Are monument entrance tickets and meals included automatically?

We follow the specific monuments named in the itinerary—preserving whether the route visits Egyptian Museum in Tahrir—and can adjust the balance of stops in your quotation if you request a different museum focus.
Can pickup times and pacing be adjusted for our group?

Where will we be picked up?
The permitted meeting point at Port Said Port, coordinated with your ship's arrival. Your exact meeting details are agreed before travel.
