Make the most of a call at Alexandria Port with a private day trip to the monuments and museums of Greater Cairo. After meeting your representative beside the cruise ship, travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Giza Plateau. Walk through the pyramid complex with an Egyptologist guide, stand beneath the Great Pyramid of Khufu, view the Great Sphinx and learn about ancient funerary practices at the Valley Temple. Following lunch at a local restaurant, continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum for a modern presentation of Egypt’s archaeological heritage. The day also includes the Egyptian Museum in central Cairo, where collections spanning thousands of years provide another perspective on the country’s past. At the end of the guided program, return directly to Alexandria Port. Private transportation, entrance tickets, lunch, bottled water and port pickup are included for a straightforward shore excursion timed around the day ashore.
