From Alexandria Port: National Museum of Egyptian Civilization & Egyptian Museum Tour
Two world-class museums, five thousand years of history, one unforgettable day in Cairo.
This Alexandria Port shore excursion to Cairo's top museums is designed for cruise passengers who want to make every hour count, combining two of the most significant museum collections in the world under the guidance of a certified Egyptologist.
From the port of Alexandria, a private air-conditioned vehicle whisks you to Cairo for a structured, deeply informative visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and the Egyptian Museum. Your private tour leader handles all logistics so you can focus on what matters: the artifacts, the stories, and the history they carry.
A traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant provides a natural pause between museum visits, letting you absorb the morning's highlights before diving into the Pharaonic treasures of Tahrir Square. You return to Alexandria Port in the evening, well before your cruise continues.
