Azamara Onward Shore Excursion: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum

If you’re sailing on the Azamara Onward and docking in Alexandria, go beyond the ship’s own excursion desk with a genuinely private, unhurried day — your own dedicated guide and vehicle, moving at your pace rather than a group’s schedule.

This excursion takes you straight from Alexandria Port to Cairo, covering two of Egypt’s absolute must-sees: the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, followed by the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection — all timed precisely around your Azamara Onward’s schedule in port.

✅ Pickup & drop-off directly from Alexandria Port
✅ Private air-conditioned vehicle
✅ Professional Egyptologist guide
✅ Timed precisely around your Azamara Onward’s schedule
✅ Return to port at least 2 hours before departure

Your Day

Meet your guide at Alexandria Port and drive to Giza (approximately 2.5 hours) to explore the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, and the Great Sphinx. From there, continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum — the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization — to see Tutankhamun’s golden mask and treasures, displayed together publicly for the first time since the tomb’s discovery in 1922. After lunch, we’ll drive you back to Alexandria Port in time for your ship’s departure.

Price: From $110 per person

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I make it back to the Azamara Onward 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.

I usually explore independently rather than book ship excursions — why book this instead?
This isn’t a typical group excursion. You get your own private guide and vehicle, set your own pace, and go deeper into the history and context of each site — the kind of personal, unhurried experience many independent travelers actually prefer over doing it alone or joining a large group.

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 Azamara based on your nationality to confirm.
