After you’ve exhausted all of magnificent Alexandria’s attractions – Alexandria National Museum, Lighthouse of Alexandria, Montazah Palace Gardens, Roman Amphitheatre – book a tour to see the amazing pyramids of Giza.
Shore excursions from boat and private day tours over land to see the pyramids are readily available, and remember to look for multi-destination tours including other destinations such as Sakkara (Saqqara), the necropolis for the ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis.
A typical pyramid tour from Alexandria could begin by first heading to Cairo, and the western plateau of Giza, before continuing down the valley, past the mysterious sphinx and onwards towards Sakkara, Memphis, burial place of Ancient Egypt.
Popular attractions and activities that can be included along with the Giza Pyramids on day trips from Alexandria:
- Egyptian Museum
- Old Cairo
- Sphinx
- Felucca Ride on the Nile
- Nile cruise with lunch
