Egypt, with its rich history and breathtaking sites, offers an unforgettable experience for travelers. If you’re on the MSC Lirica and docking at Alexandria or Port Said, you’re in for a treat. Here's what you can expect during your shore excursions in these historical locations. As many cruise passengers prefer a full-day tour, we at "Your Egypt Tours" customize tour itineraries to allow you to maximize your time, visiting key attractions such as the Pyramids, Old Cairo, and the Cairo Museum all in one go.
One of the most popular shore excursions from Port Said is a day trip to Cairo. In just a few hours, you’ll find yourself at the doorstep of some of the world’s most iconic landmarks. A visit to Egypt would only be complete with seeing the Pyramids of Giza. These ancient wonders, along with the Sphinx, offer breathtaking views and a step back in time to the era of the pharaohs.
With "Your Egypt Tours," you will have private tours that allow you to uncover the hidden gems of Egypt. Whether you're delving into Alexandria's ancient past or exploring Port Said's modern marvels, these excursions will surely be a highlight of your trip.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
