3-Day Private Tour: Cairo, Giza and Alexandria
Pyramids, Mediterranean coastlines, and centuries of history — tailored entirely to your pace
This private customized 3-day Cairo and Alexandria tour brings together Egypt's most defining landmarks into a flexible, expertly guided journey. From the ancient plateau of Giza to the storied shores of the Mediterranean, every day is structured around your preferences and schedule.
The itinerary covers three distinct worlds within Egypt: the ancient funerary monuments of Giza and Saqqara, the Greco-Roman heritage of Alexandria along the northern coast, and the layered religious history preserved in Old Cairo's Coptic and Islamic quarters. Days can be arranged consecutively or spread according to your travel needs.
A dedicated private guide accompanies you throughout, providing in-depth context at each site without the constraints of a group timeline. The tour is rated easy in difficulty, making it accessible for a wide range of travelers including families and seniors.
Because the schedule is fully customizable, this tour works equally well for first-time visitors wanting a comprehensive overview and for returning travelers who wish to spend more time at specific sites.
Tour Highlights
Stand before the three Great Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx on the ancient plateau.
Discover the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, the oldest large-scale stone structure in recorded history.

Fully flexible scheduling — arrange the three days consecutively or separately to match your itinerary.
