Alexandria Highlights

Visit the fascinating Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the city's most remarkable underground archaeological sites.

Continue to Pompey's Pillar, an impressive ancient monument associated with the Roman period.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and take a scenic drive along the Alexandria Corniche before returning to the cruise port.

Alexandria Tour Route

Alexandria Port → Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa → Pompey's Pillar → Qaitbay Citadel → Bibliotheca Alexandrina → Lunch → Corniche → Alexandria Port

This option is ideal for travelers who want to experience Alexandria's ancient history, Greco-Roman heritage and Mediterranean atmosphere without traveling to Cairo.

Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BC and became one of the most important cities of the ancient Mediterranean world.

Option 2 – Alexandria to Cairo & Giza

For travelers who want to see Egypt's most famous monuments, choose a private excursion from Alexandria Port to Cairo and Giza.

Tour Highlights

Visit the legendary:

• Great Pyramids of Giza

• Grand Egyptian Museum
• Local Egyptian restaurant for lunch

After your sightseeing tour, return by private air-conditioned vehicle to Alexandria Port in time for your Norwegian Sky departure.

Cairo & Giza Tour Route

This is an excellent choice for first-time visitors who want to experience the iconic Pyramids of Egypt during their cruise.

Option 3 – One-Day Luxor Shore Excursion from Safaga

When Norwegian Sky arrives at Safaga Port on September 16, passengers have the opportunity to travel into the heart of Upper Egypt and discover legendary Luxor.

Known as the World's Greatest Open-Air Museum, Luxor preserves some of the most spectacular monuments of Ancient Egypt.

One-Day Route

Safaga Port → Luxor West Bank → Valley of the Kings → Hatshepsut Temple → Colossi of Memnon → Lunch → Karnak Temple → Safaga Port

Option 4 – 2-Day Luxor Overnight Excursion from Safaga

Because Norwegian Sky remains in the Safaga area overnight, cruise passengers can choose a more relaxed 2-Day Luxor Tour.

This option allows you to spend more time exploring Luxor rather than trying to visit everything in a single day.

Day 1 – Luxor East Bank

Safaga Port → Luxor → Karnak Temple → Lunch → Luxor Temple → Hotel

Explore the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex and discover the spectacular Luxor Temple.

Spend the night in Luxor and enjoy a more relaxed evening in the ancient city.
