Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Shore Excursion from Alexandria Port

Your guide meets you at Alexandria Port for the drive to Giza, and returns you there at the end of the day.

• Closed walking shoes
• A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen
• Small notes for tips

Phone and camera photography is free across the open sites; a permit is sometimes required inside ticketed areas.

The Giza plateau is reachable by vehicle at every viewpoint, and the museum is fully paved and air-conditioned.

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. No prepayment is taken to reserve the date — you settle with your guide on the day.

The drive takes approximately 3 hours each way (around 220 km / 136 miles) under normal traffic conditions via the Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road.

Yes, absolutely. We guarantee to have you back at the Alexandria Port cruise terminal at least 1 hour before your ship's scheduled all-aboard time. We closely monitor traffic conditions and schedule your day strictly around your ship's arrival and departure times.

Your private tour guide and driver will be waiting for you inside the cruise port terminal exit, holding a personalized sign with your name on it as soon as you step off the ship.

• If you are on an organized shore excursion: Cruise passengers staying with an organized guided tour are generally covered under Egypt's shore excursion visa exemption/landing pass protocol, processed onboard by your cruise line upon arrival.  
• If exploring independently or required by your cruise line: Most eligible passport holders (US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia) can obtain an e-Visa online in advance ($25 USD) or a Visa on Arrival handled directly onboard by your cruise ship or at the port control ($25–$30 USD charged to your shipboard account depending on the line).

(Note: Always bring your original passport off the ship, as port authorities check it upon exit and re-entry).
