This Cairo tour from Safaga Port flies cruise passengers to Cairo for the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx and one of Cairo’s great museums in a single day. Your guide takes you from the ship to the airport for the short flight to Cairo, where you see the Pyramids and either the Grand Egyptian Museum or the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, with lunch included, from $450 per person, including the return flights.
Cairo is more than 500 km from Safaga, too far to drive there and back in one port day. Flying turns a 12-hour round trip by road into about an hour each way in the air, so you can see the Pyramids on a single port call. We time the return flight around your ship’s all-aboard time.
We guarantee you will be back at Safaga Port at least 2 hours before your ship departs. 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, so you can rejoin your cruise.
Luxor is closer and needs no flight: see the Luxor day tour from Safaga. See all our Safaga shore excursions.
