9 Days Alexandria, Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Holiday

The 9 Days Alexandria, Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Holiday starts with a light first evening. Arrival times, immigration, baggage collection, and Cairo traffic can vary, so the main sightseeing begins the next morning.

Cairo Airport Arrival

An Egypt Online Tour representative meets you at Cairo International Airport and arranges your private transfer to the hotel.

Your final travel documents show the confirmed meeting point, hotel details, and local contact information.

First-time visitors can prepare with our guide to visiting Egypt for the first time.

Evening Nile Dinner Cruise

Later, board a Nile dinner cruise and see Cairo from the water.

Dinner and onboard entertainment give you an easy first look at the city. The final cruise time follows your confirmed arrival schedule, not one fixed time for every traveler.

After breakfast, meet your private Egyptologist and travel to the Giza Plateau.

Today pairs Egypt’s best-known archaeological landscape with its major museum experience.

Giza Pyramids Complex

Walk across the plateau and see the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.
Your guide explains how the pyramids, temples, causeways, and nearby tombs formed complete royal funerary complexes.

For more context before your visit, explore our Pyramids land private tours.

Great Sphinx and Valley Temple

Continue to the Great Sphinx and Valley Temple.

Interior pyramid access needs a separate ticket when available. Tell Egypt Online Tour before confirmation if entering a pyramid matters to you.

Grand Egyptian Museum

Continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum for the Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum Tour part of the itinerary.

The collections add objects, names, art, and daily-life detail to the civilization you saw at Giza.

The order is simple. The plateau shows the scale first. The museum then adds context.

Travelers who want more museum time can compare our Grand Egyptian Museum Tour.

After lunch, return to your Cairo hotel.

The 9 Days Alexandria, Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Holiday changes character today.

The burial complex blends Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic traditions in one setting.

Pompey’s Pillar

Continue to Pompey’s Pillar and the remains around the ancient Serapeum area.

Qaitbay Citadel

The 15th-century fortress stands close to the site linked by tradition to the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina

After lunch, continue to Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

Public access follows the library’s operating schedule, so the team checks the planned visit against your travel date before final confirmation.

Return privately to Cairo in the evening.

The 9 Days Alexandria, Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Holiday now moves from cultural touring to the coast.

Start the morning with breakfast, then leave your hotel and head to Cairo International Airport for your flight.

A domestic flight saves a long road transfer. Egypt Online Tour confirms the flight before travel and plans your hotel pickup around airline check-in times.

Domestic baggage limits follow the booked fare.

Arrive in Sharm El Sheikh

Meet the local representative after landing and transfer to your resort.

The rest of the day stays open. Walk beside the sea, use the hotel facilities, or rest after the Cairo and Alexandria program.

Travelers who want a dedicated water outing can consider the Ras Mohamed Boat Trip & White Island.

The Red Sea is only one side of Sharm El Sheikh.

Today takes you inland for a Sharm El Sheikh Desert Safari and a different view of South Sinai.

Open landscapes and Bedouin surroundings create a clear contrast with the resort and beach days.

Egypt Online Tour reconfirms the departure time and activities locally because weather, operating conditions, and the selected safari format can affect the final program.

Return to Sharm El Sheikh afterward.

A balanced holiday should know when to leave the schedule alone.

The 9 Days Alexandria, Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Holiday gives you a full day with no airport transfer, museum entrance, or required excursion.

Airlines use different check-in windows, and Cairo traffic changes through the day. For that reason, the team does not use one fixed airport pickup time for every traveler.

Then transfer privately to Cairo International Airport for departure.
