A perfect blend of culture, history, and relaxation!”
Our 3-day tour across Cairo, Alexandria, and Hurghada was an unforgettable experience. We started in Cairo, where we explored the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum—absolutely mind-blowing! The history and scale of the pyramids were beyond anything I could imagine. Then we traveled to Alexandria, a beautiful coastal city. The stunning Library of Alexandria and the Citadel were highlights. Lastly, Hurghada was a perfect way to unwind. The beaches were gorgeous, and the clear waters of the Red Sea were ideal for snorkeling. The combination of cultural immersion, historical sites, and seaside relaxation made this trip one of the best I’ve ever had.

“Fast-paced but enjoyable!”
The 3-day itinerary covering Cairo, Alexandria, and Hurghada was a whirlwind, but it was great! We spent the first day exploring Cairo, with a visit to the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum, which was a highlight of the trip. On day two, we took a trip to Alexandria, where we enjoyed the Mediterranean views and the historical landmarks like the Citadel and the catacombs. Finally, Hurghada was a relaxing end to the trip. We didn’t have much time to explore the city, but the beach and snorkeling were fantastic. If you don’t mind a fast-paced schedule, this tour offers a great mix of Egypt’s highlights.
