Overview
Experience one of the world’s most iconic ancient civilizations on this full-day journey from Alexandria to Cairo. A Venture Ashore representative will greet you at the port before you travel across the desert landscape toward Egypt’s bustling capital — a city where ancient wonders and modern life blend seamlessly.
Your exploration begins at the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World: the Pyramids of Giza. Start your visit at the Western Plateau, the perfect vantage point for panoramic photos of all three pyramids with the Cairo skyline in the distance.
Continue to Khafre’s Pyramid, where you’ll have free time to walk around the site, admire the remarkable architecture up close, and take in the magnitude of these monumental structures built over 4,500 years ago.
From here, travel down to the valley where the timeless guardian of the complex — the Great Sphinx — stands watch. With the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, the Sphinx remains one of Egypt’s most captivating symbols.
Your tour continues with a visit to the Papyrus Institute, where you’ll see a demonstration of traditional papermaking and have the option to browse authentic artworks crafted using this ancient technique.
Before returning to Alexandria, enjoy a delicious lunch at Khufu Restaurant, offering wonderful views of the pyramids — the perfect setting to unwind and reflect on your day of discovery.
Your adventure concludes with a comfortable return drive to Alexandria Port, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Egypt’s most treasured landmarks.
