A representative from Evaya Getaways Travel will pick you up from Alexandria Port at the cruise exit door, holding a sign with your name. Enjoy a private shore excursion and day trip from Alexandria to Cairo, approximately a 3-hour drive in a luxurious air-conditioned vehicle, with a rest stop if needed.
Begin your adventure with panoramic views of the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Then, proceed to the Great Sphinx, a striking statue featuring the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, dating back to the time of Chephren. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple associated with the Pyramids of Chephren.
Lunch will be served at a local restaurant before continuing to Sakkara, Egypt's oldest ancient cemetery. Here, you'll explore the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, the world's first monumental stone building, designed by the engineer Imhotep. You'll also see one of the impressive Mastabas (burial chambers) of either Ptah Hotep, Idut, or Mereruca.
Before returning to Alexandria, you’ll stop at a Papyrus Institute, where you can shop for souvenirs from Cairo and Egypt.
