Transit Visa:

Transit Visa: Cruise passengers can obtain a transit visa stamp on board, provided free of charge by the Egyptian Immigration Association.

 
 

Tour Availability:

We offer tours from all Egyptian ports: Alexandria, Safaga, Port Said and Ain Sokhna.

If your cruise is scheduled to arrive later than 7 AM or depart before 9 PM from Alexandria or Port Said, we recommend opting for a day trip to Cairo to exclusively visit the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Given the time constraints, it would be challenging to include any additional sights beyond these iconic landmarks. This recommendation ensures you can enjoy a memorable visit to these ancient wonders and return to your cruise ship on time.

 

Our tours are small group tours, and can also be fully customized as private VIP tours upon request.
