Day tour from Alexandria cruise terminal

Picked up from Alexandria cruise terminal by our driver. He drove us safely into Cairo to meet our guide in Giza.We visited Giza pyramids, museum and Khan el-Khalili bazaar. Amir was very knowledgeable. My husband and myself enjoyed our private tour with locals and local restaurant with lunch. We were safely driven back to cruise terminal at the end of the day.

Amir and Salah - the best Cairo guide team in town

We just did the Cairo tour w Mummies Tour Co. . From the minute we booked this through Viator, the company was immediately communicative. They accommodated our request for Amir as our guide. We heard so many good things about him. Amir exceeded our expectations. Both him and our driver, Salah, communicated with us the night before our tour through WhatsApp. Salah arrived early and let us know where he was to meet him just outside the port. He drove (through chaotic traffic) with precision to meet Amir in Giza. Amir is wonderful and an absolute delight to spend the day with. Since it was just two of us, he catered to our schedule perfectly. We saw everything we wanted to see. He was very informative giving us a great history lesson around the pyramids and sphinx. He guided us towards the best of Cairo. Explained when to avoid certain situations, how to tip, etc. As a native, he is very informed. He took us to the papyrus paper store and to a great restaurant for a shawarma lunch. We cannot thank him enough for making this a very easy going and memorable day in Cairo. He was the perfect guide. And thank you to Salah - the best expert driver Egypt has to offer! Thank you!!!!

My tour experience was...

My tour experience was great, the drive there was peaceful and yet intriguing to see the cities daily operations. The tour guide was very nice. He was very knowledgeable on the history and gave great insight to the history of the pyramids. The excursion is just as it says in the description.

Pyramids and Shawarmas

We can recommend Amir and Sala of Mummies Tour Co. Here's why--while waiting for our driver in front of our cruise ship, Amir called to ask to go to a different gate and then we would find our driver, Salah. He asked what we were wearing so that when we passed thru the gate into a very busy part of Alexandria Salah would spot us. He walked us to his car and off we went for a 2.5hr drive to Cairo's Giza. Salah spoke little English but boy could he drive expertly and quietly through the busy traffic! Amir was waiting for us. A kind patient man with us two mid to late 70's people. He was careful to point out steps, uneven footing, etc. His knowledge of the pyramids and the sphinx was satisfying and sometimes humorous. He was very happy taking fun photos of us with the pyramids. He took us to an art store to watch papyrus get made. After this we went to a restaurant in Cairo famous for its Shawarmas. They were outstanding! Plus, we enjoyed our social visit with these 2 fellows.

Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port cost?

+

Prices start at $300 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 Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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 Day Tour to Cairo 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 Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port?

+

Around 9 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Day Tour to Cairo 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 Half Day Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, Alexandria Full Day Tour, 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.
