Itinerary
Uncover the magic of Egypt’s ancient wonders on the Cairo and Alexandria Tour, a 4-day guided adventure that whisks you through the country’s most iconic highlights. From the moment you’re welcomed at the airport, you’ll visit the legendary Sphinx and the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerions, as well as the priceless treasures of the Egyptian Museum. The journey continues to Alexandria, home of the famous Library, royal gardens, the site of the ancient Lighthouse, and opulent palaces. With seamless transfers and expert guidance, this tour package is perfect for travelers eager for a compact, yet comprehensive, introduction to Egypt’s rich history.
day 1 - Arrival in Cairo
Arrive at Cairo airport and meet your representative who will be there holding the sign of Ramasside Tours. Transfer in an air-conditioned car to your hotel. Overnight in Cairo.
day 2 - Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum
Have your breakfast and head for the Egyptian Museum. On display in the museum is 5,000 years of Egyptian history in the form of a variety of art collections. These artworks form the largest and most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world.
Over 250,000 genuine artefacts are there in the museum, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamun, which did not see the light of the day for nearly 3,500 years, until his tomb was discovered in the 1920's.
Head for the pyramids. See the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerions. Cheops' pyramid is the most colossal one ever built. See the Sphinx – a huge funeral complex guarded by the legendary animal with the body of a lion and the face of king Chephren. You also have the option of enjoying you dinner while cruising on the Nile (2 hours) and watching an Egyptian folk performance.
We will drive you back to the hotel at the end of the day. Stay overnight in Cairo.
day 3 - Cairo - Alexandria
Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel after breakfast and drive you to Alexandria. Start the tour with the library of Alexandria, once the biggest and most important library in the world. Visit its open court and free museums. Please note that the library is closed on Fridays and on every public holiday. To enter the reading area you will need to purchase an extra ticket.
Then visit the site of the Lighthouse, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world on which now stands the castle of Qaitbey. Head for the royal garden of King Farouk (the last king in the history of Egypt) and see the royal palaces of Haramlek and Salamlek as well as the private beaches of the queens.

Do not trust Ramasside with your clients or your travel plans
⭐ 1 Star Absolutely unacceptable. Do not trust Ramasside Tours with your clients or your travel plans. As a professional travel advisor, I booked multiple high-end private tours with Ramasside for cruise clients visiting Egypt. What followed was a complete disaster—poor service, misleading practices, broken promises, and serious damage to my clients’ once-in-a-lifetime trips. I coordinated Ramasside Tours for 67 clients, and more than 60% experienced major issues. This was not an isolated incident—it was a pattern of disorganization, deception, and complete disregard for guest experience. ❌ Refunds Promised, Never Delivered Multiple clients experienced severe service failures and were promised refunds. Now months have passed, and Ramasside has failed to follow through—despite repeated written confirmations and apologies. ❌ Private Tours Downgraded Without Consent Clients who paid for exclusive, private experiences were informed—sometimes days before, sometimes upon arrival—that they would be combined with other unknown groups, eliminating the VIP nature of the tour. One private group of 10 was merged with another group of 10, directly violating their confirmed agreement. ❌ No Guide Upon Arrival / Dangerous Transport Clients were left stranded in 104°F heat outside the port in Alexandria. No guide, no sign. They were eventually told to get into an unmarked, broken-down van with no seatbelts and no air conditioning. That van overheated on a 10-lane freeway, leaving them roadside for over 2 hours in traffic, without communication or water. ❌ Non-English-Speaking "Guides" Despite booking English-speaking Egyptologist guides, several groups were assigned individuals who could not speak English, had no idea what was included in the itinerary, and failed to explain any cultural or historical context as paid for. ❌ Key Attractions Missed or Mishandled Some clients missed the Sphinx entirely due to poor time management. Others were rushed through the Egyptian Museum, while watching other groups enjoy professional, engaging tours. ❌ Bait-and-Switch Tour Stops Instead of visiting the famous Khan el-Khalili bazaar (a listed highlight), groups were taken to commission-based shops—a perfum store, a spice vendor, or an empty souvenir shop where the lights were off until the guide turned them on. This was not part of the itinerary and not requested by anyone. ❌ Hotel Booking Problems One client arrived at a Hilton property to find no reservation under their name. Ramasside also failed to provide the Nile-view room that was promised. The issue was only resolved because the client used their Hilton Diamond status to intervene directly. ❌ No Support During Emergencies In multiple cases, drivers or guides simply didn’t show up, leaving clients panicked and scrambling to figure out what to do. Most clients were forced to skip their Alexandria tours entirely, due to Ramasside’s unreliability. ❌ Zero Accountability Dozens of detailed complaint letters with photos, videos, and documentation were sent to Ramasside. Responses ranged from silence to vague offers of a “discount on a future tour.” That’s an insult, not a resolution. Bottom line: Ramasside completely failed to deliver the premium service that was paid for—multiple times—and then evaded responsibility at every step. Their conduct has damaged client trust, my professional reputation, and their own brand beyond repair. 📢 Travelers beware. If you're considering Ramasside, reconsider. 📢 Travel professionals: protect your clients and your reputation. When 60%+ of travelers on multiple trips report serious issues, this is not a fluke—it’s a systemic failure.
Wonderful Trip!
A wonderful family vacation with well-executed planning and management by the tour company. Special thanks to our tour guide in Cairo "Haytham" for his friendly and in-depth information regarding the historic sites. Also the tour guide "Imad" for Luxor and Aswan. Last but not least "Salah" for transfers.
Great Trip!
Had an amazing time in Egypt! Dont listen to anyone, the country is totally safe for tourists! This tour was jam packed, not a lot of down time but I wanted to see as much as I could in a small amount of time! All the tour guides were amazing! Torek in Cairo, Amr in Luxor and Salah and Mohammed in Alexandria. They were so knowledgeable and professional and did everything they could to ensure everyone got the most out of their trip!!
