Logistics & Meeting Information

Strategically located on the Mediterranean Sea, Alexandria's cruise port is a popular stop for cruise ships. Cruise ships in Alexandria's port typically dock by 9 am. Our driver will be waiting for you from 9 am outside the main terminal after you clear customs with a sign that says "sharm-club.com". He will take you to Cairo in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. The distance from Alexandria to the pyramids of Giza is around 220 km, and the ride takes approximately 3 hours due to speed limits for tourist transportation.

What You Will See: An In-Depth Look at the Giza Plateau

Our express pyramids tour includes visits and exploration of the following iconic places in the area:

The Great Pyramid of Giza (Pyramid of Cheops): A colossal stone monument that has stood for over 4,500 years. Crafted with precision, it consists of approximately 2.3 million limestone and granite blocks. It was constructed as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu to ensure his journey to the afterlife.

The Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren): The second-largest pyramid on the plateau, built for Pharaoh Khafre. Its most striking feature is its upper portion, which still retains some of its original smooth, gleaming casing stones. The pyramid complex includes the Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and a causeway.

The Pyramid of Menkaure: The smallest of the three main pyramids, built for Pharaoh Menkaure. It is distinguished by its three-tiered design and the three Queens' Pyramids adjacent to it, thought to be the final resting places for the pharaoh's queens.
