Your Private Cairo Day Trip from Alexandria Cruise Port begins when your private driver meets you at the Alexandria Port cruise exit for a comfortable journey to Cairo in an air-conditioned vehicle. The drive takes approximately three hours, depending on traffic, with a short stop along the way if needed. First, you go to the Giza Plateau. Here you visit the Great Pyramid of Cheops, also called Khufu. You can also see the Pyramids of Chephren, known as Khafre, and Mykerinos, or Menkaure. You will have time to look around, walk near the monuments, and take pictures. This is a chance to feel the weight of ancient Egypt.
For a memorable desert experience, you can enjoy a camel ride across the sands surrounding the pyramids. Continue to the Valley Temple of King Chephren. It is an important old site tied to royal burial traditions. Then you see the Great Sphinx. It has a lion body and a human head, carved from the stone of the plateau.
After exploring the Giza pyramids, take a break for lunch at a local restaurant and sample Egyptian cuisine before continuing your Cairo sightseeing adventure.
Next, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum. You will view a wide range of ancient items from Egypt’s past. You can also learn about the pharaohs and their world. What you see can depend on the museum hours and the order of your day plan.
If your schedule still has time, you finish at Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. It is one of Cairo’s best known old markets. You can stroll through busy streets, check out handmade goods, and look for souvenirs. The area has a lively feel, very much like old Cairo.
At the end of your Cairo Sightseeing Shore Excursion with Private Transportation, your driver takes you back to the Alexandria cruise port. Your timing is set around your cruise departure. Enough time is planned for the drive, but final timing can shift with traffic and port procedures.
Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes and sun protection (hat, sunscreen) are recommended most of the day is spent outdoors at open-air archaeological sites with little shade.
The Giza Pyramids visit covers the exterior grounds and the Giza Plateau; entry into the Great Pyramid's inner chamber is a separate, optional paid ticket and is not part of the standard tour.
This is a full-day tour, roughly 12–13 hours port to port, with about 3 hours of driving each way between Alexandria Port and Cairo. Departure and return times are set around your cruise ship's schedule at Alexandria Port.
Lunch is served at a local restaurant during the day, as noted in the Inclusions.
The visit to Khan El Khalili Bazaar at the end of the day depends on time remaining after the Grand Egyptian Museum and your ship's departure schedule.
