Cruise from Limassol to Port Said:
- Visiting the Cairo Museum
- Visit the Pyramids and the Sphinx
The Cruise ship leaves Limassol, Cyprus, and heads to Port Said in Egypt, it is an overnight crossing so you can make use of the facilities on-board the cruise ship.
The Eastern Mediterranean Cruise
The trip to the Pyramids which also includes the Cairo Museum of Antiquities and the Sphinx takes a full day. The Pyramids are surprisingly close to the City of Cairo, which has been steadily growing for the past 1000 or more years.
You can actually go down into the Great Pyramid at Giza, it is an odd feeling, finding ones self hundreds of meters inside an almost solid chunk of rock.
3 Day Cruise to Israel
The second cruise that is regularly seen leaving Cyprus is one that takes in Israel and the Holy Land. With time to visit the Wailing Wall and Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth. This cruise is a must for any budding historians out there, this history just has to be seen to be believed.
