02 Overview
A first look
At dawn the low sun tints the Giza limestone pale and cool, and the city noise falls away to a distant murmur as you stand near the pyramids. You will move between open-air monuments and the shaded alleyways of Cairo Old, tasting ful and mint tea, listening as our Egyptologists translate the hieroglyphs into clear, chronological stories that make sense on the ground.
We arrange every on-the-ground detail so the days unfold without logistical friction: private pick-up, door-to-door transfers, and a licensed Egyptologist with you throughout. We do not run group bus tours; every departure is private and paced to your interests, and your Egyptologist will suggest where to linger or move on.

CairoAlexandria 2 Nights from Cairo – Wad Natrun & Pompey's Pillar
Two-night private itinerary from Cairo to Alexandria, visiting Wad Natrun monasteries, Pompey's Pillar, the Kom el-Shoqafa catacombs, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Roman Museum. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we arrange private transfers and an Egyptologist to accompany key visits. Cairo to Alexandria is about 220 km (roughly 2.5–3 hours by car). Unlike rushed one-day coach excursions, this itinerary gives you two nights and a full day in Alexandria to see the main sites at a steady pace. Trade-offs: expect early starts, a long road transfer each way and limited shade at several outdoor sites.

3-Day Cairo: Giza, Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo
A three-day private Cairo itinerary visiting the Giza Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum and Old Cairo with private transport and an English-speaking Egyptologist. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we don't run group-bus tours; all site visits and transfers are private. Day one focuses on the Giza Plateau (Khufu, Khafre, Menkaure) with a sunrise or early-morning option to avoid crowds. Day two covers the Egyptian Museum and Tahrir area; day three visits Coptic and Islamic Cairo including the Citadel and Khan el-Khalili bazaar. Unlike cruise-ship day trips, two nights in Cairo let you schedule Giza at dawn and a calmer afternoon for the Museum. Standard site fees are included; the Khufu pyramid interior, premium tombs (Tutankhamun/Seti I) and gratuities are excluded. Expect early starts, busy sites and limited shade at Giza; modest dress is required for mosques.
