Outstanding Brief Tour of Cairo and Surrounding Area
Our experience with Reflections Travel was outstanding. We were a group of 6 and the company created a custom itinerary based on our brief stay of 2 days, 3 nights. We were booked at the Hilton Ramses on the Nile River which was a great location about 40 minutes from the airport and centrally located in downtown Cairo. The breakfast was included and delicious. The hotel social spaces were beautiful although the room itself was quite dated. Ask for a room overlooking the Nile. Our tour guide could not be better. Rasha was delightful, knowledgable, flexible and so very personable. She maximized our short time frame taking us to Saqqara Necropolis, Memphis, Giza Pyramids and Sphinx and the old Egyptian Museum that houses the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world, as well as the Hanging Church, the oldest Christian Church in Africa (2nd C.) We ate lunch at two fabulous restaurants- one new and one very old. I would highly recommend Reflections Travel and especially Rasha as your guide. Our driver, Mohammed was also wonderful- always prompt, helpful and friendly. We ended our two days feeling like we had made two wonderful friends in Cairo!

Day trip Cairo to Alexandria
Our day started out with the tour guide Mohammed arriving 15 minutes early. We had a 7:30 pick up time, it was great having someone on time/early. We picked up another couple. My family was my mom, dad, myself, and my 11 and 11 year old children. And we were off to Alexandria. We stopped for a restroom break about an hour into the 2 hr drive (best rest room we have seen in Egypt). We went to the Catacombs first, they were pretty cool. A smaller place but you go down and see some old catacombs. My kids liked how dark and cool they were. We went to Pompeiis Pillar next. This was pretty to see but there is not a lot to see. It was really hot in August. There is the pillar, and an underground area that used to be a library, and another underground area that was a temple. We went to the Alexandria Library 3rd. And took a toor of the library. We thought we would see old scrolls and books, but it was just a tour of a beautiful new library. Interesting, but we were hoping to see the old stuff. Last but not least, we stopped atthe Citadel. It was a gorgeous orangy tan colored old fort. You get to walk in and all the way to the top. You can see all of Alexandria and the Mediterranean Sea. This was beautiful. Following the 4 sites, we went to a sea food lunch, which was worth the whole price of the trip. We had shrimp and fish and rice and veggies and pita bread. It aas the most amazing seafood meal i have ever had. After lunch we were on our way back to Cairo. We had a restroom break about an hour into the 2 hr drive, and this had a super clean restroom also. It was a roadside pizza type restaurant. Very clean and very nice. The driver and tour guide were both talkative and answered all questions that we asked. It was informative, fun and a great experience outside of Cairo. My family had a great time.

Lifetime experience Reflection tour with guide M.mahmound 👍👍👍
Relax and don’t worry about a thing when you book with Reflections. As one who has traveled around the world and has had a variety of experiences I can say Firsthand that Reflections and Muhammad do it right. Being met on time in the airport all the way to the hotel was priceless. No need to panic on what you need when you land. A big point is they are in the business of taking care of you. Trust the guide Mohamed Mahmoud as he provides you with great knowledge of the culture and customs to help you have an enjoyable trip. I also saw firsthand the driver go out of his way to make special stops and make sure things were taken care of. Having this driver was like having your own personal helicopter (but car) he was always there when you needed and took your right to the next place you were wanting to go. The driver made it very smooth always being on time throughout the entire trip. Both the driver also Mohammd and the guide went above and beyond expectations. You can tell he’s doing it for the love of the people. I highly recommend this tour. The ruins that we saw were amazing. Being at the top of the lighthouse castle feeling the breeze coming off the Mediterranean sea was gorgeous. Even the brand new library which is an amazing sight to behold. From someone who has traveled a lot, you will not find a better tour package. I’m great thank you to the Reflections team and Georgina for setting up this lifetime memory.

2 Day Private Tour Giza Pyramids/Egyptian Museum/Old Cairo & Alexandria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does 2 Day Private Tour Giza Pyramids/Egyptian Museum/Old Cairo & Alexandria cost?
+
Prices start at $251 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Day Private Tour Giza Pyramids/Egyptian Museum/Old Cairo & Alexandria take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is 2 Day Private Tour Giza Pyramids/Egyptian Museum/Old Cairo & Alexandria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Private Tour Giza Pyramids/Egyptian Museum/Old Cairo & Alexandria?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Day Private Tour Giza Pyramids/Egyptian Museum/Old Cairo & Alexandria suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day Private Tour Giza Pyramids/Egyptian Museum/Old Cairo & Alexandria?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day Private Tour Giza Pyramids/Egyptian Museum/Old Cairo & Alexandria start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
