Frequently Asked Questions – Cairo & Alexandria Tour from Sharm El Sheikh
What Our Guests Say About the Cairo & Alexandria Tour from Sharm El Sheikh ⭐
“We were staying in Sharm and never thought we’d be able to see both Cairo and Alexandria in just two days. The flight made it completely possible. The Pyramids on day one were breathtaking and the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa on day two were completely different – eerie and fascinating. Memnon Reisen organised everything perfectly.”
“The GEM on day one was extraordinary – the Tutankhamun collection alone is worth the trip. Qaitbay Citadel in Alexandria with the Mediterranean view behind it was stunning. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate throughout both days. No shopping pressure, no wasted time.”
“Pompey’s Pillar in Alexandria is more impressive than I expected – standing alone in an open square, it dwarfs everything around it. Khan el-Khalili on the evening of day one was colourful and atmospheric. Flying from Sharm made the whole two days completely stress-free.”
“We did this as a family from Sharm and the kids were completely absorbed by both days. The Great Sphinx up close is something children never forget. Alexandria showed them a completely different side of Egypt – Greek, Roman and Egyptian all in one city. A wonderful two days.”
