Pyramids and Citadel from Alexandria Port

Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative on a 3-hour journey from Alexandria Port to Cairo, Africa's largest city. Along the way, you'll traverse reclaimed desert landscapes and modern industrial towns. Upon reaching Cairo, your first stop is the Citadel of Saladin, a historical fortress built by the legendary Muslim leader Salah ad-Din (Saladin) in the 12th century, serving as both a strategic defence against Crusader invasions and a powerful symbol of Islamic architecture and resilience.  Lunch time.  The adventure continues at the Giza Plateau, where you'll witness the Great Pyramids of Giza, the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Next, visit the enigmatic Great Sphinx, guardian of the ancient mortuary complex, and continue to witness the art of papermaking at Papyrus Institute and souvenir shopping before returning to Alexandria Port. Your adventure concludes with a return to your ship, leaving you with memories of Egypt's wonders.
