From Alexandria Port: Pyramids, Sakkara & Camel Ride Private Tour
A private day journey through ancient Egypt's most iconic landmarks, departing directly from your cruise ship.
This Alexandria Port to Cairo private tour takes you from the cruise terminal straight to the heart of ancient Egypt, covering the Giza Pyramids Complex, the Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Sakkara in a single full day.
A dedicated Egyptologist accompanies you throughout, providing historical context and expert commentary at each site. The private format means the pace adapts to your interests, not a group schedule.
Beyond the monuments, the tour includes a 30-minute camel ride across the desert landscape near Sakkara and an authentic Egyptian lunch, offering a well-rounded experience of both culture and history before your return to the port.

Itinerary
Your Sun Pyramids Tours representative meets you at the cruise exit door, holding a sign with your name. Transfer to Cairo begins in a private air-conditioned vehicle, approximately 3 hours each way.
