ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE GUIDELINES

Your First Day – Monday Arrival in Cairo

For this seven-night cruise program, your arrival day in Cairo is intentionally free of scheduled excursions, allowing you to begin your journey at a relaxed pace. Whether you land in the morning, afternoon, or evening at Cairo International Airport, our representative will welcome you with a personalized sign, assist with your luggage, and escort you via private transfer to the luxurious Four Seasons Cairo at The First Residence.

The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish—unwind in your room, visit the spa, or explore the hotel’s refined surroundings. With no sightseeing planned, you can ease into your Egypt experience in complete comfort and without time pressure.

If you have reserved the optional visit to the Abu Simbel Temples, your domestic flight from Aswan to Cairo will be arranged for the late afternoon (after 4:00 p.m.). This timing ensures you can fully enjoy the morning excursion, which typically concludes around midday, before returning to the ship for checkout and luggage collection. Our team will then provide a direct transfer to Aswan Airport and coordinate your onward flight to Cairo.

For a smooth return home, we recommend scheduling your international departure from Cairo later that same evening if traveling onward the same day. Alternatively, you may choose to extend your stay in Cairo for additional nights before your international flight.

If you opt not to book the Abu Simbel excursion, your domestic flight from Aswan to Cairo can be scheduled at your preferred time—morning, midday, or afternoon. Cabin checkout is at 10:00 a.m.; however, you are welcome to relax in the reception area or enjoy onboard facilities until your transfer to the airport. As with the excursion option, we advise booking your international flight from Cairo in the evening, or extending your stay in Cairo should you wish to explore further.

All domestic flights and transfers are organized by our team to ensure a seamless and worry-free conclusion to your journey.

The above schedule reflects our recommended arrival and departure guidance. If your international flight timing differs, please contact us at info@visitgrandegyptianmuseum.com. We will gladly review your travel details and provide tailored recommendations. Our priority is to remain as flexible as possible while ensuring your experience is smooth from beginning to end.
