Your adventure begins with a stop at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, one of Egypt's most important cultural treasures. The museum exhibits the country's history from different eras in two major sections:
First, the Chronological Galleries. Explore and walk through time, beginning with the Prehistoric era with stone tools and early human remains, and ending with the Pharaonic period, which is rich in ancient Egyptian artifacts. Continue through the Greco-Roman period with sculptures and coins, the Coptic period with Christian texts and icons, and the Islamic period with magnificent calligraphy, ceramics, and architectural models. The voyage concludes with the Modern & Contemporary gallery, which showcases Egypt's evolution from the nineteenth century to the present.
The second section is Thematic Galleries. Explore exhibitions about the Nile and its role in life, the evolution of writing, governance and society, religion and burial rituals, and material culture such as jewellery, clothes, and crafts. The Royal Mummies Hall is the museum's showpiece, featuring 18 ancient kings and four queens, including Ramses II, Seti I, and Hatshepsut. These mummies are displayed in climate-controlled cases that mimic tomb environments, with detailed panels representing the stories of their reigns and even the circumstances of their deaths. This visit provides an amazing insight into Egypt's past and is a must-see for history lovers.
After this experience filled with science, knowledge, and cultural history, we will head to the Giza Pyramids to enjoy riding a quad bike. Giza, in Cairo, is most famous for the Giza Plateau, which contains the Great Pyramid of Khufu and other notable pyramids. To make your visit to Egypt truly unforgettable, you may add this experience to any Sokhna shore excursion or include it in a shore excursion from Sokhna Port to the Giza Pyramids.
