Egypt Shore Excursions
Private, perfectly-timed tours from Egypt's four cruise gateways — Safaga, Sokhna, Port Said and Alexandria — straight to the Pyramids, Luxor and beyond, and back to your ship on time.
Shore excursions for cruises stopping in Egypt
When your cruise drops anchor on Egypt's coast, the clock starts — and a well-planned shore excursion is the difference between glimpsing the country and truly seeing it. Travel Joy runs private, English-guided day trips from all four of Egypt's cruise gateways: Safaga and Sokhna on the Red Sea, and Port Said and Alexandria on the Mediterranean.
Every itinerary is timed around your ship's arrival and all-aboard, with private air-conditioned transport, skip-the-line entry where available, and a licensed Egyptologist who knows exactly how to make a port day count. Choose your port below to see the tours that fit your stopover.
