Giza Pyramids & Saqqara Private Tour from Alexandria Port
Giza Pyramids & Saqqara Private Tour from Alexandria Port
Giza Pyramids & Saqqara Private Tour from Alexandria Port
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
Your ship docks at Alexandria and the pyramids are a drive away, about 2.5 hours south to Giza, where the only surviving wonder of the ancient world waits.
This private tour for cruise passengers covers two chapters of pyramid building in one day. At Giza you stand beneath the Great Pyramid of Khufu, 2.3 million blocks and 4,500 years old, and meet the Sphinx. At Saqqara you see where it all began, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest large stone building on earth at around 4,700 years. Your Egyptologist connects the two so the leap in engineering makes sense.
Lunch in Cairo and door-to-door port transfers are included, and you are back aboard in good time.
Ideal for Alexandria cruise guests who want the pyramids done right in a single day.
Itinerary
Alexandria
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeYour guide and manager will be waiting for you outside the Cruise docking spot. They will be holding a sign showing your name. It will be quite easy for you to identify them. Then you will proceed to your vehicle and start your tour.Pyramids of Giza
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedAfter the drive south from Alexandria, you step onto the Giza Plateau and stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, 2.3 million stone blocks that have held for 4,500 years. Your Egyptologist walks you to the panoramic viewpoint where all three pyramids align and down to the Great Sphinx, carved from a single limestone ridge. Time is focused given the cruise clock, but you get the real story, not a rushed photo stop. Optional: enter the Great Pyramid ($11 USD per person), camel ride (about $15 USD).Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids
1 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedA short transfer brings you to Saqqara, the vast necropolis of ancient Memphis, where the Step Pyramid of Djoser rises in six receding tiers. Built around 4,700 years ago by the architect Imhotep, it is the oldest large stone structure ever raised and the prototype for everything at Giza. Your guide points out how the design steps upward, an idea being tested in stone for the first time. With far fewer visitors than Giza, it is a calmer stop before the drive back to Alexandria.
