Day 1: Cairo Arrival and First Evening in the City
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.
Day 2: Giza Pyramids, Grand Egyptian Museum, and Saqqara
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.
Stand beside the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World.
The standard plateau ticket covers the exterior area. Entry inside the Great Pyramid requires a separate ticket and depends on daily availability.
Interior passages feel narrow, steep, warm, and enclosed. Tell your guide about mobility, breathing, heart, or claustrophobia concerns before requesting the extra ticket.
Enter the Grand Egyptian Museum near the Giza Plateau.
Follow a focused route through the galleries and public areas included with your confirmed ticket.
Your Egyptologist chooses the route according to:
Your interests
Visitor numbers
Walking pace
Timed entry
Lunch schedule
Saqqara closing time
Temporary access restrictions
Travelers who want a longer museum visit should request it before booking. The operations team can then revise the remaining program.
Lunch
Enjoy lunch at a selected restaurant in Cairo or Giza.
Share food allergies, vegetarian requests, and children’s meal needs before confirmation. Drinks remain excluded unless the confirmed itinerary states otherwise.
Saqqara Step Pyramid
Drive to Saqqara and explore the Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser.
Walk through selected courts, ceremonial areas, and structures that show an earlier stage of pyramid design.
Site access can change because of restoration work, ticket rules, or operating decisions. Your guide confirms the available route on the day.
Return to your Cairo hotel.
Day 3: Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo
Travel from Cairo to Alexandria for a full-day Mediterranean tour.
This part of the 6 Days Cairo and Alexandria Vacation allows time for the highway journey, comfort stops, sightseeing, lunch, and the return to Cairo.
Roadworks, weather, traffic, and your hotel location can affect the journey time. Your guide sets the visit order around site hours and city traffic.
Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa
Descend into the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa with your Egyptologist.
The underground chambers combine Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic elements.
The site includes spiral stairs, low ceilings, narrow areas, and humid underground spaces. Travelers with mobility or claustrophobia concerns can remain above ground while the guide explains the site.
Pompey’s Pillar and the Serapeum
Continue to Pompey’s Pillar beside the remains of Alexandria’s ancient Serapeum.
Walk across open, uneven ground and see the surviving Roman column and nearby archaeological remains.
Wear stable shoes and use sun protection because the site offers limited shade.
Walk through the fortress and view the Mediterranean coast near the former location of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria.
Wind, sea spray, traffic, or security barriers can affect the waterfront drop-off point. Your driver adjusts the meeting place when needed.
Lunch
Enjoy lunch at a selected Alexandria restaurant.
The team can arrange seafood or another available menu according to your preferences. Drinks remain excluded unless the confirmed itinerary states otherwise.
Visit Bibliotheca Alexandrina when its public schedule allows.
The library follows weekly, holiday, and special-event schedules that can affect public visits. Before confirmation, the operations team checks the opening day and any ticket or access requirements.
Your visit may include the main public spaces, exhibitions, or museums covered by the confirmed ticket.
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.
The team can arrange a comfort stop on the highway. The local team also follows road conditions and updates the hotel arrival time if traffic delays the drive.
Travelers comparing the 6 Days from Cairo to Alexandria Tour Package with a longer multi-city journey can visit Alexandria without changing hotels or moving their main luggage.
Day 4: Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo, and NMEC
Continue through downtown Cairo, Coptic Cairo, and Fustat.
The fourth day of the 6 Days Cairo and Alexandria Vacation follows traffic conditions, museum tickets, prayer times, religious services, and opening hours.
Egyptian Museum
Start at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square.
See selected statues, coffins, jewelry, papyrus, funerary objects, and collections from several periods of Egyptian history.
The museum contains many rooms, so your guide follows a direct route instead of trying to cover every display. Tell the guide which periods or objects interest you most.
Travelers looking for a 6 day Cairo Alexandria itinerary receive a route that connects downtown Cairo, Old Cairo, Fustat, Giza, Saqqara, and Alexandria without unnecessary hotel changes.
Day 5: Islamic Cairo, Citadel, and Khan El Khalili
Explore Cairo’s Islamic architecture with a private Egyptologist.
This section of the 6 Days Cairo and Alexandria Vacation remains flexible because prayer times, traffic, ceremonies, and temporary access restrictions can affect the order.
Salah El-Din Citadel
Enter the Citadel and walk through its main public areas.
Its elevated location provides broad views across Cairo when visibility allows.
The site includes sloped and stone surfaces. Comfortable shoes make the visit easier.
Browse the shops or sit at a traditional café before meeting the driver.
Agree on the meeting point and time with your guide because the market has narrow lanes and several entrances.
This Cairo Alexandria vacation package allows you to shorten or extend the market visit according to your interests and the day’s traffic.
Return to your hotel.
Day 6: Departure from Cairo
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel and check out at the scheduled time.
Before leaving, review the room, bathroom, wardrobe, drawers, and safe.
Keep passports, medicine, chargers, valuables, money, and travel documents in your hand luggage.
Guests with early flights can request a breakfast box before final confirmation.
Private Airport Transfer
Meet the representative in the hotel lobby.
Pickup time follows the airline’s check-in requirements, departure terminal, baggage rules, expected traffic, and international departure time.
Travel to Cairo International Airport in a private air-conditioned vehicle. The representative confirms the correct terminal and helps with the final drop-off arrangements.
The 6 Days Cairo and Alexandria Vacation concludes at the airport.

"Amazing Egyptian vacation!
May 2026
We did an 11 day private tour of Cairo, cruise on the Nile between Aswan and Luxor and a 4 day stay in Hurghada. The guided tours were very interesting, with extremely knowledgeable guides, attentive and helpful. The logistics between each site was very well done, giving us a memorable family vacation."
