Your Egyptologist guide will meet you at your cruise ship exit door at Alexandria Port. You will then drive to Cairo (approximately a 3-hour drive) in an air-conditioned vehicle. Once you arrive in Cairo, your Egyptologist guide will provide a fascinating introduction to each of the three pyramids: Cheops, Khafre, and Menakaure. The tour includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the Pyramids of Chephren. After visiting the pyramids, you will continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background. You will also have free time to enter one of the burial chambers of the pyramids (optional, for an additional cost); however, your guide is not permitted to enter with you to avoid overcrowding. Here you may also go on a camel ride in the pyramids area (optional, for an additional cost). A short drive to the city side of the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx, for thousands of years the enigmatic symbol of Egypt! Also in Giza, you may visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional, for an additional cost), home to the remarkably well-preserved funerary boat of Khufu. After lunch, you will visit the
Grand Egyptian Museum, one of the most modern and impressive museums in the world, showcasing a vast collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities.
