Tour Overview

Port Said sits at the Mediterranean end of the Suez Canal, and many cruise ships call there on routes through the region. This private day trip takes you from the port to Cairo for the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then brings you back before your ship leaves.

An Egyptologist guide meets you at the port. You ride to Cairo in a private air-conditioned vehicle and start at the Giza plateau. Here you see the Pyramids of Giza, built for the Fourth Dynasty kings Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. Close by stand the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre, made from large granite and limestone blocks.

Lunch is at a local restaurant in Cairo. You then continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, a short distance from the pyramids, where the treasures of Tutankhamun are displayed. Your guide picks out the most important objects so you can make good use of your time inside.

What to know before booking

The excursion is available every day. Pickup and return are at Port Said port, and the schedule is set around your ship so you are back on board before departure. It is a long day on the road, so it suits travelers who want Egypt’s best-known sights in a single visit. Bring your passport and ship card, comfortable shoes and sun protection. Your guide, entrance fees, lunch and bottled water are covered. Rates are per person, based on group size, and the price per head goes down as more people share the trip.

Prices start from $275 per person.
