Port Said
About
Your ship docks at Port Said, and this private day goes deep into pyramids, all three generations of them, not just Giza.
After the drive to Cairo you stand beneath the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, then move to Saqqara for the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest large stone building on earth at around 4,700 years, and on to Dahshur for the Red and Bent Pyramids, the trial runs that made Giza possible. Your Egyptologist connects them so you watch the design evolve across a single day.
It is a full 10-to-12-hour day with real driving, run privately and timed to your ship. Lunch at a local restaurant is included.
Ideal for cruise guests who want the whole pyramid story and far fewer crowds...

Itinerary
1
Port Said
your 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. your guide will talk to you not only about history of ancient Egypt, but also about modern Egypt, Life, religion, politics and all aspects of Life in the country. it takes 3 hours approx. to reach Cairo from port said.
2 hours
2
Pyramids of Giza
After the drive from Port Said, you reach the Giza Plateau and stand at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, 2.3 million stone blocks raised 4,500 years ago and the last ancient wonder standing. Your Egyptologist walks you to the panoramic viewpoint where all three pyramids align and down to the Great Sphinx. Optional: enter the Great Pyramid ($11 USD per person), camel ride (about $15 USD). Then on toward the older pyramids most cruise visitors never reach.

Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids
At Saqqara you stand before the Step Pyramid of Djoser, six stone tiers and roughly 4,700 years old, the world's first large stone building and the prototype for everything at Giza. Built by the architect Imhotep, it marks the moment Egyptians first stacked stone into something monumental. Your guide walks you through the surrounding complex of courtyards and colonnades. With far fewer visitors than Giza, the desert here feels open and quiet.
1 hour

Pyramids of Dahshour
You finish at Dahshur with two pyramids of Sneferu, Khufu's father, that show the method being figured out. The Bent Pyramid changes its angle partway up, where builders realized the slope was too steep, and the Red Pyramid beside it is the first true smooth-sided pyramid in history. You can usually descend the narrow passage into the Red Pyramid's chamber at no extra charge. Almost no crowds reach here, so it is just you and the desert before the drive back to Port Said.
