• Port Said - Upon arrival at the cruise docking area, your guide and manager will be waiting for you with a sign displaying your name, making them easy to spot. You will then proceed to your vehicle to begin your tour. Your 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 from Port Said to Cairo takes approximately 3 hours.
• Pyramids of Giza - After traveling from Port Said, you will arrive at the Giza Plateau, where you can marvel at the Great Pyramid of Khufu, constructed with 2.3 million stone blocks 4,500 years ago, and the only ancient wonder still standing. Your Egyptologist will guide you to a panoramic viewpoint where all three pyramids align, and then down to the Great Sphinx. The visit is tailored to fit the cruise schedule, ensuring you receive the full story.
• Cairo - Enjoy lunch aboard a Nile cruise boat as you glide past Cairo, offering a serene change of pace after visiting the plateau. A buffet featuring Egyptian and international cuisine is served, accompanied by a live show, typically including a folkloric dance and a tanoura performer twirling in vibrant skirts. From the deck, you can view the city from its oldest highway, the river that made it all possible. This is the delightful heart of the day.
• Cairo - On the return journey, there is usually a stop at a papyrus institute, where a brief demonstration reveals how the Nile reed was transformed into the world’s first paper thousands of years ago. You can observe the entire process and have the opportunity to purchase genuine hand-painted papyrus as a flat, easily packable souvenir, with no obligation to buy. Then, it’s the long drive back to Port Said, ensuring you reboard your ship on time.
