Itinerary
Your Egyptian trip starts as your cruise ship docks at Sokhna Port. Your personal driver will be waiting right outside the airport prepared to whisk you away in a clean, airconditioned car heading for Cairo. Just a calm beginning to a day you will never forget, no stress, no uncertainty.
The journey presents a calm change of pace. You'll see silent settlements, desert scenery, and flashes of daily life that lay the stage for what follows. Two hours on the road brings you to the first glimpse of the Giza Pyramids, a memorable sight regardless of how many times you have seen them in pictures.
Once you get at the location, you will step onto the old sands of the Giza Plateau. After more than 4,500 years, the three famous pyramids tower over you and stand tall. Your tour will reveal the intriguing tales behind these works of art—how they were constructed, what they symbolized for the pharaohs, and why they still mystify historians now.
Furthermore face to face with the Great Sphinx, a timeless emblem of Egypt, you will come across. Time exists to explore the grounds, take your ideal photos, and—if you want—enter the interior of a pyramid (optional admission ticket).
Following your trip to Giza, you will travel to the nearby Papyrus Institute, a cultural destination presenting one of Egypt's oldest creative mediums. You will discover how Egyptians produced papyrus scrolls many centuries before contemporary paper was developed. See the process develop from plant to product and examine unusual artwork painted on genuine papyrus sheets—unique souvenirs that are really special.
Along the trip you will have the chance to relish a tasty Egyptian lunch (not provided but optional), with regional cuisine honoring the great gastronomic customs of the area.
You will come back to Sokhna Port in plenty of time as the afternoon winds down to get back onboard your ship. There is no hurry, no worry—just a whole day filled with history, awe, and memories that will last you well after you depart Egypt.
