Overview

This two day tour from Travel Joy Egypt allows tourists to explore the ancient cities of Cairo and Alexandria.

This 2-day tour from Port Said takes cruise passengers to Cairo for the Giza pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then on to Alexandria for its Roman-era catacombs and coastal citadel before returning to the ship.

After being met at the port, the group is driven to Giza to see the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple of Khafre, followed by the Grand Egyptian Museum's collection, including gold and jewelry connected to Tutankhamun, and a local dining stop.

Following an overnight hotel stay in Cairo, the second day travels to Alexandria for the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, uncovered after a lengthy excavation, and the Qaitbay Citadel, along with a shopping stop before the drive back to Port Said.

The package includes port pickup and return between Port Said and Alexandria Port, all transfers by private air-conditioned vehicle, one night of hotel accommodation, a private English-speaking guide, entrance fees to the mentioned sites, lunch in both Cairo and Alexandria, bottled water on board, and all service charges and taxes; tipping and unlisted extras are not included.

Because it links two different ports, this tour suits cruise passengers on an itinerary that departs from one Egyptian port and returns to another, giving them a full overnight Cairo and Alexandria circuit in between.
