The practical details.
Tour Pricing per Person (Private Rates)
Solo Traveler: $232 | 2 Persons: $145 / person (Standard Rate) | 3 to 5 Persons: $119 / person | 6+ Persons: $102 / person. Children under 6 years are complimentary; children 6–11 receive a 50% discount. Includes private air-conditioned vehicle, licensed Egyptologist guide, and scheduled visits.
Confirm the port and berth information
Use the port details supplied by your cruise line and send the ship name. Meeting instructions are specific to the permitted access arrangement, not an assumed gangway collection.
Treat return time as a priority
Share the required all-aboard time and keep your phone usable ashore. A missed call or an extra unplanned stop can consume a carefully planned margin.
Prepare for the plateau
Wear comfortable shoes and bring water and sun protection. Much of the visit is exposed, with uneven ground; mobility needs should be discussed before accepting the route.
The written quotation takes precedence over this suggested programme. Check the final services, guiding arrangements and any optional costs before confirming.
Good to know.
What are the rates for different group sizes?
This tour is private. Rates start at $145 per person for 2 guests. Solo travelers pay $232 for dedicated transport and guiding, while parties of 3–5 pay $119 per person, and 6+ guests pay $102 per person.
Can we add a Cairo museum?
Request a separate assessment. The advertised route is Giza-focused, and an addition depends on the actual port window rather than proximity on a map.
Will the ship wait if we are delayed?
Do not assume so. This independently arranged excursion does not include a cruise-line waiting guarantee, even though the itinerary is planned with a return allowance.
Can we choose an earlier return?
Yes. Tell us your preferred boarding margin when enquiring; the planner can shorten the plateau visit or recommend a different outing if necessary.
Where will we be picked up?
The agreed meeting point at Sokhna port. Your exact meeting details are agreed before travel.
How is my booking confirmed?
Send an enquiry first. We review availability and provide a written quotation with the itinerary, services, price and booking conditions. Sending the form does not reserve a service.
