9-Days Egypt Adventure: Alexandria, Cairo & Sharm El Sheikh Budget Holiday

After enjoying your breakfast, first begin your 9 Days Alexandria, Cairo & Sharm El Sheikh Tour by exploring the wonders of Cairo, starting with the Giza Pyramids Complex.

The Giza Pyramid Complex is one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites and has reflected the greatness of ancient Egyptian civilization for over 4,500 years. The complex includes three main pyramids built for King Khufu, King Khafre, and King Menkaure, six smaller pyramids, the majestic Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple, the eternal symbol of immortality.

First, visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the closest thing to the heavens and the oldest remaining intact wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Constructed in 2580 BC over 20 years, it stands 147 m (481 ft) tall, built from 2,300,000 limestone blocks, each weighing 2.5 tons, with a workforce of 100,000 skilled laborers. It remained the tallest building in the world for nearly 3,800 years, until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in England in 1311. Its mysterious origins and construction continue to fascinate visitors and scientists worldwide.

Then, marvel at the Great Sphinx, the world’s oldest and largest statue. With the body of a lion and the head of a man, believed to represent King Khafre, it symbolizes wisdom and strength. Known in ancient times as “Hor-em-akhet” (Horus of the Horizon), Egyptians today call it Abu Al-Hawl (The Father of Terror). Carved from a single limestone block, it stands 73 m (240 ft) long and 19 m (66 ft) high. Many mysteries still surround this iconic monument, including the enigmatic shape of its missing nose.

Next, visit the Valley Temple, built during the Old Kingdom (2686–2134 BC) as the place where the mummification process took place. Constructed entirely from red limestone and granite, it houses stunning diorite statues of King Khafre and remains one of the best-preserved sites of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Then, explore the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a billion-dollar hub of archaeological wonders aligned with the Giza Pyramids, spanning nearly 490,000 square meters. GEM serves as a gateway to 5,000 years of history, bridging ancient Egyptian heritage and modern innovation. Visitors can admire treasures such as the Hanging Obelisk, the 11-meter Colossus of Ramses II, and the complete collection of over 5,000 artifacts from Tutankhamun.

Lunch Time: Then, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo.

After lunch, continue your tour with a visit to the Saqqara Step Pyramid, one of the first pyramids ever built in 2700 BC by the brilliant Imhotep, vizier of Pharaoh Djoser. This unique pyramid features six steps and stands 62 m tall, made entirely of limestone and surrounded by a complex of ceremonial structures with impressive decorations that remain in excellent condition.

The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are a unique archaeological site in Egypt, showcasing a breathtaking fusion of Hellenistic, Roman, and Pharaonic artistic elements. Built as a necropolis in the 2nd century AD, it spans three levels and houses a remarkable collection of Greek and Roman artifacts, earning its title as one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

Then, visit Pompey’s Pillar, a symbol of Roman glory and the largest monolithic column ever built outside Rome. Named after Pompey due to a medieval belief that his remains rested at its top, the pillar stands 28 m tall and 2.7 m wide, made entirely of red granite. On its western upper side lies a Greek inscription dedicated to Emperor Diocletian.

Next, explore Qaitbay Citadel, a magnificent fortress that preserves the spirit of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria. Constructed in 1477 by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf Al-din Qa'it Bay on the original lighthouse site, the citadel was built using stones salvaged from the destroyed lighthouse, which had once been the third tallest ancient wonder until its destruction by earthquakes between 956 AD and 1323 AD. The citadel showcases stunning examples of Islamic architecture.
