A week based around Cairo can bring together ancient monuments, historic neighborhoods and a Mediterranean excursion without changing hotels every day. Samaria’s seven-day Cairo and Alexandria private programme is listed as seven days and six nights, with airport arrival and departure days framing the sightseeing.
How the week is arranged
- Day 1: Cairo airport arrival, assistance and hotel transfer.
- Day 2: Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
- Day 3: Old Cairo, the Citadel and Khan El Khalili.
- Day 4: A full-day Alexandria excursion.
- Day 5: Museums and historic palaces.
- Day 6: Saqqara and Dahshur.
- Day 7: Airport departure transfer.
Confirm the final order against your arrival time and the operating arrangements for each attraction. The programme describes Cairo sightseeing days of up to eight hours including transport, and an Alexandria excursion of up to ten hours.
Accommodation, transport and guiding
The published inclusions list six nights in a four-star hotel with a pyramids view, daily breakfast and lunch, a private air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver, itinerary transfers, airport assistance, an English-speaking guide for sightseeing, and admission to the named attractions. Ask for the hotel name, room category, bed arrangement and meal schedule in the final quotation.
What needs a separate budget?
Flights, dinner, beverages, personal expenses and gratuities are excluded. Ask whether special-access tickets, such as a pyramid interior, are included in the selected plan or need an additional charge. Review the total for your party, selected dates and room arrangement rather than relying only on a starting price.
Keep the week comfortable
Give the team your flight details, group size, children’s ages and accessibility or dietary needs. Leave arrival-day sightseeing flexible and confirm departure pickup against your flight. If you prefer independent daily choices, use the tour directory to compare separate excursions.
