A shore day doesn't have to feel like a race against the clock. Our Port Said shore excursions are designed for cruise travelers who want to step off the ship and actually experience Egypt — not just pass through it. Each excursion is privately guided and takes you through some of Egypt's most compelling sites in Cairo City, from the Pyramids of Giza and the ancient ruins of Memphis and Saqqara Pyramids to the living, breathing energy of the Khan Al-Khalili Cairo Bazaar.
Every detail is taken care of before you even step off the gangway — port pickup, an expert guide who brings context to everything you see, and a schedule built around getting you back to the ship on time. Browse our Port Said excursions and find the day that feels right for you with Egypt Life Tours.

FAQs

Most travelers from North America, Europe, and many other countries will need a visa.
