Morning Departure from Sokhna Port Every great day starts with a comfortable transfer from Sokhna Port to a private, air-conditioned vehicle and out again on another scenic drive toward Cairo. Glorious views of Egypt's striking desert begin to usher in the historical magic to come. Giza Plateau: a Legacy in Stone On arrival in Cairo, head straight to the mythical Giza Plateau, the very shrine of all pyramids across the globe. Stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, an engineering marvel towering atop the landscape for more than 4,500 years. Move on to the Pyramid of Khafre, distinguished by remnants of its original limestone casing, and then to the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest but equally significant in royal legacy. Visit to Giza would be incomplete if one does not visit the enigmatic Great Sphinx. This colossal figure, carved out of a single block of limestone: its silent gaze and timeless secrets continue to perplex historians and travelers alike. Savour a Traditional Egyptian Meal To wind up your pyramids visits, enjoy a delightful luncheon at a predetermined restaurant for a taste of authentic Egyptian flavor. The Egyptian Museum: A Gateway to the Past Lunch time will see you step into the Egyptian Museum: a treasure house of ancient artifacts, royal relics, and that iconic collection of King Tutankhamun. Walk among halls filled with statues, jewelry, and, in many cases, intricate burial masks that are tests of the grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization. Exploring Local Crafts (Optional Stop) If time allows, a visit to a local bazaar or artisan workshop could be made, where you could see traditional papyrus-making, finely carved jewelry, or fine Egyptian cotton products made.
Your return to Sokhna Port is now finished as the sun lowers its blazing rays all across the beautiful skyline of Cairo. Now sit on your vehicle with reflections of wonderful sights and memories in mind as you arrive back at your ship with all that packed with the echoes from Egypt.
