Cairo & Giza – The Ultimate Egypt Shore Excursion

For many first-time visitors, the most exciting way to spend a day in Egypt is to travel from the port to Cairo and Giza.

Standing before the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Great Sphinx is an experience unlike any other. The journey can then continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where travelers can discover an extraordinary collection covering thousands of years of Egyptian history.

The day can also include a visit to Khan El Khalili, Cairo's historic bazaar, where visitors can experience the atmosphere of traditional Cairo and browse local handicrafts and souvenirs.

This makes a Cairo and Giza shore excursion from Port Said or Alexandria an ideal choice for passengers who want to experience the most famous highlights of Egypt during their cruise.

Alexandria – A Different Side of Egypt

Alexandria offers a completely different experience.

Founded in antiquity and located on the Mediterranean coast, the city combines ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Christian, and Islamic heritage.

A dedicated Alexandria shore excursion allows MSC Lirica passengers to explore important historical attractions without making the long journey to Cairo.

The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Roman remains, Qaitbay Citadel, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and the city's Mediterranean Corniche create a fascinating combination of history and coastal scenery.

Private MSC Lirica Shore Excursions

Time is especially important during a cruise port call. For this reason, private tours offer MSC Lirica passengers greater flexibility and a more personalized experience.

Narmer Tours can arrange:

• Private air-conditioned vehicles
• Professional licensed guides
• Flexible sightseeing programs
• Port pickup and drop-off
• Tours for couples, families, and private groups
• Customized itineraries
• Careful coordination with the cruise schedule

The goal is to help passengers enjoy as much of Egypt as possible while keeping the excursion organized around their ship's schedule.

Why Visit Egypt During Your MSC Lirica Cruise?

Egypt is one of the world's most extraordinary destinations for history and archaeology enthusiasts. A single day can take you from the Mediterranean coast to the monuments of ancient Giza and the modern galleries of the Grand Egyptian Museum.

MSC Cruises itself describes its excursion program as being designed to help passengers make the most of their time ashore, with transportation, timing, and itineraries organized around the port visit.

For MSC Lirica passengers, this means that a well-planned private excursion can transform a regular port call into one of the most memorable parts of the entire Mediterranean cruise.

One Cruise, Two Egyptian Ports, Endless Possibilities

With Port Said on 30 October 2026 and Alexandria on 31 October 2026, MSC Lirica passengers have an exceptional opportunity to experience Egypt from two different gateways.
