Pickup at Sokhna Port
Your day shall commence as you offboard from your cruise ship at Sokhna Port. Near the ship jetty, there will be our tour leader waiting to give a warm welcome to your arrival. After a brief introduction and formalities, you maximize your own private air-conditioned vehicle to reach Cairo. Thereafter, see the sights change from the calm Red Sea coastline to the capital city's busy streets.
Giza Pyramids Tour
Your first stop will be the world-famous Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramid — a marvel of ancient engineering that has stood proudly in the desert for over 4,500 years. There will be every chance you want to walk around the site, bask in the beauty of it all through a camera, and slowly absorb all the lovely intriguing stories binding these wonders as narrated by an Egyptologist. Closeby, the Great Sphinx of Giza sits silently, carving through history from half-man, half-lion.
Towards the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization
Next, the tour continues to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, which beautifully showcases Egypt’s heritage from prehistoric times to the modern era. For many the Royal Mummy Hall is the chief attraction where one can actually look right into the faces of preserved remains of some of Egypt's most famed kings and queens. Through these well-curated displays, one begins to understand fully the culture and history behind Egypt.
Lunch and Experiencing Local Life
At midday, you will relish lunch at an excellent local Cairo restaurant and thus get a good sampling of Egyptian flavors. Depending on time, you'll also have a chance to explore the numerous shops selling local souvenirs and handicrafts, or perhaps enjoy a brief felucca ride along the Nile.
Return to Sokhna Port
In the late afternoon, you’ll be driven back to Sokhna Port, arriving in time to board your cruise. You’ll return with unforgettable memories of ancient wonders, rich history, and warm Egyptian hospitality.
