Cymro1953 Posted May 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi, For example the average cost to see pyramids and Sphinx etc. is £80. I can't find latest prices, they are not on the website. We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise last June and they wanted £120 for an excursion to Cairo (Pyramids and Sphinx and Cairo Museum). Compared at the time to Thomson's £75 for exactly the same excursion. Berwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny wren Posted May 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I agree with Berwyn that Thomson excursions are probably the cheapest around!!! They are approximately £80 for the full day excursions and half that for the half day excursions....this would include lunch on a full day...in fact on the Cairo trips you get lunch and a snack box... This itinerary is all about the amazing historical sites at Petra in Jordan, Cairo and Luxor in Egypt...the ports are merely the gateways to these sites...the trips to these sites are long days ...but there are also shorter trips available. We have done this itinerary twice and loved it !!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claretboy Posted May 19, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2010 We went on the Red Sea Magic cruise last year, one of the problems we found is the ship uses commercial ports and you are not allowed to get off the ship unless you are on an organised tour. Sample prices November 2009 Petra – The Red Rose City; Approx 10 hrs; £82 each Classic Egypt – Pyramids & the Cairo Museum; Approx 11 hrs; £75 each Luxor overnight with sound and light show; Overnight stay; £135 each Luxor – Karnak & Valley of the Kings; Approx 15hrs; £82 each I would not expect large differences in the cost for an excursion this year.

Huddersfieldtourist Posted May 21, 2010 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Petra is possible independently - you need to arrange this with the taxi drivers in Aqaba onyour first day - a saving if 4 of you go - no saving at all for 2 - infact more for 2 by taxi - a small saving for 3 - Luxor is impossible independently - Cairo is only possible if you have pre arranged this before you go with a tour guide fromthe internet.
