Alexandria Port offers an exceptional range of excursions to suit every interest. Options include a day trip or two-day tour to Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza, a guided exploration of Alexandria's own remarkable Greco-Roman landmarks, wreck diving among ancient relics on the seabed, visits to World War II cemeteries and battlefields, and a Nile dinner cruise with entertainment. Few cruise ports in the world open the door to such a diverse range of experiences.
Yes — and it is one of the most iconic shore excursions available anywhere in the Mediterranean. A day trip from Alexandria Port takes you directly to the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, with a professional Egyptologist guide and private transport throughout. The Khan El Khalili Bazaar is also included on the itinerary, cruise schedule permitting. For a more comprehensive experience, a two-day tour with an overnight stay in Cairo is also available.
The one-day tour covers the essential highlights — the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar — in a single action-packed day. The two-day tour allows for a far more immersive experience, adding the Citadel of Saladin, Coptic Cairo, and other significant sites that simply cannot be squeezed into a single day. For those with a genuine passion for ancient Egypt, the two-day option is strongly recommended.
Absolutely. Alexandria is one of the ancient world's most legendary cities — founded by Alexander the Great, home to Cleopatra, and once the site of the greatest library in history. A guided shore excursion through its Greco-Roman archaeological sites, monuments, and historic waterfront reveals a city of extraordinary depth and character, offering a fascinating contrast to the pharaonic wonders found elsewhere in Egypt.
Alexandria's shore excursion covers the city's most significant ancient landmarks, including the Roman amphitheatre, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, and the historic Montazah Palace grounds. Together these sites paint a vivid picture of a city that once stood at the crossroads of the ancient world and shaped the course of Western civilisation.
Yes. The Western Desert around Alexandria was the theatre of some of the Second World War's most significant campaigns. Shore excursions to El Alamein cover the battlefield, war cemeteries, and dedicated museums that commemorate the fighting that took place here in 1942 — a moving and historically significant experience particularly meaningful for British cruise passengers given the prominent role of Commonwealth forces in the North Africa campaign.
Yes. A Nile dinner cruise offers a memorable evening experience combining a scenic sailing on the Nile with a generous dinner, live music, belly dancing, and Egyptian folklore entertainment. It is a wonderful way to experience Cairo from a different perspective and makes for a relaxed and enjoyable conclusion to a day of sightseeing.
Cairo is approximately two and a half to three hours from Alexandria by road. Most day excursions depart early in the morning to maximise time at the sites and ensure a comfortable return to the port ahead of the ship's departure. Private air-conditioned vehicles are used throughout, making the journey as comfortable as possible.
A full day is required for the Cairo day trip from Alexandria, typically spanning around twelve hours including travel time. The Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum alone justify every minute of the journey. Those wishing to explore Cairo more thoroughly without the time pressure of a single day will find the two-day overnight tour a far more satisfying experience.
Lightweight, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes are essential for all sightseeing tours. Modest dress covering shoulders and knees is required at religious sites and museums. High-factor sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are strongly advisable year-round. For diving excursions, swimwear and a towel are recommended, with all necessary diving equipment provided.
