Amazing Tour For Cruise Passengers!

Highly recommend this tour, especially if you are looking for a Day trip to Cairo as a cruise ship passenger from Alexandria. Seemless pickup, nice transportation, and great guide/driver. We had Aladdin as our guide who was extremely knowledgeable about everything regarding the Pyramids, and then took us to some local markets and museums.
