Alexandria Shore Excursions
Two port days: Greco-Roman coast or the Pyramids — Alexandria sights are minutes from the pier; Cairo & Giza are about 3 hours each way.
Cruising into Alexandria? Here's your day ashore
Alexandria gives cruise passengers a genuine choice of port day. Egypt's Mediterranean capital wears two thousand years of Greek, Roman and coastal history right beside the pier, so you can spend the day exploring the city itself — no long transfer required.
Or trade the coast for the desert and make the roughly three-hour run to Cairo and the Giza Pyramids for the country's most famous skyline. Both options are private, fully guided by an Egyptologist, and timed precisely so you are back aboard before departure.
How shore excursions work from Alexandria
From the Alexandria cruise terminal your guide can begin sightseeing within minutes for a city day, or set off by private vehicle toward Cairo (around three hours) for a Pyramids day. Either way you travel privately, eat well, and return on a schedule planned around your ship.
