Itinerary
Your guide meets you dockside holding a sign with your name as your cruise ship arrives. You are then transferred by air-conditioned vehicle toward Cairo, a drive of approximately three hours with rest stops available along the way.
Your Egyptologist introduces you to the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus on the Giza Plateau. These structures represent the peak of ancient Egyptian funerary architecture and remain among the best-preserved monuments from the Old Kingdom period.
You proceed to the Great Sphinx, a colossal limestone statue combining human and lion forms, positioned at the entrance to the Giza necropolis. Nearby, the Valley Temple of Khafre provides a ground-level perspective on ancient ritual and royal mortuary practice.
The afternoon is spent at the Grand Egyptian Museum, where highlights include the Hanging Obelisk, the Statue of King Ramses II, 10 Statues of King Senusert, the Victory Column of King Merenptah, Royal Regalia displays, and the full Tutankhamun collection. The Grand Atrium and Gift Shop round out the visit before departure.
As the day concludes, your guide accompanies you back toward the port in the air-conditioned vehicle. You are returned to your cruise ship in time for onward sailing.
