Tour Program
Istanbul - Cairo
Our tour begins with a meeting at Istanbul Airport's International Departures Terminal. After completing check-in, baggage drop, and boarding procedures, we depart for Cairo on a scheduled Turkish Airlines flight. Upon arrival in Cairo during the afternoon hours, we join our private vehicle to commence a Panoramic City Tour of Cairo. First, we take in the historic city center of Old Cairo, which reflects the city's centuries-old Islamic heritage through its historic mosques, madrasas, stone structures, and bustling streets. Next, we visit the Muhammad Ali Mosque, located within the Citadel of Saladin, renowned for its grand dome, slender minarets, and interior walls clad in alabaster, earning it the nickname "Alabaster Mosque." Continuing our tour, we view the Unknown Soldier Monument, built to honor soldiers who lost their lives in the October 1973 War and serving as an iconic symbol of modern Egyptian history. We then proceed to Heliopolis to see the Baron Empain Palace, one of Cairo's most unique architectural landmarks, inspired by Indian and Khmer styles, featuring elaborate reliefs and a distinctive towered silhouette; here, we pause for photos. Following this, we visit Tahrir Square, one of the most famous squares in modern Egypt and a central hub for the city's administrative, political, and social life. In the final segment of our tour, we head toward the heart of historic Cairo: the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. With its narrow alleys, traditional craft shops, spice merchants, souvenir stalls, and vibrant atmosphere, this is one of the city's most colorful areas. We allow free time for shopping and exploration. Afterward, we transfer to our hotel. Guests wishing may optionally join the Evening Nile River Cruise with Dinner (USD 110), organized by our guide. Following the cruise and dinner, offering a magical glimpse of the Nile and Cairo, we return to our hotel for overnight accommodation.
Cairo
After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, you will have free time. Guests who wish may join an optional tour organized by our guide: Grand Egyptian Museum & Pyramids & Sphinx Tour with Lunch (USD 160). We set off to explore some of the most iconic symbols of Cairo and ancient Egyptian civilization. Our first stop will be the Grand Egyptian Museum, rising near the Giza Pyramids and recognized as the world's largest museum dedicated to a single civilization. With its contemporary architecture, the museum brings together the magnificent heritage of ancient Egypt; through thousands of artifacts spanning different periods of Egyptian history—including Tutankhamun galleries, statues of pharaohs, mummies, everyday objects, royal treasures, and Khufu's solar boats—we will gain close insight into various eras of this ancient culture. After the museum visit, we enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Following the meal, we proceed to the Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu—the only surviving wonder of the Ancient World—as well as the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Built during the Fourth Dynasty as monumental tomb complexes for the pharaohs, these pyramids offer breathtaking views against the surrounding desert landscape, with scheduled photo stops at designated points. Continuing our tour, we visit the Great Sphinx of Giza, carved from a single block of limestone, featuring a human head and lion's body, symbolizing the power and wisdom of the pharaohs. Standing before the complex of Khafre's pyramid for thousands of years as if guarding the Giza Plateau, this monumental structure remains one of the most mysterious and iconic works from ancient Egypt to the present day. After the tour, we transfer back to our hotel for overnight stay.
Cairo
After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, you will have free time. Guests who wish may join an optional lunch-included tour to Saqqara and Memphis (95 USD), organized by our guide. Our first stop will be Saqqara, one of the oldest and most important necropolis sites of Ancient Egypt. This historic area served for centuries as a burial ground for the royal family and high-ranking officials. Here, we will see the Step Pyramid, built in honor of Pharaoh Djoser and regarded as the beginning of monumental stone architecture in Egypt. Designed by the architect Imhotep, this magnificent structure marks a pivotal point in the development of later classical pyramids. Through the surrounding archaeological remains, tomb structures, and the vast necropolis, we will learn from our guide about early Ancient Egyptian beliefs, burial customs, and architectural evolution. After visiting Saqqara, we will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Following the meal, we will head toward Memphis, one of the oldest capitals of Ancient Egypt, which has maintained its significance as a political, religious, and cultural center for centuries. In this ancient city, which became a major power hub during the Old Kingdom period, we will admire monumental statues reflecting the grandeur of the pharaohs and explore the archaeological ruins that have survived to the present day. At this important center where the state system of Ancient Egyptian civilization took shape, we will immerse ourselves in the historical atmosphere spanning thousands of years. Upon completing the tour, we will return to Cairo and transfer back to our hotel. Overnight stay at our hotel.
Cairo – Alexandria – Istanbul
After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for a Panoramic Alexandria City Tour. Our first stop is Qaitbay Citadel, built in the 15th century by Mamluk Sultan Qaitbay on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. With its strategic coastal location, thick defensive walls, towers, and military architecture that has protected the Port of Alexandria throughout history, the citadel offers an intimate glimpse into the city's maritime past. Continuing our tour, we visit the Ancient Roman Theatre located within the Kom el-Dikka archaeological site. This structure, featuring semicircular marble seating rows and columns, is one of the most significant surviving examples of urban life from the Roman era. The surrounding ruins of ancient baths, residential buildings, and mosaics shed light on Alexandria's social and cultural life during the Roman and Byzantine periods. Next, we learn from our guide about the Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs, one of Alexandria's most impressive ancient sites. Known for its three underground burial chambers carved into the rock, spiral staircases, and unique architecture blending Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic traditions, the catacombs feature reliefs, statues, and sections used in funeral rites that reflect the city's role as a meeting point of diverse civilizations. Our final stop is Pompey's Pillar, which stands on the site of the grand Temple of Serapis dedicated to the god Serapis in antiquity. Although commonly known as Pompey's Pillar due to popular tradition, this monumental column was actually erected in honor of the Roman Emperor Diocletianus and is constructed from red Aswan granite. We will admire the pillar and the surrounding ancient ruins before enjoying free time until the airport transfer arranged by our guide at a designated hour. Following our free time, we will be transferred to Alexandria International Airport.
Alexandria – Istanbul
Upon our arrival at Alexandria Airport, we complete our ticket and baggage procedures for the scheduled Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul. With our arrival at Istanbul Airport, our tour and all included services come to an end.
