Overview
Tour Description
A private shore excursion from Alexandria cruise port to Cairo for the two sights everyone wants to see: the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Your guide and driver meet you at the ship and bring you back before all-aboard.
Highlights
- The Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple
- Tutankhamun’s treasures at the Grand Egyptian Museum
- Lunch at a local restaurant
Back on board on time
We meet you at the cruise terminal exit and track your ship’s schedule. The drive from Alexandria to Cairo is about three hours each way, so we plan the day around your all-aboard time and leave a safe margin. If the road is unusually slow, your guide shortens the program rather than risk the ship.
