Excursion Itinerary

Day 1: Tour of the Pyramids and Alexandria Port
When your cruise ship docks at Alexandria Port, a TheTripBooking representative will meet you near the departure door and hold a sign with your name on it. Following that, you will travel to Cairo in an air-conditioned vehicle for around three hours, stopping if necessary for a break. Enjoy a visit to the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus as you begin your journey in Cairo. Next, continue to the Great Sphinx, a pharaoh's head with a lion's body from the era of Chephren; the tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which is a part of the Chephren Pyramid. Proceed to explore the oldest significant stone construction in the world, the Step Pyramids of Zoser. For King Djoser, it was constructed during the 3rd Dynasty, or roughly 2630 BC. We will have lunch at a neighbourhood restaurant in Cairo. Spend the night in Cairo.

Day 2: Salah Din Citadel / Egyptian Museum
After breakfast at your hotel, your tour guide will take you to Salah el Din Citadel, the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali. Yousif Boushnaq, a Turkish architect, travelled specifically from Istanbul to create this magnificent mosque for the 45-year ruler of Egypt, Mohamed Ali (1805–1849).
After lunch at a neighborhood restaurant in Cairo, you'll visit the Egyptian Museum, which houses items dating back to the Pharaonic era. The museum features an exceptional collection of artworks spanning five thousand years, regarded as the world's greatest and most valuable collection of Egyptian artifacts. There are more than 250,000 authentic objects on display, including a display devoted to Tutankhamun's collection of jewels, gold, and other valuables that were kept inside his tomb for more than 3,500 years before being found during an excavation of his tomb in the 1920s. If you have enough time, continue going to Islamic Cairo and see the old bazaar known as Khan El Khalil Bazaar. Proceed back to Alexandria Port in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Return to your cruise ship.
