Port Said Shore Excursion to Cairo

Cairo Day Tour From Port Said

Explore the wonders of Egypt through our exclusive Port Said shore excursions. Your Cairo shore excursion from Port Said begins by meeting your tour guide at Port Said. Then, take a transfer to Cairo. Once you arrive in Cairo, you will commence your tour to the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.

Giza Pyramids from Port Said

Giza Plateau, the site of the necropolis of the 4th Dynasty. It is located just outside of the outskirts of Cairo on the esplanade known as the Giza Plateau, the Great Pyramids of Giza are the must-see Ancient Egyptian landmark. Known as Khufu’s Pyramid, it is the greatest pyramid of the complex: a truly overwhelming sight.

Being one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, it is the only one still standing to this day! When gazing at this colossal structure, there’s no way to escape the feeling of being dwarfed. The two smaller – but still huge – pyramids at Giza are those of Khafre and Menkaure. A few steps to the east you will notice three small (20 m high) piles of rubble: the queens’ pyramids, and tombs of Khufu’s wives and sisters. A causeway slopes down to the giant Sphinx. The Sphinx is a mythical creature with the head of a human, a Falcon, a Cat, or a Sheep, and the body of a lion with the wings of an Eagle. In Greek tradition, the Sphinx has the head of a woman, the haunches of a Lion, and the wings of a bird.

Explore the treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum

Enjoy your lunch at a local restaurant, then your Port Said shore excursion to Cairo continues to the Grand Egyptian Museum. The GEM Museum houses the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities in the world. The museum displays an extensive collection spanning from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Era. This museum is home to some of the world’s most magnificent ancient masterpieces. An extensive collection of papyri, sarcophagi, and jewelry, among other objects, completes this uniquely expansive museum. Then, conclude your Cairo day tour from Port Said with a transfer back to your cruise ship at Port Said.
