Visiting the pyramids in Giza

Upon the arrival in Cairo, the first site to be visited is the great pyramids in Giza, one of the wonders of the ancient world: the three great pyramids:

The Pyramid of Khufu (Great Pyramid): A colossal building beyond imagination, this great pyramid is the largest and oldest among the three.

The Pyramid of Khefren: Retains its limestone casing at the top.

The Pyramid of Menkaure: Still the smallest, but by no means the least interesting of the three.

The Great Sphinx welcomes you again: This mythical statue, with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, has guarded the pyramids for over 4,500 years. If time permits, optional extra activities include a short camel ride in the desert or entering one or more of the pyramids (optional and subject to extra charges).

Lunch at a Local Restaurant

After visiting the pyramids, a traditional Egyptian lunch is waiting for you in a nice local restaurant in the heart of Cairo. Taste the local food for an authentic flavor, enhancing the whole experience of this tour.

Tour of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization

Off to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), which presents the history of Egypt, from prehistoric to modern times, amazing for any visitor; this is yet another highlight. The great collection displays thousands of artifacts deemed to speak for Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, and Islamic influence.

Another one of the chief attractions, there is the Royal Mummies Hall, which is like a home for the well-preserved bodies of ancient rulers Ramses II and queen Hatshepsut-the guide will dish you some interesting stories about these two and interweave these stories with exhibits and the timeline of Egypt.

Returning to Alexandria Port

This ends the complete day with plenty of sightseeing on the beautiful land of Egypt, and you are escorted back to Alexandria Port for your cruise.

The Giza Pyramids and National Museum tour from the Alexandria Port combine history, culture, and adventure for an experience that cannot be forgotten in Egypt.
