Private shore excursions from Port Said, each with a licensed Egyptologist guide and your own car and driver. Islamic and Coptic Cairo starts at $90, the Pyramids with Saqqara and Dahshur at $120, and overnight tours at $280 per person.
Port Said shore excursions are private day trips from the cruise port at the Mediterranean entrance to the Suez Canal. Cairo and the Giza Pyramids are about 220 km away, three hours by road, so most guests spend a 12-hour day at the Pyramids with Saqqara, Dahshur or a Nile lunch cruise. If your ship stays overnight, you can sleep in Cairo and see more.
Your guide waits at the cruise exit with your name on a sign, and the car is parked close by.

Everything was planned and executed from arrival to departure.
An amazing experience, only made better by our fantastic guide Manal. She really helped us understand the true history of Egypt.
I sent an outline of my plans. Soon I received a ready-made plan that fully met our expectations.
About 220 km. The drive takes roughly three hours each way, so a Pyramids excursion from Port Said takes about 12 hours and starts at $120 per person.
Yes. A full day covers the Pyramids and the Sphinx plus one more stop: Saqqara and Dahshur, a Nile lunch cruise, or Islamic and Coptic Cairo. To see more than that, choose an overnight tour.
Both work equally well. The drive to Giza is about three hours from either port, and the excursions are the same. If your cruise calls at both, use the longer port day for the Pyramids.
Take an overnight tour. You see the Pyramids on the first day, sleep in a Cairo hotel, and visit the museums and old Cairo, or Alexandria, on the second. Overnight tours start at $280.
Yes. Every excursion is private, so your guide sets the pace for children, adds rest stops and keeps the day flexible.
Yes. We plan every excursion to have you back at the port at least two hours before departure, and a backup vehicle stays on standby on the long routes. If we ever miss that, Egypt Day Tours takes full responsibility and pays for your hotel and your flight to the ship’s next port of call.
No separate visa is needed. Your cruise line provides the Egypt visa or landing permit for every passenger, so you simply step off the ship and meet your guide.
