Pickup from Safaga Port
As soon as your cruise ship docks, your private, English-speaking Egyptologist guide will be waiting for you at the Safaga Port terminal. You will hop into a modern, air-conditioned vehicle for a smooth and comfortable drive (approximately 1.5 to 2 hours) towards Cairo.
Exploring the Giza Pyramids
Arrive at the Giza Plateau, the site of the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Your guide will provide a captivating historical overview as you stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of King Khufu. You will also see the impressive pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. You will have plenty of time to walk around, take photos, and even venture inside one of the pyramids (tickets for entering the pyramids are available on-site at an extra cost).
Panoramic Viewpoint & Camel Ride (Optional)
Next, your driver will take you to the high panoramic viewpoint of the plateau. This is the absolute best spot for photography, allowing you to capture all three magnificent pyramids in a single frame. This is also the perfect location if you wish to experience an optional camel ride across the desert sands.
The Valley Temple & Great Sphinx
Move down the plateau to visit the Valley Temple of King Khafre, where the mummification process of the pharaoh took place. Right next to it sits the legendary Great Sphinx, the massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, standing guard over the ancient necropolis.
Return to Safaga Port
After an awe-inspiring visit to Egypt’s most famous monuments, you will return to your vehicle for the drive back to Safaga Port. We guarantee you will be dropped off at the terminal with ample time before your ship departs.
