Four days in Cairo and Alexandria planned for students and school groups on a budget. After arriving in Cairo you visit the Giza Pyramids, then spend a day in Alexandria on the Mediterranean before your departure on day four. Airport transfers and guiding are included, so groups can focus on learning rather than logistics, from $255.
Your Egypt Day Tours representative meets you at Cairo airport with a name sign and helps you through immigration and customs, then takes you by private air-conditioned car to your hotel. On the way they run through the plan for your trip and answer any questions, and at the hotel they help you check in. Overnight in Cairo. Meals: none.
After breakfast your guide takes you to the Giza Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre, then on to the Grand Egyptian Museum near the Pyramids, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection, much of it on display for the first time, in galleries that take you through Egyptian history in order. In the evening you can add the Sound and Light Show, a dinner cruise or a night tour of Cairo; your guide can arrange it. Overnight in Cairo. Meals: breakfast and lunch.
