If you’re sailing with AROYA Cruises and docking in Alexandria, skip the ship’s shore excursion desk and book directly with us — a private guide and vehicle, at your own pace, typically at better value than a group excursion booked through the cruise line.
Whether your AROYA ship gives you a few hours in port or a full day, we’ll build your excursion around your ship’s exact schedule, so you can explore Cairo’s ancient wonders or Alexandria’s own Mediterranean charm without worrying about missing departure.
✅ Pickup & drop-off directly from Alexandria Port
✅ Private air-conditioned vehicle
✅ Professional Egyptologist guide
✅ Timed precisely around your AROYA ship’s schedule
✅ Return to port at least 2 hours before departure

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I make it back to my AROYA ship on time?
Yes — we plan your excursion around your ship’s exact departure time, with a comfortable buffer built in for Cairo traffic and return transfer.
Is it cheaper to book with you instead of through AROYA’s shore excursion desk?
Often, yes — a private tour gives you your own guide and vehicle rather than a shared group bus, typically at better value than the cruise line’s own excursion pricing.
Do I need a visa to leave the ship for this excursion?
Most passengers on organized shore excursions can disembark without a separate visa for short visits — check with AROYA based on your nationality to confirm.
