Cairo Overnight: Pyramids, GEM, Citadel & Khan el-Khalili

When one day simply isn't enough, this two-day private expedition lets you sleep in a 5-star Cairo hotel, explore the Giza plateau at golden hour, and discover Islamic Cairo's medieval soul — rejoining the ship in Port Said the next morning.

What to expect

Day one covers the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum with a private licensed Egyptologist. You then check into a luxury 5-star Cairo hotel, with dinner options at the hotel or a riverside Nile restaurant. Day two opens with the Saladin Citadel and the Muhammad Ali Mosque's breathtaking interior, followed by a stroll through Khan el-Khalili where you can commission hand-engraved cartouche jewellery. A private vehicle returns you to Port Said in time for your vessel's departure.
