You can kick things off in Cairo with a visit to the Giza Plateau. The pyramids are the tourists’ favorite and main attraction here, with their towering heights and unique characteristics. The Pyramid of Khufu is by far the biggest, with a mass of 5.9 million tons and a volume of 2.5 million cubic meters. When on site, don’t be limited to the pyramids alone, explore the Solar Boat Museum and the Valley Temple of Khafre too.
Don’t miss a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum for a memorable time exploring exhibits from different eras in Egypt. The museum itself is modern, but it contains relocated objects from an entire civilization. Highlights include the Tutankhamun Galleries, the Grand Staircase, the Hanging Obelisk, a huge Ramesses II statue, and some thematic halls. If you will be taking your kids along, there’s also a children’s museum to keep them occupied.
After your GEM tour, you will venture into the city to explore Old Cairo, Islamic Cairo, and the Citadel of Saladin. You will find sites where the history of faith began, like the Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue. You’d also learn a lot more about Cairo when you visit the Coptic Museum, Sultan Hassan Mosque-Madrasa, Khan el-Khalili, Bab Zuweila, Sladin Citadel, and Gawhara Palace.
After that, we'll take you to Alexandria to give you a taste of the Mediterranean. History buffs and bookworms will love a trip to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Throw in a visit to the Planetarium, a browse of the special libraries, or just spend some time exploring the built-in museums.
You'll have a chance to linger in the area and take in some more sights, like the Pyramid of Unas, the Tombs of the Nobles, the Serapeum of Saqqara, and the old city of Memphis. In Memphis, there are a couple of sites you really don't want to miss, like the Mit Rahina Museum, the Alabaster Sphinx, the Saqqara Necropolis, and that fascinating Animal Mummification Gallery.
Next, you can visit Alexandria to enjoy a bit of the Mediterranean. For the bookworms and history buffs, go to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina to see the Planetarium, the specialized libraries, and the built-in museums.
You can go scuba diving to see the underwater ruins of Cleopatra’s palace, submerged about 1500 years ago. Some things you will see include the statues of sphinxes, Antirhodos island ruins, and loads of artifacts.
If time permits, explore Luxor and Aswan too. Do more Nile boat or felucca rides in Aswan since most locations are accessible via the river. Luxor has more royal tombs and temples, like the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut.
