations in the globe as well as Egypt's most visited monuments. The Pyramids of Giza are located on the western side of Greater Cairo, approximately 10 kilometers from the city center, and are constructed as tombs for the preservation of the bodies of the ancient Egyptian monarchs, who were believed to be immortal and subject to resurrection. The Great Pyramid is the only remaining example of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient globe and the most well-known building in the entire globe.

 

About 2650 BC, King Khufu (Cheops) of the IV Dynasty constructed it. Now standing at 137 meters, it was once 146 meters tall. This pyramid is composed of about 2.5 million stone blocks. All of this, though, pales in comparison to the accuracy and incredible skill with which the ancient Egyptians constructed this pyramid. Three little pyramids that are devoted to either Khufu's wives or other family members are located not far from the eastern face of the pyramid. The Second Pyramid was constructed by Khafre (Chephren) and is located southwest of Khufu's pyramid; however it is shorter at 136 meters. On certain of its top portions, remnants of the limestone that formerly covered the entire structure may still be seen.

 

Its base area is 215.5 square meters. Its interior is straightforward, with two north side doors. The ruins of the Temple of the Valley, the rising causeway, and Khafre's mortuary temple are still visible to visitors. The religious ceremonies for the body's embalming were observed in these temples. Menkaure (Mycerinus) constructed the Third Pyramid, which is located southwest of the Great and Second Pyramids. It is 62 meters high, far smaller than either of them. The lower portions of its sides are still covered with granite slabs, which set it apart. The Sphinx: The enormous statue of the Sphinx is located en route to the Temple of the Valley.

 

One single piece of stone is used to sculpt the Sphinx. One of the most well-known monuments in the world, this statue is truly legendary since it has a man's face and a lion's body, 20 meters high and 70 meters long. King Kephren's face is very similar to that of the Sphinx. The Perfumery: The Egyptians have been making essences out of essential oils since ancient times. Experience the scents of "The Secrets of the Desert," "The Lotus," and other well-known international designer colognes and perfumes here. The Papyrus: Discover how to make this paper from papyrus reeds, which were originally produced in ancient Egypt.

 

Additionally, you can purchase some papyrus that has been hand-painted. Known as the museum of Egyptian antiquities, the Egyptian Museum is among the best museums you will ever visit, with an unparalleled collection of artifacts dating back 5,000 years.
