I was looking for a tour from Alexandria port as I was staying nearby, and I'm so glad I found this one! Our guide was great and I learned so much from him. I loved seeing the Giza pyramid and learning about its construction. I also enjoyed the Egyptian Museum. Seeing the royal mummies was fascinating. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a smooth trip with real insight into ancient Egyptian history!
This was a great trip! Easy to follow and well-timed. Walking around the pyramids was my favorite part. I couldn’t believe how big they were. Seeing the Great Sphinx was also interesting, as our guide shared a lot of facts I had never heard before. Coming from a shore excursion earlier, this tour felt more personal and informative. I loved the stops for photos and the chance to ask questions. I’d suggest it to anyone wanting to visit Cairo!

JOURNEY TO CAIRO
Your day trip from Alexandria to Pyramids starts with your guide meeting you at the dock. After quick introductions, you’ll head out with your guide. Hear stories about Egypt’s history along the way. You will learn about ancient Egypt, from the Old Kingdom to the New Kingdom. Your first stop will be the Pyramids of Giza. They are the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. The guide will explain how they were built over 4,500 years ago for Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaura. Along the way, your guide will point out other famous landmarks in Cairo that you can snap photos of.
EXPLORE THE PYRAMIDS AND SPHINX
Once you arrive, your first stop is the Great Pyramids. You will walk around Khufu’s pyramid, the largest of the three, which was originally 481 feet (147 meters) tall. Next, you will see Khafre’s pyramid and the smaller Menkaura pyramid. Your guide will share how the pyramids were built using millions of limestone blocks. Then, you will visit the Valley Temple near the Great Sphinx. The Sphinx was carved around 2500 BC during Khafre’s reign. Here, the guide will talk about its history, lion body, and pharaoh head. They will also explain the purpose of the mortuary temples. While there, you can also see the smaller Queen’s Pyramids in the distance.
EGYPTIAN MUSEUM VISIT AND RETURN
After the pyramids, the tour continues to the Egyptian Museum, home to over 120,000 artifacts. You will see royal mummies, statues, and treasures from Tanis. The guide will explain the importance of these items and the lives of pharaohs. If you opt to visit the bazaar, you will board an air-conditioned vehicle and be taken there. Shop for souvenirs, crafts, local foods, and traditional Egyptian items. If time allows, there may be short photo stops before returning to Alexandria Port. Finally, you will return to the port, arriving about two hours before your ship's departure.

The Sphinx’s missing nose
The Great Sphinx of Giza has stood for over 4,500 years, but one of its most famous features is missing: its nose. Carved around 2500 BC during Pharaoh Khafre’s reign, the Sphinx combines a lion’s body with a pharaoh’s head. Historians debate how the nose disappeared. Some say it was damaged by cannon fire in later centuries, while others believe a 14th-century Sufi destroyed it. Despite this, the Sphinx remains a symbol of ancient power and mystery. Some legends also suggest hidden tunnels beneath it. Explorers have long wondered what these passages were used for, adding to the Sphinx’s mystery.
