Frequently Asked Questions – Cairo & Alexandria Tour from Hurghada by Plane
What Our Guests Say About the Cairo & Alexandria Tour ⭐
“Two completely different cities in two days – and both were extraordinary. The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa in Alexandria were unlike anything I’ve seen. The Qaitbay Citadel with the Mediterranean view was breathtaking. And waking up with the Pyramids outside the hotel window on day two was something I will never forget.”
“The itinerary is perfectly designed – Alexandria first while you’re fresh off the flight, then Cairo the next day. Our Egyptologist was brilliant on both days. The GEM on day two was simply beyond words. Memnon Reisen handled every single detail flawlessly.”
“I had no idea Alexandria was so beautiful. Pompey’s Pillar is one of the most impressive Roman monuments I’ve seen anywhere. The Catacombs were eerie and fascinating. Then arriving back in Cairo to see the Pyramids lit up in the evening was a magical moment. Highly recommended.”
“Booking the plane option was absolutely the right choice. No long bus journeys, no exhaustion – just pure sightseeing. Our guide was with us every step of the way. Khan el-Khalili on the last evening was the perfect way to end two unforgettable days in Egypt.”
