Overview

Your ship docks in Alexandria, but the pyramids are in Cairo, about 2.5 hours inland. This overnight tour gives you two unhurried days in the capital instead of one exhausting dash.

Day one takes you to the Giza Plateau for the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple, then to the Egyptian Museum, with an overnight stay at a Cairo hotel. Day two moves through Islamic Cairo: the Citadel of Saladin, the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and the lanes of the old city, before the drive back to your ship. Your private guide and driver shape both days around your sailing time.

Two days, one night, and real time at each site rather than a race against the clock.

Ideal for cruise guests who want Cairo properly, not squeezed into a single shore day.
