2 Day Cairo and Alexandria Overnight from Alexandria Port

Your ship is in Alexandria for two days, so this overnight tour gives you the full sweep, Cairo, Giza, and Alexandria, without racing back to the port each night. Day one drives to Cairo for the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum, then an overnight stay at a Cairo hotel. Day two works through Alexandria on the way back: the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, Qaitbay Citadel on the harbor, and Pompey's Pillar, before you reboard. Your private guide and driver handle every transfer and the timing around your ship. Two days, two cities, real time at each instead of one frantic dash inland. Ideal for cruise guests with an overnight in port who want both the pharaonic and Greco-Roman sides of Egypt.

1. 1

   The Pyramids Of Giza

   2 hours

   Day 1 begins on the Giza Plateau, where you stand at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Khufu and see all three pyramids together with your private Egyptologist.

2. 2

   Great Sphinx

   Beside the pyramids you meet the Great Sphinx, the lion-bodied guardian carved from a single limestone ridge, with time for photos at the valley temple.

   The Egyptian Museum in Cairo

   2 hours

   After lunch you visit the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, its halls packed with pharaonic treasure, before an overnight stay in Cairo.

4. 4

   Catacombs Of Kom El Shoqafa

   1 hour

   Day 2 explores Alexandria on the way back to the port, starting underground at the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, a Roman tomb cut three levels into the rock.

   Citadel of Qaitbay

   45 min

   On the harbor you stop at Qaitbay Citadel, the 15th-century fortress built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria.

   Pompey's Pillar

   30 min

   A final stop at Pompey's Pillar, the towering Roman column at the ancient temple of Serapis, before the drive back to the port to reboard your ship.
