This Two Days Private Tour from Makadi Bay to Cairo and Alexandria by Private Vehicle combines the timeless wonders of Ancient Egypt with the Mediterranean charm of Alexandria, offering an exclusive travel experience designed for visitors who value comfort, flexibility, and authentic cultural discovery.

Leave the tranquil beaches of Makadi Bay behind as your private driver takes you across the Eastern Desert toward Cairo in a modern air-conditioned vehicle. Accompanied by your licensed Egyptologist guide, you’ll stand before the legendary Great Pyramids of Giza, admire the mysterious Great Sphinx, and explore the priceless treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum or the historic Egyptian Museum.

After an overnight stay in a carefully selected Cairo hotel, continue north to Alexandria—the legendary city founded by Alexander the Great.

Unlike crowded coach excursions, this private tour gives you complete freedom to travel at your own pace. Stop whenever you wish for photographs, enjoy personalized historical explanations from your Egyptologist, and experience Egypt’s greatest landmarks without rushing from one attraction to another.
