From Port Said: Giza Pyramid Tour with Lunch Cruise on the Nile
Step ashore into millennia of history — ancient monuments, legendary statues, and a serene Nile lunch await.
This Port Said Giza Pyramid tour takes you on a full-day journey from your cruise ship directly to the most celebrated archaeological landmarks in Egypt, combining a visit to the Great Pyramids complex with a relaxing lunch cruise along the Nile River.
Departing from Port Said, you will travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle across the Egyptian landscape to reach Cairo. The approximately three-hour drive sets the stage for an immersive encounter with monuments that have stood for more than four thousand years.
Beyond the Pyramids, you will stand before the Great Sphinx and explore the Valley Temple of Khafre, one of the best-preserved structures from the Fourth Dynasty. The day concludes with a two-hour Nile lunch cruise gliding past Cairo's waterfront before a final stop at a Papyrus Institute for souvenir shopping.
