Travel to Egypt: Cairo, Wadi El Natrun, Alexandria, and the Giza Pyramids

From: $ 880*

Cairo is one of the largest cities located in Northern Africa. It is the capital of Egypt, close to Giza City, where the pyramids of Cheops, Kefren, and Mikerinos, also known as the Giza Pyramids Complex, can be found. They are one of the top tourist attractions of the world. The Great Sphinx of Giza, a 4,500-year-old limestone statue, will surprise you.

The Egyptian Museum is another must-see place that you will visit on this tour. You will learn about ancient Egyptian history while admiring the museum’s many antiquities, such as the Gold Mask of Tutankhamun and the mummies of kings.

Wadi El Natrun is a valley in the Egyptian desert with a long spiritual history. Christian monks used it for its serenity, desolate landscapes, and salt lakes. In Wadi El Natrun, you will find well-preserved monasteries such as the Monastery of Saint Bishoy, ancient churches, and unique architecture.

In Alexandria, you will enjoy a spectacular view of the Corniche waterfront and explore the Great Library of Alexandria, one of the most iconic libraries of the ancient world.
