6 Days Cairo and Alexandria Vacation

Your 6 Days Cairo and Alexandria Vacation begins with an easy arrival day in Cairo before the sightseeing program starts.

Meet Your Local Representative

After completing the airport procedures, meet your Egypt Online Tour representative at the location confirmed in your travel documents.

Because Cairo International Airport operates through several terminals, your arrival notes identify the correct terminal, meeting point, local contact number, and representative details in advance.

Once you meet the representative, they check your booking details and connect you directly with your private driver.

Settle Into Your Cairo Hotel

Leave the airport in a private air-conditioned vehicle and continue to your Cairo hotel.

The transfer time varies according to passport procedures, baggage collection, traffic conditions, and hotel location.

After arrival, complete check-in and take time to settle in. If your room is not ready yet, the hotel can usually store your luggage until the official check-in time. Early room access depends on availability.

An Evening on the Nile

Later in the day, meet your driver at the hotel and head to the Nile for your evening dinner cruise.

Enjoy dinner while Cairo’s riverfront lights pass alongside the boat, giving you a relaxed first look at the city after your journey.

The onboard program may feature live music, Tanoura, or other traditional entertainment. Sailing time, vessel, menu, and performance schedule depend on the confirmed operating program.

Your driver returns you to the hotel after the cruise.

Begin the day with breakfast and a private pickup from your hotel.

The sightseeing program inside the 6 Days Cairo and Alexandria Vacation follows timed museum entry, traffic, heat, visitor numbers, and site closing hours rather than one fixed order.

Giza Pyramids Complex

Explore the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure with your Egyptologist.

Your guide explains how temples, causeways, smaller pyramids, tombs, and ceremonial spaces formed each royal complex.

The plateau includes sand, slopes, stone paths, and limited shade. Wear stable shoes and carry sun protection.

If the library is unavailable, the team explains the available Alexandria alternative before arrival.

Return to Cairo

Meet your driver at the agreed point and return to Cairo.
