Cairo & Pyramids Day Trip from Port Sokhna

This full-day shore excursion takes cruise passengers from Port Sokhna to Cairo to see the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum, with a possible stop at the Khan el-Khalili bazaar if time allows.

After being met at the port exit, the group is driven roughly 1.5 hours inland to the Giza Plateau to view the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, followed by the Great Sphinx and the nearby Valley Temple of Khafre. The tour then continues to the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to more than 250,000 artifacts spanning about 5,000 years of history, including pieces connected to Tutankhamun.

Depending on the pace of the day, the itinerary may also fit in a visit to Khan el-Khalili, Cairo's historic bazaar, before the drive back to the port.

A private English-speaking guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle accompany the group the whole way, and the price covers entrance fees to the listed sites, lunch at a local restaurant, bottled water, and all taxes and service charges; tipping and any extras outside the itinerary are additional.

Because pickup and return are arranged directly at Port Sokhna and the tour runs daily to match cruise schedules, it is built specifically for passengers in port for the day who want to fit the Giza pyramids and the national museum's collection into a single guided outing.
