This Pyramids and lunch cruise tour from Port Said pairs the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx with lunch on a Nile cruise boat in Cairo. It is a private shore excursion with an English-speaking guide, entrance fees and an air-conditioned vehicle, from $120 per person.
Instead of a roadside restaurant, lunch is served on a boat on the Nile, a relaxed break after the morning on the Giza plateau. Port Said sits at the Mediterranean entrance of the Suez Canal, about 220 km from Giza, so the drive to the Pyramids takes around 3 hours each way. Your guide meets you outside the cruise terminal with a name sign, and we plan the day backwards from your all-aboard time.
We guarantee you will be back at Port Said 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.
