Upon your arrival at Sokhna Port, your expert tour guide will be there to greet you and escort you in an air-conditioned vehicle, ready to begin your historical excursion from Sokhna Port.
Your first stop is the famous Saqqara, home to the much-admired Step Pyramid of King Djoser that is widely considered the oldest stone monument and the first royal tomb erected in recorded history. Going by tradition, this brilliant architectural genius named Imhotep built it between 2737 and 2717 BC; this is one famous focal point that should feature in any well-thought-through Egypt tour.
Continuing on the way is Dahshur, one of Egypt’s most mystifying archaeological sites. Here, you will see the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, built during the reign of King Sneferu. These grand structures are very much an essential sight of any traveller who wishes to go for a fairly authentic Egypt shore excursion experience.
Once your Sokhna shore excursion wraps up, you shall certainly be returned to your cruise ship at Ain Sokhna Port with memories of a deep dive into the ancient heart of Egypt.
