Day Tour to Cairo & Pyramids from Port Said

This full-day shore excursion takes cruise passengers from Port Said to Cairo to see the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum, with a stop that includes a demonstration of ancient Egyptian papermaking.

Guests are collected directly from the ship at Port Said and driven around three hours to Cairo, joining a police-escorted convoy for part of the route. On the Giza Plateau, the group views the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure along with the Sphinx before continuing to the Grand Egyptian Museum, described as home to the world's largest collection of Egyptian artifacts, including pieces linked to King Tutankhamun.

A stop demonstrating the traditional Egyptian craft of papermaking is built into the day alongside a lunch break at a local restaurant.

An English-speaking guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle travel with the group for the full round trip, and the price includes entrance fees to the sites listed, lunch, bottled water on board, and all service charges and taxes; only tipping and unlisted extras are additional.

Because pickup and return are arranged directly at Port Said and the day is timed around the ship's schedule, this tour is designed for cruise passengers who want a single guided day in Cairo covering the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the national museum's antiquities without arranging transport themselves.
