OUR TOP PICK

Alexandria & Saqqara

  • Alexandria: As the nation’s second-largest city, it is perfect for a day trip or overnight stay. Walk in the footsteps of Cleopatra at the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress built atop the ruins of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Don’t miss the Alexandria National Museum, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a rebirth of antiquity’s greatest library.

  • Saqqara: This vast necropolis is where pyramid-building began. The Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s oldest monumental stone structure (c. 2650 BCE), allows visitors to ascend its tiers and explore its corridors. Surrounding it, lesser-known pyramids and tombs reveal how Egyptian architecture evolved over centuries.
