Cairo Overnight 2 Days Trip from Port Said

This 2-day overnight shore excursion from Port Said gives cruise passengers a full day and a half in Cairo, covering the Giza pyramids, Saqqara's Step Pyramid, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Citadel, and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar.

After being met at the port, the group is driven roughly three hours to Cairo, where the first day covers the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure at Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the nearby Valley Temple. Following an overnight hotel stay, the second day continues with the Grand Egyptian Museum's collection, including King Tutankhamun's treasures, and the walled Citadel of Saladin overlooking the city, before a stop for shopping in Cairo ahead of the drive back to Port Said.

The package includes port pickup and return, all transfers by private air-conditioned vehicle, one night of hotel accommodation, a private English-speaking guide, entrance fees to the mentioned sites, bottled water on board, lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo, and all service charges and taxes; tipping and any extras not mentioned in the itinerary are not included.

Because it spreads Cairo's major sites across two days with an overnight stay rather than compressing them into one rushed day, this tour suits cruise passengers at Port Said with enough time in port to see both the Giza pyramids and Cairo's museum and old-city sites at a more relaxed pace.
