Day Trip to Pyramids & Nile from Alexandria Port

This full-day shore excursion pairs a visit to the Giza pyramid complex with a lunch cruise on the Nile, giving Alexandria Port cruise passengers both an ancient-history stop and a relaxed afternoon on the river before returning to their ship.

After being met at the port, the group is driven roughly three hours to Cairo to see the Great Pyramids, the Valley Temple, and the Sphinx. From there the itinerary moves to a Nile cruiser for lunch, where a regional buffet is served alongside a live folkloric performance while the boat sails past riverside landmarks.

A stop at artisan workshops on the way back gives travelers a chance to see local craftsmanship before the return drive to Alexandria Port; because of travel time, guests should not expect to be back onboard their ship before roughly 9 PM.

A private English-speaking guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle stay with the group for the full day, and the price covers entrance fees to the pyramid sites, bottled water on board, and lunch during the Nile cruise sailing, plus all taxes and service charges; only tipping and unlisted extras are additional.

This tour suits cruise passengers who want to combine the classic pyramids visit with a more relaxed, scenic component on the water rather than a straight sightseeing-only itinerary, and it runs daily to align with ship calls at Alexandria Port.
