Meeting and pickup
Your Private Overnight Trip to Cairo begins with a warm welcome at Alexandria Port. Your professional driver—awaiting you right at the cruise terminal—will hold a personalized placard and assist with your luggage before you settle into a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Expect a scenic ~3‑hour journey across Egypt’s Nile Delta, with a quick comfort stop en route. We recommend bringing a light scarf or shawl for the desert breeze at Giza, and using the onboard bottled water to stay hydrated (it’s provided throughout your adventure). As you head inland, you’ll transition from coastal calm to the buzz of Cairo—an ideal introduction to the tapestry of urban and ancient Egypt.
