The pickup is at Alexandria Port
The journey commences as you step off the cruise ship and are greeted by a well-trained guide who is holding a name sign. After a warm welcome, you get comfortable in an air-conditioned vehicle for the ride to Cairo, an approximately three-hour journey with a short break to revitalize yourself.
Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum
Upon arrival in Cairo, you will head directly to the much-anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), home of the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world, and whose vast halls seem to overflow with treasures: the entire collection of the tomb of Tutankhamun, displayed together for the first time, colossal statues, intricately carved sarcophagi, and interactive exhibits that bring Egypt's rich history to life. Your guide will tell you about the stories behind those incredible artifacts.
Lunch with a View
Lunch then shades into an exciting offering at a local restaurant with a view of the Pyramids. Enjoy delicious Egyptian dishes while soaking in the beautiful scenery all around. Various vegetarian or special meal options are available on request.
Tour the Giza Pyramids & Sphinx
This afternoon you are on a Giza Plateau, where the three majestic, ancient Egyptian monuments called the pyramids stand: the great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Take a moment and stare awestruck at them. Next, your guide will tell you some interesting facts about the construction of each pyramid, including some mysteries associated with it. Finally, entry into one of the pyramids is optional to you (fee applies).
A short walk leads you to the Great Sphinx- the enigmatic guardian of the plateau. Capture stunning photos and hear the myths surrounding this colossal limestone statue.
Optional Activities
Panoramic Viewpoint: Visit a high vantage point and take in a breathtaking full view of the pyramids.
Return to Alexandria Port
This is the end of the day, and you will enjoy your private vehicle ride back to Alexandria. After getting back to the port, you will board your cruise with unforgettable memories of Egypt's ancient wonders.
