Dahshur pyramids and felucca ride tour from Sokhna Port

Your tour guide will pick you up at the cruise ship's exit door at Ain Sokhna Port and drive you two hours to Cairo. When you get to Cairo, you'll go to some of the major sights as part of this unique Egypt shore excursion.

Your first stage will be a visit to the necropolis of Dahshour, one of Giza's quieter but no less significant monuments, which will be the first stop on the tour. The distance to the Giza pyramids is 23 kilometers. Three pyramids were erected there by King Snefru, the founder of the fourth dynasty: the tiny Ka pyramid, the Red pyramid, and the Bent pyramid. Between the Step pyramid and the Great Pyramid, the pyramids serve as a transition. Learn about the Bent pyramid's distinctive shape and the rationale for its construction. The pyramid grew in size and shape. Enjoy exploring those pyramids on this enriching Dahshur pyramids tour, and go inside to view each one.

Unlike other pyramids in the Fourth Dynasty, the Red Pyramid has no cult pyramid. This element may have been excluded since the nearby Leaning Pyramid of Sneferu assumed its function as a symbolic southern tomb. The remains of the temple road have not yet been found, but you can have great tours to see more of this in Cheap Giza Pyramids Budget Tours — one of many memorable stops during your Egypt tour. Although it was certainly planned between the valley and the mortuary temple. However, this may not have been completed or even begun. A larger brick building was found southeast of the complex, which apparently housed workshops. Remains of a kiln were also found there.

Then we will transfer to take the felucca ride in Cairo, which is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. A felucca is a traditional wooden sailboat that is used on the Nile River. It takes you on a journey through the city's history and culture. You will see the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the River Nile. It is a great way to see the city and its historical sites and a peaceful highlight of your Cairo tour from Sokhna Port.

Finally, we will have BBQ lunch on board at the felucca ride on the Nile, making this Sokhna shore excursion a perfect blend of history and relaxation.

At the end of your impressive Egypt day tour, drop off back to Ain Sokhna Port, concluding one of the most enriching shore excursions from Sokhna Port.
