A wonderful experience at Egypt We had an absolutely fantastic trip thanks to EgyptaTours. From being met at the plane in Egypt, to th4e excellent guides and drivers, our trip was outstanding. Mona took us around Cairo and was willing to answer all of our many questions concerning past and present history. The local meals we enjoyed for our lunches were exactly what we hoped for. If you want to see the highlights of Egypt and only have one week you cannot do any better than EgyptaTours!

Family Tour We had Had a great tour with mona and Abdul to the pyramids and sphinx as well as a flexible tour to see some Egyptian historical sites. they guided us everywhere and was very detailed and knowledgeable in his explanations. We also had free time to roam as well and take some photos. It was nice to have an affordable private tour instead of navigating with a large group. Would recommend, thanks EgyptaTours!

Tour Review I planned a trip for my husband and I to come to Egypt for 2 weeks andI wanted to see as much as possible while we were here. I found EgyptaTours and was very pleased with the itinerary options they offered. My agent was super helpful in the planning process and the accommodations once we arrived to Egypt were OUTSTANDING. Our guides were fabulous, communicative, highly knowledgeable, and super friendly. They even allowed us to alter our itenerary in Egypt to allow us time to see some new things that we didn't know about while planning the trip! We had a wonderful experience and i recommend this company to anyone who wants to see Egypt and learn about the amazing history and culture.

Exceptional Service Highly Recommended Nile Cruise Booking Trying to organise a Nile Cruise can be challenging with so many options and so many different cruise companies and price points. I have recently booked a Nile Cruise with Egypta Tours and our personal tour operator Amr has been excellent, extremely responsive and stood out from all the other operators I engaged with during the research and booking process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mein Schiff 2 Excursions from Alexandria Port

Docking at Alexandria Port aboard the magnificent Mein Schiff 2 is your gateway to the ancient world. Whether you want to stand in the shadow of the Great Pyramids of Giza, explore the Mediterranean charm of Alexandria, or dive into the history of El Alamein, maximizing your time ashore is crucial. Here is everything you need to know to plan a flawless, stress-free shore excursion during your cruise stop.

For Mein Schiff 2 passengers, the most iconic choice is a full-day excursion to Cairo to see the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum. If you prefer a shorter travel day, staying in Alexandria offers incredible Greco-Roman history, while a trip to El Alamein is perfect for World War II history enthusiasts.

The journey from Alexandria Port to Cairo takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours each way via a modern, well-paved desert highway. Because of the driving distance, excursions to the Pyramids are full-day trips, typically lasting around 10 to 12 hours from port pickup to drop-off.

Absolutely. A day trip to Cairo is perfectly timed to align with your ship's docking schedule. You will have ample time to marvel at the Pyramids, take panoramic photos with the Sphinx, enjoy an authentic local lunch, and even visit a museum or the Step Pyramid of Saqqara before heading back to the port.

Booking a private shore excursion offers a vastly superior experience. Instead of waiting on a crowded 50-passenger bus, you get a dedicated Egyptologist guide, a private vehicle, and a highly flexible itinerary. This means more time enjoying the monuments, personalized attention, and the ability to travel at your own comfortable pace.

Yes. Reputable local tour operators who specialize in cruise excursions prioritize your ship’s departure time above all else. They track the Mein Schiff 2 schedule closely, utilize experienced drivers who know the fastest routes, and always include a safe time buffer to ensure you are back at the port well before the ship sets sail.

If you want to avoid the long drive to Cairo, an Alexandria city tour is a fantastic, relaxed alternative. You can explore the mysterious Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, marvel at Pompey's Pillar, visit the stunning modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and walk around the impressive Qaitbay Citadel built on the ruins of the ancient lighthouse.

Passengers arriving at Alexandria Port on a cruise ship typically require an Egyptian tourist visa to disembark for shore excursions. In most cases, the cruise line arranges a quick transit or port visa for all passengers, which is billed directly to your onboard account. It is always best to verify this with the Mein Schiff 2 guest services desk before arriving.

Yes. Given the warm climate and the multi-hour highway journey, local tour operators use modern, high-quality sedans, minivans, and small coaches. All private vehicles are heavily air-conditioned, well-maintained, and driven by licensed tourism professionals to ensure your desert crossing is completely relaxing and safe.

If the Mein Schiff 2 docks in Alexandria overnight, booking a 2-day, 1-night Cairo excursion is highly recommended. This allows you to explore the Pyramids, Memphis, and Islamic Cairo at a much more relaxed pace. You can even enjoy an evening Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids or a dinner cruise on the Nile before returning to the ship the next day.

Comfort and sun protection are key. Wear breathable, lightweight clothing made of cotton or linen, and ensure your shoulders and knees are covered if you plan to visit any religious sites. Bring sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes for the sandy and uneven ground at the Pyramids. Do not forget a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, and your cruise boarding card.
