Day Tour from Sokhna Port: Pyramids & Civilization Museum
Overview
From the Red Sea into the Heart of Egypt
Once the cruise is over, and you disembark the ship at the Sokhna Port, the warm representative of the company will welcome you and take you through Egypt's soul. Driving to Cairo is not just the mere change of scenery from those calm blue waters of the Red Sea to the noise and hubbub of the capital. Passing through deserted wilds, small hamlets, and congratulating glimpses of everyday Egyptian life on your way.
Before the Pyramids
One for a lifetime is the view from the Giza Plateau. The Great Pyramid just rising out of the sands was an incredible work tested and proven by time. One can imagine being at the same place where the first workers stood, for thoughts of the skills and will that built those wonders came into the mind. Close by stands the Great Sphinx, silently watching over the mysteries of the ancient past. Your guide will enrich you with history, legends, and grandiloquent little bits about these monuments.
Discover the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization
There are several ways to approach the Museum of Egyptian Civilization. The tricky part is that all approaches have their own charm. Favoring the desert-theory, in one glorious arrangement, you would choose to start from the desert, into the modern yet deeply historische halls of the Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
This museum narrates Egypt's story from its earliest days to modern times through carefully-curated exhibitions that showcase its culture in all its beauty and depth. The Royal Mummies Hall is the attraction for most-the extraordinary encounter with the kings and queens who once ruled this land, looked after over the centuries for viewing.

Returning to Sokhna Port
