Cairo & Alexandria 2 Days Tour from Alexandria Port
Overview
Gentle guests of Travel Joy Egypt can delight in illuminating discoveries both ancient and modern through this thoughtfully crafted two-day private shore…
This 2-day shore excursion from Alexandria Port combines a day in Cairo at the Giza pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum with a return day touring Alexandria's own Greco-Roman landmarks before re-boarding.
After disembarking, the group is driven to Cairo to see the Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, with an escort sharing their history along the way, followed by a meal and the Grand Egyptian Museum's collection, including Tutankhamun's royal treasures, with an optional Nile dinner or Sound and Light Show mentioned as an add-on.
After an overnight hotel stay, day two returns to Alexandria for sites from the city's early Roman period, including the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, along with panoramic views from the Qaitbay Citadel and the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina before the transfer back to the ship.
The package includes pickup at Alexandria Port 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, lunch in both Cairo and Alexandria, bottled water on board, and all service charges and taxes; tipping and any extras outside the program are not included.
This overnight format suits cruise passengers whose ship stays in port long enough to justify combining Cairo's pyramids with Alexandria's own historic sites rather than choosing only one city for a single day.
