3 Day Private Sightseeing Tour in Giza, Cairo and Alexandria
Three days, three cities, thousands of years of history — experienced at your own pace.
This 3-day private Cairo and Alexandria tour takes you through the most defining chapters of Egyptian civilization, from the ancient burial grounds of Giza and Saqqara to the Hellenistic heritage of Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast. A dedicated Egyptologist guide accompanies you throughout, providing context that transforms monuments into stories.
On the first day, you move through the Giza plateau, the ancient capital of Memphis, and the stepped pyramid complex at Saqqara, with an optional camel ride and ATV experience rounding out the afternoon. The second day shifts focus to Islamic and Coptic Cairo, anchored by a visit to the Egyptian Museum, before the third day takes you north to Alexandria for a full coastal city tour.
Because this is a private tour, the pace and priorities are yours to shape. Whether you linger at the Citadel of Saladin, browse a local papyrus shop, or spend extra time at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the itinerary adapts to your interests without the constraints of a group schedule.
