2 Days Cairo Tour from Alexandria Port Return to Port Said
Overview
Expert representatives welcome passengers disembarking in Alexandria to explore famous sites of Cairo over two days, including the iconic Giza Plateau with…
This 2-day tour is a repositioning shore excursion that picks travelers up at Alexandria Port, spends a day and night touring Cairo, and drops them off at Port Said, making it suited to cruise itineraries that change embarkation ports.
After disembarking at Alexandria, the group is driven roughly three hours to Cairo for the Giza Plateau's pyramids and the Sphinx, followed by a look at the early dynastic sites of Memphis and Saqqara.
After an overnight hotel stay, the second day continues with the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to a vast collection of pharaonic treasures including Tutankhamun's golden mask, then the Citadel for its historical overview of the city, and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar before the transfer to Port Said for re-boarding.
The package includes pickup at Alexandria Port and drop-off at Port Said, all transfers by private air-conditioned vehicle, one night of hotel accommodation in Cairo, a private English-speaking guide, entrance fees to all listed sites, lunch at a local restaurant, bottled water on board, and all service charges and taxes; tipping and any extras outside the program are not included.
Because it links two different ports rather than returning to the same one, this tour is built specifically for cruise passengers whose itinerary embarks from Alexandria and disembarks at Port Said, letting them see Cairo's major sites in between rather than staying on the ship.

Itinerary
Giza PyramidsYour private Egyptologist guide greets you as you step off the ship at Alexandria Port, and a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle whisks you toward Cairo along the desert highway, roughly a three-hour drive. Your first stop is the Giza Plateau, where the Great Pyramid of Khufu, built more than 4,500 years ago, rises against the sky as the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. On this private guided tour you'll circle all three pyramids, pause at a panoramic viewpoint ideal for photographs, and stand before the enigmatic Great Sphinx with its lion's body and pharaoh's face. Your guide brings the pharaohs, pyramid-building techniques and burial rituals vividly to life. After a relaxed lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant, you'll transfer to your Cairo hotel to unwind, leaving tomorrow free for the city's treasures.
- Giza Pyramids — The three great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure on the Giza Plateau, the only surviving wonder of the ancient world.
- Great Sphinx — The colossal limestone guardian with a lion's body and a pharaoh's head, carved during the reign of Khafre.
Khan el-Khalili BazaarAfter breakfast at your hotel, your private guided tour resumes at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to the world's greatest collection of pharaonic treasures, including the dazzling golden mask of Tutankhamun and halls of mummies, statues and papyri. Next you'll ascend to the Salah El-Din Citadel, the medieval fortress crowning Cairo, and step inside the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali for sweeping views across the minarets and rooftops of the capital. A savory Egyptian lunch follows, and then you'll wander the atmospheric lanes of Khan el-Khalili, Cairo's centuries-old bazaar, where the scent of spices mingles with stalls of silver, brass, perfume and handmade souvenirs, perfect for last-minute treasures. As the day winds down, your driver takes the coastal road to Port Said, delivering you back to your ship in good time for departure.
- Egyptian Museum — The historic museum on Tahrir Square housing Tutankhamun's golden treasures and thousands of pharaonic artifacts.
- Salah El-Din Citadel — The medieval hilltop fortress crowned by the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali, offering panoramic views over Cairo.
- Khan el-Khalili — Cairo's famous centuries-old bazaar, a warren of lanes filled with spices, jewelry, brass and handcrafted souvenirs.
