Design the day around the port call
One Egypt team connects the itinerary, the operational detail, and the people responsible for delivery.
Meeting arrangements

Excursion pacing
Allow for road travel, site visits, meals, and the group’s pace when setting the sightseeing programme.
Return planning
Agree on a return time with a buffer before the all-aboard deadline and review changes to the ship’s schedule.
Local knowledge, organised for professional travel.
Egypt Rest Tours operates premium shore excursions for cruise lines and their passengers calling at Egypt's major Mediterranean and Red Sea ports. Whether a vessel docks at Alexandria, Safaga, Port Said, or Ain Sokhna, our port teams are ready with private transport, professional Egyptologist guiding, and itineraries timed precisely to each ship's arrival and departure windows.
Port-by-port coverage
From Alexandria, guests reach Cairo's Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum, or explore the port city's own Greco-Roman heritage. From Safaga and Ain Sokhna, excursions connect efficiently to Luxor's temples or Red Sea coastal experiences. Port Said arrivals open access to Cairo day trips through the Suez Canal region.
Every excursion is designed with reliable return timing as the top priority, backed by an experienced ground team in direct, continuous communication with ship agents, so cruise guests never risk missing embarkation.
Built for cruise-line partnerships
We work directly with cruise lines and their shore excursion departments to build compliant, insured, and clearly priced programs, along with private, non-ship-organized options for independent cruise passengers who prefer smaller groups and greater flexibility.
