Itinerary
Take a relaxing felucca ride on the Nile River after touring the Pyramids and Coptic Cairo. During your Cairo Nile tour, this is a fantastic way to experience Cairo's sights and sounds as well as life on the Nile. You are going to be driven back to Sokhna Port with your guide, capping off one of the greatest shore excursions in Egypt and an amazing trip to Sokhna Port.
Beginning our journey at the Giza Pyramids, the plateau features astronomical alignments, and the pyramids are nearly precisely aligned with Orion’s Belt. The polished white limestone that once enveloped the pyramids made them glow brilliantly in the sunlight. Furthermore, the boat pits discovered near the pyramids held disassembled ceremonial boats thought to carry the pharaoh to the afterlife. This legendary location is a standout feature of every trip to Egypt. Next, we proceed with our Cairo excursions to the Valley Temple. The Valley Temple can be found adjacent to the Great Sphinx and in proximity to the Pyramid of Khafre on the Giza Plateau. Constructed in Egypt's Old Kingdom, approximately 2600 BC, for Pharaoh Khafre. The temple was where the pharaoh's body underwent purification and mummification before being buried in the pyramid. This segment of the adventure makes this Sokhna shore tour truly thrilling.
Next, we will proceed to Coptic Cairo to explore incredible structures such as the Hanging Church. It can be found in Old Cairo, close to the Coptic Museum and the Babylon Fortress. The church is named “Hanging” due to its construction over a Roman gatehouse, elevated over the southern gate of the ancient Babylon Fortress. The church originates from the 3rd century AD, although the majority of its present design was reconstructed in the 9th century.
It was constructed over the cave where the Holy Family found shelter in the form of a basilica. Next, head to the Amr Ibn El-Aas Mosque, the first mosque in Egypt. The mosque was established in 641–642 CE by General "Amr ibn al-Āṣ" after the Arab Islamic takeover of Egypt. It was situated where his initial military tent stood in Fustat, the first Islamic capital of Egypt. It has the honor of being the first mosque in Egypt and across the entire African continent. Conclude your journey to Cairo with our Al Ain El Sokhna tours and shore activities from Sokhna Port. Have a great time on this fulfilling day trip in Egypt.
Take a relaxing felucca ride on the Nile River after touring the Pyramids and Coptic Cairo. During your Cairo Nile tour, this is a fantastic way to experience Cairo's sights.
