Your tour leader will be waiting for you upon arrival at Sokhna Port, ready to assist you and escort you in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle as you begin your expertly guided Sokhna shore excursion.
Start your journey at the majestic Giza Plateau, home to the world-famous pyramids of Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren), and Menkaure (Mycerinus). These timeless structures continue to astound visitors and are an essential highlight of any Egypt tour.
Start with a visit to the Valley Temple of King Chephren, where priests once carried out the rites of mummification. Just makes for a perfect neighbour, the Great Sphinx looms rather tall with the body of a lion and the face of King Chephren: one of the most photographed monuments of ancient Egypt.
After all these inspiring encounters, head over to a nearby Egyptian restaurant and satisfy your hunger before hitting the road again.
Turn back to the very beginning, so to speak- Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt, established some time around 3100 BC. Stand there in awe before the giant statues of Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx-the witnesses of this place to the glory and grace of the Old Kingdom.
The last stop on your itinerary: The city located approximately 27km southwest of Cairo is home to the famed Step Pyramid of King Djoser. This represents the earliest large-scale cut stone construction in history; this site stands for a crucial stage in the development of pyramid architecture—progressing from simple mastabas all the way to the grand pyramids we admire today.
After your scenic Egypt shore excursion, you will be transferred comfortably back to the cruise ship at Sokhna Port.
