Rich in Greek, Roman, and Egyptian heritage, Alexandria offers a completely different atmosphere from Cairo while preserving centuries of fascinating history.

Begin your exploration at the impressive Citadel of Qaitbay, a magnificent 15th-century fortress built on the exact site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea before continuing to the world-famous Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a stunning modern library inspired by the ancient Library of Alexandria and recognized as one of the world's leading centers for knowledge and culture.

After returning to Cairo, your Alexandria and Upper Egypt Discovery journey continues with a domestic flight to Luxor, often described as the world's greatest open-air museum. Here you'll visit the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built, where towering columns, sacred lakes, and monumental statues showcase the incredible achievements of ancient Egyptian architecture.

Your exploration continues at Luxor Temple, beautifully preserved and dramatically illuminated during the evening. Built by several powerful pharaohs, this remarkable temple reflects the artistic and spiritual importance of ancient Thebes and remains one of Egypt's most spectacular monuments.

Discover Luxor, Aswan, and Egypt's Timeless Legacy
