Port Said Shore Excursions
Mediterranean gateway to Cairo — about 2.5 to 3 hours each way to Cairo.
Cruising into Port Said? Here's your day ashore
Port Said stands at the Mediterranean mouth of the Suez Canal, and for cruise passengers it is the northern doorway to Cairo. The capital and the Giza Pyramids lie around two-and-a-half to three hours away, well within reach of a single, well-run day ashore.
With a longer call, an overnight program lets you pair Cairo's Pharaonic wonders with Greco-Roman Alexandria on the coast — two cities, two civilisations, one cruise stop. Every Port Said excursion is private and escorted by a licensed Egyptologist, with comfortable transport and the timing managed entirely around your ship.

We track your ship's schedule throughout and guarantee a punctual return.
