In Cairo, which is known for its most popular sights and is home to many historical landmarks, our tour leader will meet and greet you at Sokhna Port to start your historic journey. We will start one of the most incredible shore excursions that reflects Egypt's soul by transporting you from Sokhna Port to Cairo in an air-conditioned car.
Giza Pyramids:
The Giza Pyramids will be our first destination. The idea that metal and tools can not rust when placed inside the Giza pyramids is among the most bizarre myths about them. Various firsthand reports indicate that when metal items like wires, razor blades, or tools are kept inside the pyramids, they typically don't rust or corrode. The pyramid design is thought to lessen oxidation. In the 1950s, Czech inventor Karel Drbal asserted that razor blades stored inside a cardboard pyramid would sharpen instead of rust. He even secured a patent for the design. One of the most recognizable sites on any tour of Egypt, this sight is a must-see for shore excursions from Sokhna Port.
Saqqara:
Saqqara is an ancient necropolis located south of Cairo. The Step Pyramid of Djoser, Egypt's oldest pyramid, which was built between 2667 and 2648 BCE, is its most famous component. It contains a number of tunnels, temples, and underground chambers and has been used as a burial ground for thousands of years. The first architect and physician in history, Imhotep, is credited with creating the Step Pyramid.
Old Cairo:
You will see both Christian and Islamic sites in Cairo, including the Hanging Church and the Amr ibn Al-'Ass Mosque. Many of our shore excursions from Sokhna Port include visits to these historical and cultural attractions.
Before we resume our trips, we will have lunch at a restaurant to refresh our brains.
Khan El Khalili Bazaar:
Time seems to bend in on itself in the heart of Cairo's Islamic district, a labyrinth of narrow streets, sparkling lanterns, and voices negotiating beneath ancient arches. For almost six centuries, trade, culture, and mysticism have all thrived together in Egypt's most popular marketplace, Khan El Khalili Bazaar.
Al Muizz Street:
Al-Muizz Street, known as the world's largest open museum of Islamic antiquities, features numerous historic mosques, schools, fountains, palaces, two agencies, three corners, two gates, and two restrooms, along with an archaeological treasure. One of the most interesting stops on any day trip from Ain Sokhna Port to Egypt is to see this street.
Following that, you will be taken to enjoy a delicious meal on a Nile boat while taking in the performances in the middle of the great Nile. This is the ideal way to finish off a full-day shore tour in Egypt.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner.
