ITINERARY DETAILS

DAY 1

Cairo


Your Egyptian adventure will begin the moment you land in Cairo, a city where ancient pyramids rise beyond a modern skyline. A private driver will greet you at the airport and take you to your hotel for check-in. You will have the rest of the day to unwind and soak in your surroundings. Enjoy the comforts of your hotel or ask your Travelive expert for ideas to start exploring, from a sunset stroll to a cozy rooftop café overlooking the city lights.

DAY 2

A Day Among Giants


Today, you will stand before the Great Pyramids of Giza, timeless guardians of the desert, and gaze into the enigmatic face of the Sphinx. With your private Egyptologist, uncover the secrets of the Valley Temple and marvel at feats of engineering that have endured for millennia. Later, journey into the heart of Old Cairo to explore sacred landmarks like the Hanging Church and the Ben Ezra Synagogue. As dusk falls, choose to dine beside the Nile or take in a traditional show, ending a day steeped in grandeur and spiritual heritage.

DAY 3

Hidden Treasures and Bustling Bazaars


This morning, discover ancient Egypt's splendor at the Grand Egyptian Museum. With your expert guide, trace the rise and fall of dynasties through towering statues, gleaming sarcophagi, and the world-famous treasures of Tutankhamun. After lunch at a local restaurant, wander into the kaleidoscope of color that is Khan El Khalili bazaar. Navigate narrow lanes scented with spices, browse artisan stalls, and pause for coffee in a centuries-old café. As the call to prayer echoes through the alleys, you will return to your hotel to reflect on a day filled with wonder.

DAY 4

Across the Desert to Siwa


Your road to adventure will stretch westward as you leave the city behind and journey toward the remote Siwa Oasis. Along the way, you will stop in El Alamein to visit the WWII Cemetery and Military Museum, followed by a scenic seaside lunch in Marsa Matrouh. As the terrain shifts from coast to desert, palm groves and ancient ruins will welcome you to Siwa. You will check in at the tranquil Siwa Shali Hotel, where dinner and a peaceful night under the stars await.

DAY 5

Stories Carved in Stone and Water


Wake up surrounded by silence and palms in Siwa, a place where history and myth intertwine. Today, you will visit the Temple of Amoun, where Alexander the Great once stood, and the Mountain of the Dead with its ancient tombs. You will then dip into Cleopatra's Bath, a bubbling spring still flowing with legend. After a local lunch, you will head to Abo Sherouf for a magical desert sunset that turns the salt lakes gold. Dinner at the hotel will close a day filled with timeless beauty.

DAY 6

Sand Dunes and Sacred Temples


Immerse yourself in Siwa's ancient soul and untamed beauty. Begin at the crumbling walls of Shali Fortress and the Oracle Temple, echoing with legends of pharaohs and gods. After a traditional lunch, set off on a thrilling desert safari. Ride across sculpted dunes, float effortlessly in salt-rich lakes, and soak in the natural warmth of desert springs. As the day ends at Ain Fatnas, watch the desert blush with hues of coral and gold. Back at your hotel, a quiet evening and a hearty dinner await after your adventure-filled day.

DAY 7

From Oasis to Ocean to City Lights


Your journey will take you from the calm of Siwa back to the energy of Cairo, with memorable stops along the way. You will visit Ageeba Beach, where turquoise waves crash against dramatic cliffs, and explore Rommel's Cave, a former military hideout with panoramic coastal views. After lunch en-route, you will continue across the desert until Cairo's skyline reappears. Upon arrival, you will check into your hotel for a relaxing final evening in the capital.

DAY 8

Departure


Your adventure through Egypt draws to a close. After breakfast, your private driver will escort you to Cairo International Airport for your journey home. As you depart, you take with you the majesty of ancient temples, the silence of the desert, the richness of the Nile, and the hospitality of a land that has welcomed travelers for thousands of years.

Hi Dina,

We had a fabulous time in Egypt! Our trip was very well organized and the Sakkara tour representatives/guides especially in Cairo were extremely friendly and helpful. I wish we had some more time to visit Abu Simbel....maybe next time!

Thank you for creating a great itinerary for us - we certainly felt that we made most of our time.

Happy Holidays!
