This Long Weekend in Egypt by Boundless sees you guided around the most iconic and important sites of Egypt from the earliest structures in Saqqara, to the pyramids of Giza and the medieval architecture of old Cairo. Boundless hopes to show the intersection of thousands of years of history and modern Egyptian culture to give you as broad a perspective as we can of the ever changing country in a short stretch of time.
Upon your arrival at Cairo International Airport, our representative will be waiting for you. Once you meet them, they will ensure that you get to your hotel. When you get there, you can check in and use the rest of the day to relax.
After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel to begin your journey with a visit to Egypt’s most quintessential landmarks: the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Enjoy a quick lunch break before moving from Giza to Saqqara, not only famous for its step pyramid, but also the astoundingly good condition of the temples surrounding it.
After Saqqara, you will return to your hotel for a relaxed end to the day.
Begin your day with a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which details every period of ancient Egypt with a variety of artifacts from statues of pharaohs to tools of the average peasant. The day’s activities continue to the medieval Citadel of Salah El-Din and the magnificent Mohammed Ali Mosque. Following the citadel, the day concludes in the energetic and bustling Old Cairo.
At the end of the day, you’ll return to your hotel for your last night in Egypt.
Transfer to Cairo International Airport and leave Egypt with cherished memories of your adventure.
