Like on most Nile cruises, Uniworld deals include Cairo pre- and post-cruise hotel stays with organized tours. Their main purpose is for guests to recover from jet lag after the aircraft travel to Egypt, and of course, to tour the Pyramids.

Uniworld arranges for its passengers in Egypt to stay at either Cairo Marriott Hotel (on Zamalek Island) or at the Four Seasons Hotel (Nile Plaza, Garden City). Being among the top luxury hotels in Cairo, both Marriott and Four Seasons attract a mix of wealthy local residents, as well as visitors from Middle East countries and many business people from around the world. The land tour itinerary starts on the next morning when you will meet the Uniworld's local staff and your fellow passengers.

Most of the pyramid tours additionally offer stops at Memphis (the Old Kingdom's capital) and Saqqara, featuring the Djoser's Step Pyramid and the Giza pyramids.

These excursions are always guided by local, Egyptology-trained expert guidance provided by the Uniworld company, who will be with you throughout the entire trip.

Among Cairo tour's itinerary highlights are the Citadel (with the Alabaster Mosque built during the Ottoman Empire / 1299-1919) and the Egyptian Museum (artifacts).

Uniworld River Tosca Wiki

MS Tosca is a step up from all the other ships (around 400) licensed to cruise on Nile River. Beyond the chandeliers and marble floors, there is much attention to every detail carried through all public rooms. Lanterns, shishas (water pipes) and colonial-era prints add an exotic flair to Uniworld's upscale decor. The staff consists mainly of Egyptians. As on most Uniworld cruises, Tosca passengers are well-travelled, in the 55+ category. Egypt is a Muslim country, so while swimsuits and shorts are fine on board, women will have to cover up when touring.

Egypt cruise itineraries on Lake Nasser and Nile River operated by other major lines are offered on the riverboats Kasr IbrimMayfair, Steigenberger Omar El Khayam (chartered mostly by Viking and Avalon) and Sonesta St George.
