Boat excursions from Alexandria to the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara encompass an attractive, extraordinary passage. In this expedition, get ready for a gorgeous morning departure from the docks of Alexandria, where you will board a cruise with comfort along the Nile on its way to Cairo; relish breathtaking views of the Egyptian landscape stretching toward the capital as you drift along timeless waters of the Nile. The casual cruise provides a fresh launch to road-weary travelers who deserve a soothing time soaked in the environment on route to their destination.

As you hit Cairo, your tour of ancient wonders begins at the Giza Plateau, where the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure are globally renowned.

Visit ancient tombs that still display colorful wall carvings and learn how pyramid building further evolved in time.
