• Port Said - Upon arrival at the cruise docking area, the guide and manager will be waiting with a sign displaying your name, making them easy to spot. You will then proceed to your vehicle to begin the tour. The guide will discuss not only the history of ancient Egypt but also modern Egyptian life, religion, politics, and various aspects of life in the country. The journey to Cairo from Port Said takes approximately 3 hours.
• Pyramids of Giza - After traveling from Port Said, you will arrive at the Giza Plateau, standing at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, composed of 2.3 million stone blocks erected 4,500 years ago, and the last remaining ancient wonder. Your Egyptologist will guide you to a panoramic viewpoint where all three pyramids align and then to the Great Sphinx. Optional activities include entering the Great Pyramid ($11 USD per person) and a camel ride (approximately $15 USD). The tour continues to the older pyramids, often missed by cruise visitors.
• Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - At Saqqara, you will stand before the Step Pyramid of Djoser, featuring six stone tiers and dating back roughly 4,700 years, recognized as the world’s first large stone building and the prototype for the structures at Giza. Designed by the architect Imhotep, it signifies the Egyptians’ initial monumental stone construction. The guide will lead you through the surrounding complex of courtyards and colonnades. With fewer visitors than Giza, the desert here offers a serene and open atmosphere.
• Pyramids of Dahshour - The tour concludes at Dahshur with two pyramids built by Sneferu, Khufu’s father, showcasing the evolution of pyramid construction. The Bent Pyramid alters its angle midway, as builders realized the slope was too steep, while the Red Pyramid beside it is the first true smooth-sided pyramid in history. Visitors can typically descend the narrow passage into the Red Pyramid’s chamber at no additional cost. With minimal crowds, it is just you and the desert before the return drive to Port Said.
