Discover Ancient Cairo & Alexandria – Timeless Wonders

Cairo and Alexandria are the two cities that have left an indelible mark on the map of Egypt. With breathtaking views and endless discoveries, your journey into the past will be nothing less than extraordinary. The starting point of this great adventure is Cairo—a city that is not only the cradle of civilization but also a vibrant and busy modern metropolis.

Cairo is a city of contrasts with the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx—the wonders of the ancient world still in their place and viewable along with the modern skyline. 

Next, head to the northern part of Egypt, where the coastal town Alexandria—the “Pearl of the Mediterranean” awaits you. Visit the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey’s Pillar, and the Qaitbay Citadel to learn about the ancient past; and be mesmerized by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a beautiful modern homage to the long-gone city’s famous library.

The 6-day cultural course presents a perfect combination of history, relaxation at the coast, and enjoying local virtues, suitable for those travelers who want to taste Egypt through one profound trip.
