This full-day shore excursion brings cruise guests from Alexandria Port to Cairo for a guided visit to the Giza pyramid complex and the Grand Egyptian Museum before returning to the ship the same evening.
After disembarking, the group is met by a representative and driven roughly three hours to Cairo, with a midway stop and views of the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus as the vehicle approaches Giza. On the plateau, the tour covers the pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple, followed by a local lunch and an afternoon visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where thousands of artifacts from the pharaonic era, including items connected to Tutankhamun's treasures, are on display.
A private English-speaking guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle stay with the group throughout, and the tour includes entrance fees to the sites named, a restaurant lunch, bottled water on board, and all taxes and service charges; personal spending and tipping are not included.
Pickup and drop-off are arranged directly at the cruise exit door of Alexandria Port, and because the schedule is built around a same-day return to the ship, this excursion suits cruise passengers who want to see the pyramids and the national museum's collection without giving up more than a single day in port.

Itinerary
Greeted by one of Travel Joy Egypt's representatives upon disembarking their cruise ship in Alexandria Port, guests are escorted to the awaiting transportation.
During the approximately 3 hour drive to Cairo with a midway stopover, arrangements permit admiring views of the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus rising against the skyline. Brief introductions at the Great Sphinx precede entering its associated Valley Temple.
After replenishing over a locally sourced lunch, the visit continues at the renowned Grand Egyptian Museum. Here, thousands of artifacts from the pharaonic periods including Treasures of Tutankhamun are preserved – a collection spanning over 5 millennia of priceless art. As time allows, the drive guides to Khan El Khalili bazaar before rendezvousing at Alexandria Port in good time for ship boarding later. Skilled local escorting and carefully crafted logistics characterize every facet of Travel Joy Egypt's highly praised tours.
