Wear comfortable shoes for walking on sand and uneven ground at the Giza Plateau, and bring sun protection; the sightseeing happens outdoors with little shade. Entering the Great Pyramid itself is optional and paid separately on-site (not included in this tour), and it isn't recommended if you have claustrophobia or a heart or respiratory condition, since the interior passages are narrow, hot, and require some crouching.
This is a full-day tour, running about 12–13 hours port to port, with roughly 3 hours of driving each way between Alexandria and Cairo. Lunch is served on board the Nile cruise. Prices shown apply outside high seasons (Christmas, New Year, and Egyptian Easter).
