Following your arrival at Sokhna Port, our tour guide will meet and greet you outside the port before starting your journey from Sokhna Port to Cairo in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Your first destination after arriving in Cairo will be the Great Pyramid of King Khufu, the last of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World. Admire its massive structure and learn about the amazing engineering that made it possible more than 4,500 years ago. As you travel to the Pyramid of Khafre, which may be easily recognized by the remains of its original limestone coating at the top, learn about the mysteries of the neighbouring temples. The Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three, is the next stop. It has a magical history. Your tour will also include a visit to the ancient Great Sphinx, which has been guarding the plateau for thousands of years with the body of a lion and the face of a king. You will hear amazing stories from your guide about the mysteries and meaning. Among all the excursions of Egypt, this one from Sokhna Port to the Giza Pyramids is the most stunning.
The Step Pyramid in Saqqara is one of the most popular, because it served as the ancient Kingdom's royal burial place until the third dynasty, and also a highlight of most Egypt shore tours.
As part of your tour, you will also go to Gayer-Anderson's home. Anderson led a colourful life as an adventurer, surgeon, soldier, collector, dilettante, lover, and beauty preserver. The most famous item he owned was an extinct cat. The Mosque of Ibn Tulun is one of Egypt's most beautiful masterpieces of Islamic architecture and the largest mosque in Cairo in terms of land area.
The journey will then be exciting and enjoyable as you are transported back to your cruise ship in Sokhna Port, marking the end of a unique shore excursion in Sokhna.
