Your ship docks in Alexandria, but the pyramids are in Cairo, about 2.5 hours inland. This overnight tour gives you two unhurried days in the capital instead of one exhausting dash. Day one takes you to the Giza Plateau for the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple, then to the Egyptian Museum, with an overnight stay at a Cairo hotel. Day two moves through Islamic Cairo: the Citadel of Saladin, the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and the lanes of the old city, before the drive back to your ship. Your private guide and driver shape both days around your sailing time. Two days, one night, and real time at each site rather than a race against the clock. Ideal for cruise guests who want Cairo properly, not squeezed into a single shore day.

    Fantastic tour!!!

    Best tour ever. Saw everything I wanted to see. The pyramids, Sphinx, the Egyptian museum, the citadel, Mohammed Ali mosque. Spent the night at the luxurious Barcela Cairo Pyramids hotel. Our guide aka Ahmet Eygpt Guide took us to the famous Koshari Abou Tarek restaurant for the best koshari in Egypt. All on all a great experience ca. Ot thank Ahmet and Egypt Day Tours enough. ( my wife insists Ahmet looks like John Belushi.)

    Fantastic!

    Our guide and driver were both amazing! Driving downtown Cairo can be scary, lol. But our driver maneuvered it like a pro. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative along the way and at every stop. He even took us to a couple places not listed that he thought might interest us. So glad we did this private tour, I can't imagine having done Cairo with a large bus tour from the cruise ship.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your private Cairo day tour from Alexandria Port with our expert guide and driver. At Egypt Day Tours, we’re dedicated to offering safe, flexible, and unforgettable Egypt tours and excursions that let you explore the best of Cairo and beyond. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next Egypt adventure!

    2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.

    How much does 2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port cost?

    +

    Prices start at $590 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alexandria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Alexandria is not rushed.

    Is 2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alexandria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Alexandria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Alexandria and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Alexandria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Alexandria?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Alexandria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alexandria Full Day Tour, Alexandria Full Day Trip, All inclusive private Giza pyramids,Sphinx & highlights of Cairo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Alexandria?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Alexandria?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Day Cairo and Giza Overnight from Alexandria Port?

    +

    Included: Air-conditioned Private Vehicle Alexandria port / Cairo / Alexandria port; All service charges & taxes; 2 Lunch at local restaurant; 1 night accommodation in 4 star Hotel in Cairo; and 2 Day tour in Cairo as mentioned in the program. Not included: Egypt entry visa; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
