CAIRO – ALEXANDRIA AND FAYOUM

8 Days

Overview

Cairo, Alexandria, and Fayoum are three distinct but significant regions in Egypt. Cairo, the bustling capital city, serves as the country’s political and cultural hub, known for its historic landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum, housing a treasure trove of ancient artifacts. Alexandria, situated on the Mediterranean coast, offers a unique blend of history and coastal charm, with its renowned library, stunning seafront promenade, and Greco-Roman heritage. In contrast, Fayoum, a tranquil oasis southwest of Cairo, is characterized by its lush landscapes, serene lakes, and archaeological sites, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling urban centers. Together, these regions encapsulate the rich diversity and historical significance of Egypt.
