Overview
Set off on an unforgettable journey from Alexandria to Egypt’s vibrant capital, Cairo. A Venture Ashore representative will welcome you at the port before you travel through the desert landscape toward one of the world’s most fascinating historical regions.
Your experience begins at the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World — the Pyramids of Giza. Spend time exploring the site and capturing incredible photos from the Western Plateau, where panoramic views of all three pyramids and the surrounding desert create a dramatic backdrop.
Continue to the foot of the complex to visit the iconic Great Sphinx, a powerful symbol of ancient Egypt carved more than 4,500 years ago.
Next, visit the Papyrus Institute, where you’ll learn about the ancient craft of papermaking and have time to browse traditional artworks.
You’ll then enjoy a set-menu lunch at Khufu Restaurant, offering impressive views of the pyramids — an unforgettable setting to relax and sample local cuisine.
The afternoon is dedicated to exploring the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum, the newest and most comprehensive museum of Egyptian antiquities in the world. Wander through its vast galleries, admire beautifully curated displays, and gain deeper insight into Egypt’s rich cultural heritage. (Please note: the museum can be extremely busy on peak days.)
After your visit, relax on the return journey to Alexandria, where your ship awaits.
