Overview

Your ship docks at Port Said, and this private day pairs the pyramids with a slower pleasure: lunch afloat on the Nile. After the drive to Cairo, about 3 hours, you stand at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, 2.3 million stone blocks and 4,500 years old, and meet the Great Sphinx. Then you board a Nile cruise boat for lunch as the city drifts past, with a music and folklore show on board. There is usually a stop at a papyrus institute to see how the ancient paper is made. Your Egyptologist is with you throughout. It is a long day with real driving either side, run privately and timed to your ship. Ideal for cruise guests who want the pyramids plus a relaxed Nile lunch rather than a museum marathon.

Pickup Information

Please share your cruise ship name and arrival/departure times when you book. Your guide will meet you at the Port Said arrivals gate with an air-conditioned vehicle. The drive to Cairo is approximately 3 hours each way, so this is a full-day shore excursion: the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx in the morning, then a Nile lunch cruise in Cairo before the return drive. We track ship arrivals in real time and ensure you return with at least 2 hours of buffer before sail-away.

After the drive from Port Said, you reach the Giza Plateau and stand beneath the Great Pyramid of Khufu, 2.3 million stone blocks raised 4,500 years ago and the only ancient wonder still standing. Your Egyptologist walks you to the panoramic viewpoint where all three pyramids line up and down to the Great Sphinx. The visit is focused around the cruise schedule, but you get the real story.
Duration: 120 mins
3. Cairo
You step aboard a Nile cruise boat for lunch as Cairo slides by from the water, a calm change of pace after the plateau. A buffet of Egyptian and international dishes is served while a live show unfolds, usually a folkloric dance and a tanoura performer spinning in a swirl of colored skirts. From the deck you see the city from its oldest highway, the river that made all of this possible. It is the easy, enjoyable heart of the day.
Duration: 120 mins
4. Cairo
On the way back you usually stop at a papyrus institute, where a short demonstration shows how the Nile reed was soaked, pressed, and dried into the world's first paper thousands of years ago. You see the process start to finish and can pick up genuine hand-painted papyrus if you like, a flat, packable souvenir. There is no pressure to buy. Then it is the long drive back to Port Said in time to reboard your ship.
