Experience the grandeur of Cairo and Alexandria in just 2 days!
Embark on an exciting journey to Egypt's two most important and largest cities with the "2-Day Cairo and Alexandria Tour from Hurghada." Both cities serve as the country's trade and cultural hubs.
Cairo, the largest city not only in Egypt but also in the entire African continent, is located in the heart of the Nile. It is a city of contrasts, where tall buildings, luxurious hotels, promenades, and bustling Eastern bazaars coexist with ancient pyramids and the Great Sphinx, which peacefully overlooks the hustle and bustle of the world throughout the centuries. Cairo encompasses the ancient and modern history of Egypt and is undoubtedly an essential part of getting acquainted with the country.
Founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE, Alexandria served as the capital of Egypt during the Greco-Roman period and was an important trade and cultural center that attracted scholars and philosophers. It was here that Caesar and his successor were captivated by the beauty of the last queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty, Cleopatra.
