Does MSC Grand Voyage UAE to Italy through Suez Canal (Dubai to Rome 21 April 2024) stop in Egypt?

Can anyone confirm if there is an opportunity to visit Egypt with these tours? I saw the itinerary and loved it and booked it strait away but  looking - it does show Port Suez Canal North and South on 2 separate days?  Do you get off at one end for and on at the other as the times for arrival and departure are the same or do you stay on boat with no opportunity to see Egypt except from the boat. We are not travelling until next year but before booking any flights I'd like to make sure we are doing what we think we are.  I don't want to wait until shore tours come out to find I've made a big mistake.

 

Thanks All for any help!

Thank you - I have reread my paperwork and from the TA it says overnight for Day 12 - which made me think we could see Egypt before the transit.  Will have to decide now what is most important to us.
