Meet your guide at the hotel and travel by private air-conditioned vehicle to the Giza Plateau.

Start the morning at the Great Pyramids of Giza, the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. You'll have time to explore the exterior areas of the site, stop at panoramic viewpoints, and take photographs overlooking the plateau.

The tour then continues to the Sphinx viewing area, where you'll enjoy close exterior views of the famous limestone monument.

After completing the Giza visits, head to a local restaurant for lunch before continuing to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).

Spend the afternoon exploring the museum's galleries before returning to Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino in a private air-conditioned vehicle.

Helpful Hint: Morning visits usually offer the best conditions for photography around the pyramids.

Leave Cairo after breakfast and travel north in a private air-conditioned vehicle toward Alexandria.

Upon arrival, begin sightseeing at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of Alexandria's most unusual archaeological sites. The tour then continues to Pompey's Pillar, one of the city's best-known Roman monuments.

From there, drive to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the modern cultural landmark inspired by the ancient Library of Alexandria.

After the morning visits, stop at a local restaurant for lunch before continuing to the Citadel of Qaitbay. Positioned along the Mediterranean coast, the fortress occupies the historic location of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Following the visit, begin the return journey to Cairo in a private air-conditioned vehicle and arrive back at your hotel in the evening.

Helpful Hint: Alexandria is often cooler and windier than Cairo, especially during winter months.

Breakfast will be served at the hotel before check-out.

Depending on your flight schedule, you may have some free time before leaving for the airport.

At the appropriate time, you'll be transferred to Cairo International Airport in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Assistance will be provided through departure procedures before your journey home begins.

Many travelers return to Egypt in the future to explore destinations such as Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, or the Red Sea coast.

Helpful Hint: International travelers should arrive at the airport at least three hours before departure.
