Egypt Travel Guide: Walking Through 5,000 Years of History in 6 Days

Few destinations on earth carry the weight of history that Egypt does. From the Pyramids of Giza to the streets of Alexandria, this six-day itinerary covers the essential sites of one of the world's oldest civilisations. The Pyramids of Giza The last surviving wonder of the ancient world, the Great Pyramids of Giza remain genuinely awe-inspiring in person, their scale impossible to fully appreciate through photographs alone. The Great Pyramid of Khufu, built around 4,500 years ago, stood as the tallest man-made structure on earth for over 3,800 years. The Sphinx Standing guard beside the pyramids, the Great Sphinx of Giza, with its lion's body and human head carved from a single limestone outcrop, remains one of the most enigmatic monuments of the ancient world, its original purpose still debated by historians. The Egyptian Museum Home to one of the world's most significant collections of ancient artefacts, including treasures from Tutankhamun's tomb, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo offers essential context for understanding everything else seen on the trip. Alexandria Founded by Alexander the Great and once home to the legendary Library of Alexandria, this Mediterranean coastal city offers a different character entirely from Cairo, with its Greco-Roman heritage and seaside Corniche promenade.
