Upon arrival at Sokhna Port, you are welcomed by our manager, who will be your companion during your shore trip to some of the most famous landmarks in Egypt.
From here, your journey begins at the illustrious Giza Plateau, home to the three legendary pyramids of Giza. Starting with the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which is the biggest among the three, it was constructed with more than 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing nearly 2.5 tons. It remains one of the greatest architectural feats known to mankind.
A Giza Pyramids tour will not be complete unless you admire the Great Sphinx: one of almost mythical creation-and body of a lion and human head-has stood watching the pyramids for over four millennia. You would also be visiting the Valley Temple, where the funeral rites concerning the mummification of Pharaohs took place.
Continue your tour with a visit to the Pyramid of King Chephren, the son of Cheops. With its steeper angles and prominent height, this structure creates a striking presence against the desert backdrop. You’ll then explore the Pyramid of King Mycerinus, where red ochre inscriptions in the burial chamber hint at the extraordinary craftsmanship and intelligence of ancient Egyptian artisans.
After a decadent offering of ancient Egypt, one is allowed to unwind with some leisurely felucca sailing on the Nile. The one-hour sailing experience makes for a calm counterbalance that lets passengers soak in the tranquil serenity of Egypt's most hallowed waterway—the river that was once worshipped as a god of life.
For anyone engaging in getting a bit more deep with the Egyptan history, we have several Egypt day tours for you to choose from. You may also want to consider joining the Coptic Cairo Tour, which visits some of Egypt's oldest Christian churches and gives you a unique glimpse into the country's rich spiritual history.
Once your excursion from Sokhna Port is winding down, your guide will make sure you are smoothly taken back to your cruise ship, carrying with you that footprint of unforgettable memories from your time in the land of legends.
