Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt Port Reviews

I would not go back. Got ripped off by a local person.

Almost all passengers opted for the several excursions to Giza and Saqqara to visit the pyramids. The agressive and abusive hordes of scam artists and hawkers detracted significantly from what would have been an excellent visit to the pyramid complex. I took the camel-riding and jeep safari after visiting the pyramids and this was a much better value than expected, with at least 30 minutes on a camel in caravan and at least 30 minutes in a jeep.

We took a ship tour and we only had 30 minutes at both sets of pyramids and 1 hour at a papyrus store. Next day we shared taxi and went around Alexandria and it was great

Pyramids

Cairo Excursion to see the Pyramids & Sphinx was very good - great experience. You need to see them in person to appreciate.

This was fantastic. I always wanted to go to Egypt and the pyramids. I didn't understand why our guide tried to talk us out of the camel ride and going into the pyramid, which were amazing.

Ancient wonders are preserved in memory only

Did a panoramic excursion at this port. It was nice.

The trip to see the pyramids in Giza was phenomenal. A true thrill to see them.

excursion around town and to the Library also had armed security on the bus and military escorts which made us nervous, but it was a very interesting place to see. I wouldnt go back.
